Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue of Diagnostics focusing on ‘Advances in Breast Biopsy’. Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor for women around the world. Accurate diagnosis of breast cancer among the possible abnormalities is the initial step prior to cancer treatment. For those who suspect they may have breast cancer, percutaneous breast biopsy is playing an important role for diagnosis in clinical practice. With the advance development of image-guiding techniques, including stereotactic/tomosynthesis guided biopsy, sonographic guided biopsy, MRI-guided biopsy, and contrast-enhanced mammographic guided biopsy, the high performance of biopsy, regardless of whether it is for microcalcifications or masses, can almost completely replace surgical biopsy. What is more, this is possible not only for diagnosis—the biopsy technique can help surgical planning and non-surgical excision or provide specimens for biomarker tests.
This Special Issue on ‘Advances in Breast Biopsy’ aims to share authors’ experiences and ideas around this topic, including the aspects of biopsy techniques, imaging, surgery, pathology, or others. All efforts which can help to advance breast biopsy are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Yun-Chung Cheung
Guest Editor
