TL;DR: The frequency of histologic underestimation of breast carcinoma in lesions initially diagnosed as atypical ductal hyperplasia or ductal carcinomas in situ using large-core needle biopsy is substantially lower with the 11-gauge directional vacuum-assisted device than with the automated 14- gauge needle and with the 14-g Gauge directional Vacuum assisted biopsy device.

TL;DR: There is a wide spectrum of mammographic appearances of clinically occult DCIS, and women aged 49 years or less with DCIS were more likely to have microcalcifications and less likely toHave a soft-tissue mass than women aged 50 years or more.

TL;DR: Large-core needle biopsy (LCNB) is a reliable diagnostic alternative to surgical excision of suspicious nonpalpable breast abnormalities and utility and potential limitations of LCNB compared with the criterion standard, surgical excison after wire localization.

TL;DR: Modifications have been made in the spring hookwire system to facilitate accurate three-dimensional placement and to aid surgeons in gauging the location of the hook with respect to a breast lesion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency and distribution of changes in the screen-film mammographic appearance of breast tissue between pre-treatment and post-treatment mammography were investigated for 50 postmenopausal women who underwent hormone replacement therapy.
