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 ...

Stereotactic Large Core Needle Biopsy for All Nonpalpable Breast Lesions? [PDF]
Stereotactic large-core needle biopsy (SLCNB) is a minimally invasive method for histological diagnosis of nonpalpable breast disease. We studied differences in cancer prevalence between a group of women referred through the national screening program and a non-screening group, and assessed whether the validity of SLCNB differed between these groups.A ...

CT-Guided Percutaneous Transthoracic Needle Biopsies Using 10G Large-Core Needles: Initial Experience [PDF]
Using large-core biopsy needles in CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsies (PTNB) may be advantageous in terms of larger specimens, which facilitate more extensive histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular examination of tumor tissue.
