I have worked in mammography for over 15 years. If you have a suspicious area in your breast, you must have a biopsy. It can mean such a difference in your life, and your quality of life. Biopsies will not spread breast cancer. Read below, and check out the sources.
"With some types of tumors, such as tumors of the ovary or pancreas, it is possible for a needle to carry a malignant cell to another area. But this is not a concern in breast cancer. Breast cancer cells do not seem to be able to live independently unless they are biochemically ready to do so. This means that a core biopsy - or any other type of
biopsy procedure - will not spread the cancer to other areas."

Biopsies and/or air cannot cause breast cancer to spread. The fear of biopsies comes from the concern that sticking a needle into a breast tumor to get a sample, or using a scalpel to remove the whole tumor, can then move some of those cells to a different place in the breast (by the cells sticking to the needle or by the cells dropping from the tumor into other places). Studies have not found this to be true for breast cancer biopsies. Some people believe that exposing the cancer to air during surgery or biopsy can cause the cancer to spread -- this too, is not true.
