Suspicious dominant breast masses are biopsied, as are suspicious areas found on mammogram. Commonly, this is done by fine-needle aspiration (FNA). A very thin needle is placed in the suspicious area, suction applied, and multiple, tiny core samples taken. Alternatively, open biopsy is sometimes necessary to remove all the suspicious tissue.
