Surg Clin North Am. 2003 Aug;83(4):771-88. doi: 10.1016/S0039-6109(03)00070-7.

Abstract

As surgeons become increasingly more comfortable in interpreting and using US to determine benignancy and malignancy of breast lesions, use of US-guided needle biopsy. US-guided lumpectomy, percutaneous excision of benign masses, and ablation of cancers will become routine.
