Why do I need a breast biopsy?
You may need a breast biopsy if:
You or your health care provider felt a lump in your breast
Your mammogram, MRI, or ultrasound tests show a lump, shadow, or other area of concern
You have changes in your nipple, such as bloody discharge
If your health care provider has ordered a breast biopsy, it does not necessarily mean you have breast cancer. The majority of breast lumps that are tested are benign, which means noncancerous.
