SiteSelect Compared to Other Methods

There are several different types of biopsies available, but many of them don't have the advantages that Site Select offers. Take a look at the other breast biopsy methods and see what makes Site Select a truly valuable medical device.

Vacuum-assisted Biopsies
  • Lesion is NOT retrieved intact or oriented, no architecture
  • Specimen collection is difficult
  • Requires motors and vacuum
  • Very noisy and cumbersome to set-up
  • Higher re-biopsy rate compared to excisional (SiteSelect)
CNB - Core Needle Biopsies
  • Multiple firing
  • Sampling error potential
  • Potential for insufficient tissue sample for diagnosis
  • Several diagnoses require open surgical biopsy for definitive diagnosis
  • Short-term follow-up mammography recommended - this becomes costly
FNA - Fine Needle Aspiration
  • Cytological vs. histological analysis
  • Cancer may be under diagnosed
  • High false negative rates
Wire Localization Lumpectomy / Open Surgical Biopsy
  • Requires general anesthesia
  • Longer procedure time
  • No image guidance; unnecessary large tissue is excised
  • Longer recovery timer
  • Comparatively poor cosmetic result
