Can Needle Biopsies Spread Cancer?
NEEDLE BIOPSIES CAN SPREAD CANCER? IS THERE A GOOD WAY TO DO A BIOPSY WITHOUT DAMAGE TO BREAST WHEN CANCER IS SUSPECTED IN THE DUCTS? IF YOU ALREADY HAVE DONE A BIOPSY RECENTLY ON A BREAST, WHAT CAN ONE DO NOW TO PROTECT ONESELF FROM CANCER SPREADING?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
This is still controversal but generally there is no risk of cancer spreading during biopsy in breasrst. it may be possible in liver biopsy. Wish you good health. Regards
