Memorial
Regional Breast Care Center
What if I need a biopsy?
 Prior to a procedure such as a ductogram, cyst aspiration or a core biopsy scheduled at Memorial Regional Breast Care Center (MRBCC), a nurse from the center will call you. The nurse will explain the procedure, give directions, check on allergies and blood thinners, and notify you to pre-certify with your insurance. Questions will be answered and support given to you.
If possible, the same nurse will be with you on the day of your procedure. She will explain the procedure again, have you sign a consent form, give support and provide discharge instructions. The nurse will also call you after the procedure to check on you and answer any questions.
If a biopsy is done and tissue or fluid is sent to the lab, a pathology report will be sent to your physician in approximately 48 to 72 work day hours. Your physician will give the results of that report to you.
