At the beginning, the only possibility of obtaining an anatomopathological diagnosis of a breast lesion was harpoon-guided surgical biopsy. This modality has been gradually replaced by less invasive modalities, such as core-needle biopsy (CNB) and vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB). VAB has a number of advantages with respect to CNB and surgical biopsy, since by obtaining larger-caliber samples it achieves a greater percentage of correct diagnoses in a minimally invasive way.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The goal of this paper is to conduct an economic study of the three types of breast biopsy that exist and identify which is the most cost-effective option.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0070">Material and methods</span><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This is an observational, retrospective, analytical study on the 997 breast biopsies of 804 lesions in 761 patients, performed in our unit between January 1st, 2011 and December 31st, 2014, without excluding any lesion.

The second group included biopsies conducted using 14-gauge-10-centimeter long thick needles with the BARD MONOPTY automatic gun (Bard, Crawley, United Kingdom).

Therefore in our study of cost-effectiveness, the mean ratio of harpoon biopsies was 17.80, that of VAB was 6.79 and that of CNB was 2.45, while if microcalcifications or nodules are calculated separately the relation of mean ratios stays the same; thus in our study the CNB is the most cost-effective modality and despite the fact that CNB is the modality that arrives to the least correct diagnoses of all (91.81 per cent), it is the one that arrives at each diagnosis at a better price making it the most cost-effective option of all.</p><p id="par0225" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">But economic studies are just one of the pillars upon which we should base our decisions on the evaluation of new technologies. There are other factors such as preferences, the patients’ expectations and medical-legal and ethical considerations that help us make decisions when it comes to using these modalities. Thus, when biopsying microcalcifications through CNB we only arrive at correct diagnoses in half the cases. If we take into account that what we are trying to do is rule out the presence of breast cancer, having a diagnostic modality that produces 50 per cent of errors does not seem acceptable. These results, therefore, advice against biopsying microcalcifications through CNB and it is preferred to conduct biopsy of such microcalcifications through VAB or harpoon biopsies.</p><p id="par0230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">When comparing VAB and harpoon biopsies from the economic point of view, we can see that the VAB with 94.03 per cent of correct diagnoses and a total cost of €638.90 has a mean ratio of 6.79 while harpoon biopsies with 100 per cent accuracy and total costs of €1780.01 have a mean ratio of 17.80, so the VAB is more cost-effective than harpoon biopsies since it has a lower mean ratio. This is why the VAB is the most cost-effective option when compared to harpoon biopsies and it is the modality that should be used from the economic point of view when it comes to microcalcifications.

Among other things due to the fact that the public health system in most European countries is different from that of the United States, Gruber et al. conducted their economic study not only from the perspective of the hospital (only direct costs), but also from the socioeconomic perspective (direct and indirect costs), and also from both perspectives they were able to prove that the use of VAB instead of harpoon biopsies is more cost-effective and could eventually save over 5 million euros a year in a country the size of Austria with 8.5 million inhabitants.</p><p id="par0260" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Gruber et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> only had 29 per cent of patients who avoided surgery after undergoing the VAB, a very similar figure to that of our study (25.96 per cent). This 29 per cent was the percentage of benign lesions that matched the mammographic findings, since unlike Liberman et al.,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18,20</span></a> Gruber considers, like we did in our study, that only benign lesions with good radiopathological correlation avoid surgery after VAB. Consequently, savings in costs will be proportional to the number of benign lesions biopsied with good radiopathological correlation, and if we consider the fact that thanks to breast cancer screening programs the number of biopsies performed will increase and that many of them will prove to be benign, we believe that though the savings we got from each biopsy is modest, it might mean large savings for the public health system if all of them are counted as a whole.</p><p id="par0265" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Notwithstanding, our study has some limitations. It is a retrospective study with all the limitations it entails, performed in a single institution instead of being a multicenter study. There is a patient-selection bias, since based on the type of lesion and the preferences of the radiologist one type biopsy or another was conducted, and also the different groups of biopsies are not entirely independent from one another. There are patients who initially underwent a CNB or a VAB and then a VAB or a harpoon biopsy, though each and every single one of these biopsies was counted independently from the others within its group.</p><p id="par0270" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This is why the CNB would be presented as the dominant option among the three breast biopsy modalities for breast lesions in general, but due to the low percentage of correct diagnoses that it arrives at in the case of microcalcifications (50 per cent), the VAB would be the modality that is indicated to biopsy microcalcifications due to its high percentage of correct diagnoses (96.77 per cent) and the fact that it is the most cost-effective option compared to harpoon-guided biopsies, which in turn would be the other modality indicated to biopsy microcalcifications.</p></span><span id="sec0070" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0130">Ethical
