This is a small piece of stainless steel or titanium put into the breast after a biopsy. The patient can't feel this. This marker helps to monitor changes in the breast later in future mammograms.

The marker is a small piece of stainless steel or titanium implanted in the breast following a biopsy. The patient does not feel it. It helps to monitor changes in breast tissue at the biopsy site during future mammograms.

It means that you probably had a biopsy in the past. A Mammotome Breast Marker is a tiny piece of stainless steel, titanium or collagen that marks the area where a previous biopsy has been done and to help identify changes in the breast when future mammograms are performed. The patient can not feel this breast marker.

This marker is related to breast cancer treatments. A small piece of metal is inserted into the site of a biopsy in order to monitor the treatment's effectiveness.
