Ultrasound-enhanced fine-needle aspiration biopsy improves yield of solid benign parotid gland tumor tissue: a pilot study [PDF]
Objectives Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and core-needle biopsy (CNB) are common methods to evaluate the pathology of an abnormal tissue mass. However, both methods have their limitations, e.g., FNAB samples often remain inadequate, and CNB is ...

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. In this study, the diagnostic accuracy of this minimally invasive technique was evaluated by reviewing the available literature.

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 ...
