Adjunctive imprint cytology of core needle biopsy specimens improved diagnostic accuracy for breast cancer

OBJECTIVE Recently, therapies targeting the biological characteristics of individual cancers according to markers indicating underlying molecular biological mechanisms have become available. Core needle biopsy (CNB) is widely used, not only to diagnose, but also to determine therapeutic strategies, in patients with breast cancer. Although the diagnostic accuracy of CNB is acceptably high, false...

accuracy of estrogen and progesterone receptor assessment in core needle biopsy specimens of breast cancer

objectives we undertook this study to compare the results of hormone receptor assessment in cnb and surgical samples on our patients. patients and methods hormone receptor status was determined in cnb and surgical samples in breast cancer patients whose cnb and operation had been performed in this institute from 2009 to 2011 and had not undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy. results about 350 pati...

[Diagnostic accuracy of the fine needle aspiration cytology and core needle biopsy as a diagnostic method for breast lesions].

PURPOSE to determine the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and of core-needle biopsy (CNB) in diagnosing breast lumps and breast cancer. METHODS this was a cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study based on the review of medical records. FNAB and CNB were carried out sequentially according to the routine of the Mastology Service. Both percutaneous procedures were app...

Touch imprint cytology of core needle biopsy specimens for the breast and quick stain procedure for immediate diagnosis.

AIM To investigate the validity and reproducibility of touch imprint cytology (TIC) of core needle biopsies (CNBs) in the assessment of conspicuous breast findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and fifty-eight conspicuous breast findings were assessed by CNB during a two-year period in this prospective study. TIC of the CNBs was used for cytological analysis. The performance of this tech...
