Breast core needle biopsy: issues and controversies

Concordance Rate between Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy and Core Needle Biopsy in Breast Lesions

Background and Objectives:Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is one of the methods of breast biopsy which is fast, easy and cost effective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concordance rate between pathologic results of sonography or stereotaxy guided FNAB and guided core needle biopsy (CNB) in the evaluation of breast le...

Clinical importance of histologic grading of lobular carcinoma in situ in breast core needle biopsy specimens: current issues and controversies.

Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is considered a risk factor for development of invasive carcinoma (IC). Many variants of LCIS have been described based on pathologic features such as nuclear grade, pleomorphism, and necrosis, but little is known about the biology of these variants. The proposed 3-tier grading system for LCIS has not been validated or endorsed across laboratories. We found sign...

Stereotactic and ultrasound core needle breast biopsy performed by surgeons.

BACKGROUND The authors evaluated outcomes and treatment costs of stereotactic core needle biopsy (SCNB) and ultrasound core needle biopsy (UCNB), and needle localization biopsy (NLB) in managing patients with mammographic abnormalities presenting to the surgeon. METHODS Data for all patients with mammographic lesions who underwent SCNB or UCNB since their introduction at this institution were...
