Ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy of breast lesions

OBJECTIVE: To review the role of ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy (CNB) in the management of breast lesions. METHODS: Review of the most relevant literature on this topic. RESULTS: This technique shows a high sensitivity value of about 97.5% and it offers many advantages over other imaging techniques to guide a biopsy: non-ionising radiation, low cost, full control of the needle in real t...

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