Breast Biopsy Pathologist Edi Brogi analyzes breast tissue from biopsies to help shape personalized treatment plans.

If a physical exam, a mammogram, or other imaging tests show a suspicious change in one of your breasts, the next step is likely to be a biopsy. During a breast biopsy, a tissue sample is taken from your breast. It’s then examined under a microscope by a pathologist — a doctor who specializes in diagnosing disease — who can determine whether it contains cancerous cells.

Breast biopsies are performed in different ways based on your situation.
