Image-guided core-needle biopsy in patients with suspected or recurrent lymphomas

Image-guided core-needle biopsy in patients with suspected or recurrent lymphomas.

BACKGROUND It is now commonly admitted that the diagnosis of recurrence of lymphoma can be assessed by image-guided needle biopsy (IGNB). However, the means of obtaining tissue for the original diagnosis of lymphoma is often surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of IGNB at the time of diagnosis and at the time of recurrence or progression. METHODS The authors performed 21...

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...

Risk of Needle-track Seeding After Diagnostic Image-guided Core Needle Biopsy in Breast Cancer

OBJECTIVE Image-guided core needle biopsy (IGCNB) is an accepted technique for sampling nonpalpable mammographically detected suspicious breast lesions. However, the concern for needle-track seeding in malignant lesions remains. An alternative to IGCNB is needle-localization breast biopsy (NLBB). No study has been done to compare the local recurrence rate of breast cancer after IGCNB versus NLB...

Image guided versus palpation guided core needle biopsy of palpable breast masses: a prospective study

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Biopsy of palpable breast masses can be performed manually by palpation guidance or under imaging guidance. Based on retrospective studies, image guided biopsy is considered more accurate than palpation guided breast biopsy; however, these techniques have not been compared prospectively. We conducted this prospective study to verify the superiority and determine the size...
