Abstract

Pre-operative morphological verification of tumors of the breast is a necessary phase of diagnosis. The primary method of obtaining material is a fine needle aspiration biopsy, which in some cases is provides poor information. The use of histological methods of biopsy of non-palpable breast lesions extends possibilities of accurate diagnosis and combined treatment of patients with breast cancer, determines the choice and extent of treatment for benign tumors. The latter, after removing them by means of cryomammotom with urgent histological examination, allow limiting of this manipulation and avoiding segmental resection.
