intact ® Breast Biopsy System

When detected early, breast cancer can be curable. If your mammogram is abnormal, your doctor may recommend a breast biopsy to diagnose the abnormality.

intact is a minimally invasive breast biopsy technique that is more comfortable and actually more accurate than conventional breast biopsy methods. It provides a good sample for pathological study with a small incision.

intact makes it possible to more accurately diagnose an abnormality with the initial biopsy. Usually, it spares the patient additional invasive surgical procedures.

General Surgeon Joseph Ronaghan, M.D. provides intact biopsy services at Hunt Regional Medical Center at Greenville.

The system was developed by Neothermia Corporation, a leader in the development of minimally invasive cancer diagnosis techniques.

Neothermia President and CEO Thomas M. Tully says, "We are delighted that the medical and patient community in Hunt County now has access to the benefits of the intact breast biopsy system, thanks to Dr. Ronaghan."

Your doctor's office will schedule your intact biopsy appointment.
