results in the first series, cellularity and blood levels were significantly lower in capillary-fnb compared with cfnb (p < 0.001 and p = 0.011, respectively). there was no significant difference between cfnb and vacfnb in cellularity and blood (p = 0.15 and p = 0.1, respectively). in the second series, cellularity was significantly higher in cfnb compared with vacfnb (p < 0.001) with no signif...

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...

background: core needle biopsy (cnb) with histological findings is regarded as one of the most important diagnostic measures that make preoperative assessment and planning for appropriate treatment possible. the aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of core biopsy results in our patients with benign and malignant breast lumps, especially for borderline breast lesion...

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...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of core needle biopsy as a diagnostic tool for palpable breast lumps in developing countries as compared to fine needle aspiration cytology. MATERIAL AND METHOD All patients attending the surgery outpatient department with palpable breast lumps were subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology and core needle biopsy by the same o...

BACKGROUND Core needle biopsy is a relatively new technique used to diagnose salivary gland lesions, and its role in comparison with fine needle aspiration cytology needs to be refined. METHODS We compared the results of 228 ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and 371 fine needle aspiration procedures performed on major salivary gland tumors with their postoperative histological diagnoses. ...
