Performance of Stereotactic Vacuum-assisted Biopsy on Breast Microcalcifications: Comparison of 7-gauge and 10-gauge Biopsy Needles

摘要


PURPOSE. Stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is an important technique to diagnose isolated breast microcalcifications. Larger specimens obtained facilitate the early cancer assessment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We retrospectively reviewed the stereotactic VABB on breast microcalcification in our hospital and compared the diagnostic performances of using 7-gauge (7-G) and 10-gauge (10-G) VABB needles. RESULTS. A total of 628 patients (187 biopsied by 7-G needle and 441 by 10-G needle) were included for analyses, showing 18.47% prevalence for breast cancers. Regarding the results of 153 cases with surgical pathology and 475 with clinical follow-up for at least 2-year, the overall cancer sensitivity was counted to 92.24%, specificity to 98.24% and accuracy to 98.63%. The accuracies, sensitivities and complete retrieval of microcalcifications by 7-G and 10-G needles were 100% to 97.27% (p = 0.022), 100% to 86.36% (p = 0.067) and 37.97% to 24.04% (p < 0.001), respectively. Of the biopsies (42 by 7-G and 111 by 10-G) with subsequent surgical proof, the false negative rates were 0% and 9.01%, respectively; the upgrade rates of atypia lesions were 0% and 26.47%; and the upgrade rates of ductal carcinoma in situ were 15.38% and 9.10%. The cancer sensitivity of specimens with calcifications was higher for 7-G than 10-G VABB, but no significant difference for the specimens without calcifications. CONCLUSION. Both 7-G or 10-G VABB could diagnosed suspicious microcalcifications of the breasts; however, 7-G needle had higher cancer sensitivity, accuracy, upgrade rate of atypia lesions and complete retrieval of microcalcifications.
