pending results for a breast biopsy

[Lynn0326]

Is pending results for a breast biopsy a good sign?


This discussion is related to how long to get results of biopsy.

'Pending' just means 'in the process', the time while radiologists are interpreting your tests, or biopsy. The pending state is usually around a week long and then you are told the results. best, katrin

I'm not sure what you mean by your question .... the results of a breast biopsy is the "answer" and the only "answer" as to what the exact problem within the breast tissue. The only thing I can think of is that you may have been given a preliminary diagnosis which will either be confirmed or denied when the Pathologic studies are complete. As a rule these results take from 4 to 7 days to reach the desk of your prescribing Physician.    Regards ....
