Jennifer MacDonald asks >>Does anyone have the gauge of needle used for
breast core biopsies and for prostate biopsies?<<

An 18 gauge needle is standard for transrectal prostate biopsies. Breast
stereotactic needle biopsy needles are considerably larger, but you'll need
to inquire what your local people are using.
