I heard that open biopsy is the initial prodecure for breast palpable breast mass lesions in most of our hospitals. Can you write down the initial or first procedure used for these women in your hospitals?

A. Fine needle aspiration biopsy

B. Core needle biopsy

C. Open biopsy

Hospitals in China

In most situation or in most cases.

Also what is the initial procedure for most non-palpable breast lesions.

Palpable lesions: one of A, B, C

Non-palpable lesions:one of A, B, C. 

Thanks,
