Comparison of Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration and Core Needle Biopsy

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...

Combination of aspiration and non-aspiration fine needle biopsy for cytological diagnosis of thyroid nodules

Background: Good cytological sample is very important for the cytological diagnosis of thyroid nodules. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of prepared samples by the combination of aspiration and non- aspiration fine needle biopsy. Methods: In this descriptive – analytical study, sampling was done simultaneously for each patient in fine needle aspiration and non-aspiration biops...

Needle Core Biopsy Should Replace Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Breast Lesions Diagnosis

Fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules.

BACKGROUND Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is a routine diagnostic technique for evaluating thyroid nodules. Many reports in adults consider that FNA is superior to thyroid ultrasonography (USG) and radionuclide scanning (RS). Only five studies have been published on FNA of childhood thyroid nodules. AIMS To investigate the reliability of FNA in the evaluation and management of thyroid no...

Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid.

Fine-needle thyroid aspiration biopsy has a 20-year history in Scandinavia but has seen little use in North America owing to concern about the dissemination of malignant disease and the more limited use of aspiration cytology in general. We have reviewed our experience with this method in 103 cases, and on the basis of our work and the accumulated evidence of others, believe that the procedure ...
