A case of VABB application
Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is a technique that uses vacuum suction. The doctor will insert a VABB needle into the patient's breast and use vacuum suction to cut and extract the tissue sample, which will be sent for cytological examination. It is known that there are currently many breast biopsy methods, but vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is a modern technique. The method has been successfully implemented at the Binh Duong Provincial General Hospital, marking a significant advancement in the field of oncology and bringing many benefits in diagnosing and treating breast gland diseases for the local population.
