Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is vacuum-assisted biopsy a viable alternative to surgical biopsy in the investigation of breast lesions of uncertain malignant potential?
Answer: The increase in VAB use over time suggests that the procedure is well tolerated. The results demonstrate a VAB sensitivity of 92% for carcinoma diagnosis. In 96% of cases (150 of 156), VAB results were conclusive enough to avoid a subsequent SBx. This data suggests that VAB may be a preferable alternative to surgical biopsy for many B3 lesions.
Output (English): yes
