Breast Cancer: Pathology, Cytology, and Core Needle Biopsy Methods for Diagnosis

چکیده
Successful cancer treatment relies on a combination of clinical examinations, imaging studies, and pathologic evaluations. Pathologic diagnosis should not be bypassed even when health care resources are very limited and clinical/radiologic fi ndings are very suggestive of breast cancer. A timely and accurate pathologic diagnosis can be achieved by the use of appropriate tissue sampling techniques, optimal tissue processing, and competent interpretation of pathologic fi ndings. Accurate preoperative pathologic diagnosis con fi rms the malignant nature of the lesion and documents baseline expression of prognostic and predictive biomarkers, thus enabling clinicians to make optimal therapeutic strategies such as planning the extent of the surgery. Methods of obtaining tissue samples and the cytohistological techniques and histopathological features of the spectrum of breast cancer pathology are discussed in detail.

The Core Needle and Surgical Biopsy Concordance to Detect Estrogen, Progesterone, and Her-2 Receptors in Breast Cancer: A Comparative Study
Background &Objectives;: Evaluation of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) Her-2 on core needle biopsies (CNBs) is increasingly in use to diagnosis early breast cancer, but its concordance with surgical excision (SE) is not well documented. Methods: The study ...

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...
متن کاملDiagnosis of breast lesions: fine-needle aspiration cytology or core needle biopsy? A review.
Diagnosis of breast lesions is routinely performed by the triple assessment of a specialised surgeon, radiologist and pathologist. In this setting, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core needle biopsy (CNB) are the current methods of choice for pathological diagnosis, both with their specific advantages and limitations. Evidence-based literature discussing which of both modalities is p...
متن کاملAn overview of assessment of prognostic and predictive factors in breast cancer needle core biopsy specimens.
Needle core biopsy (NCB), as part of triple assessment for preoperative evaluation and diagnosis of breast cancer, is now considered as an established, highly accurate method for diagnosing breast cancer that has replaced either fine needle aspiration cytology or excisional biopsy as the initial diagnostic biopsy procedures in many institutions. In addition to its primary role in establishing a...
