Design of a wasp-inspired biopsy needle capable of self-propulsion and friction-based tissue transport. [PDF]
Percutaneous pancreatic core biopsy is conclusive but challenging due to large-diameter needles, while smaller-diameter needles used in aspiration methods suffer from buckling and clogging.

Sarcomas of the extremities and the pelvis: comparing local recurrence after incisional and after core-needle biopsy [PDF]
BACKGROUND The degree of contamination of healthy tissue with tumor cells during a biopsy in bone or soft tissue sarcomas is clearly dependant on the type of biopsy.

Diagnostic accuracy of large-core needle biopsy for nonpalpable breast disease: a meta-analysis [PDF]
For the evaluation of non-palpable lesions of the breast, image-guided large-core needle biopsies are increasingly replacing needle-localized open breast biopsies.

Rapid 3D Reconstruction Guided Embolization for Catastrophic Bleeding Following Vacuum Assisted Breast Biopsy; A Case Report and Review of the Literature [PDF]
The most clinically significant complication associated with stereotactic core needle biopsy of the breast is hematoma formation, which only occurs in less than 1% of biopsies and may require treatment.

Cost-effectiveness of stereotactic large-core needle biopsy for nonpalpable breast lesions compared to open-breast biopsy [PDF]
This paper demonstrates that the introduction of large-core needle biopsy (LCNB) replacing needle-localised breast biopsy (NLBB) for nonpalpable (screen-detected) breast lesions could result in substantial cost savings at the expense of a possible slight

Development and evaluation of a prediction model for underestimated invasive breast cancer in women with ductal carcinoma in situ at stereotactic large core needle biopsy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:We aimed to develop a multivariable model for prediction of underestimated invasiveness in women with ductal carcinoma in situ at stereotactic large core needle biopsy, that can be used to select patients for sentinel node biopsy at primary ...
