Table 5 The effect of volume – percentage removed by VABB

From: Is zero underestimation feasible? Extended Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy in solid lesions – a blind study

 

Cases yielding identical results from both procedures

Cases in which the blind pathological examination after surgery yielded a less severe diagnosis

Volume removed by VABB (Mean ± SD)

3.32 ± 3.50 cm3

8.20 ± 1.10 cm3

Percentage of the lesion removed by VABB (Mean ± SD, %)

74.34 ± 23.43

97.83 ± 4.86
