An excisional breast biopsy surgically removes an entire tumor or abnormal area from the body.
Surgical breast biopsies include both incisional and excisional biopsies. An incisional surgical biopsy is an outpatient procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision in the breast and removes a small amount of tissue, not the entire lesion, although it s a larger tissue specimen than a needle breast biopsy can obtain.
An incisional biopsy is a medical test to remove a piece of tissue from a lesion or mass. The tissue is tested to find out what it is. An excisional biopsy is a medical test where the whole lesion or mass is removed and tested. Incisional and excisional biopsies are most often used for lesions involving the skin, breast, muscles, and lymph nodes.
Excisional biopsy is indicated when there is an abnormal area in the breast and fine needle or core biopsy is not possible or has given an inconclusive result. Excisional biopsy, also known as an open surgical biopsy, is a surgical procedure to remove an area of abnormality in the breast.
In an excisional biopsy of the breast, the surgeon makes an incision in the skin and removes all or part of the abnormal tissue for examination under a microscope. Unlike needle biopsies, a surgical biopsy leaves a visible scar on the breast and sometimes causes a noticeable change in the breast s shape.
There are several types of breast biopsies, including stereotactic, ultrasound-guided, MRI-guided, and excisional breast biopsy. This article focuses on

In what universe do all women who have breast cancer get their breasts removed or even require surgery on them??
Though I admit I am hardly an expert let alone an oncologist, I am sure that not all breast cancer sufferers require a biopsy let alone major surgery!
As for the story itself, it is the start of what could be an excellent actual story.
Well done so far .....
