Breast pathology refers to the surgical methods of excision, forceps, puncture needle aspiration, and pruritic scraping and removal of localized masses to take pathological tissue for pathological examination, which is the method of determining the diagnosis and the gold standard for determining whether or not you have a malignant tumor.
Breast pathology is not suitable for women who are breastfeeding.
1. If the tumor is less than 2.5 cm in size and has no adhesions to the surrounding tissues, it needs to be removed as completely as possible, fixed with specialized reagents after removal, and sent immediately for pathological examination.
2. If the tumor is large and malignancy is suspected, the specimen should be excised as much as possible to remove the obvious part of the lesion.
3. A certain depth must be reached when removing suspicious tissue from the breast so that a more accurate histologic determination can be made.
Pathology is used for mammograms and ultrasounds that are suspicious, and then the results are used to accurately confirm the diagnosis of breast cancer. The pathological examination includes cytopathological and histopathological examinations. Cytopathological examination is less invasive, less painful, faster and more convenient. Histopathology not only characterizes but also determines the type of tumor before surgery and provides a reference for treatment.
