Diagnostic accuracy of core needle biopsy of breast lesions

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...

Diagnostic accuracy of vacuum-assisted stereotactic core needle biopsy for breast lesions.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the vacuum-assisted stereotactic core needle biopsy (CNB) for breast lesions. MATERIAL AND METHOD Sixty-four lesions that had undergone vacuum-assisted stereotactic CNB between January 2003 and December 2005 in Ramathibodi Breast diagnostic center were included in this study. Pathologic results of CNB were reviewed and correlated with pathologi...

Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography-guided core needle biopsy for breast lesions.

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography (US)-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) for breast lesions. METHODS We performed US-guided CNB of 733 lesions in 674 women from January 2003 to December 2005. Surgical excision was performed on 331 lesions. We compared the histopathologic findings of the CNB specimens with those of surgical specimens or with patie...

[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...
