Large-core needle biopsy versus fine-needle aspiration biopsy in solid breast lesions: comparison of costs and diagnostic value

Acta Radiologica, 2008
Background: In the current climate of budget constraints and personnel shortages, hospitals are required to demonstrate ever-greater cost effectiveness. In the diagnosis of breast lesions, it is useful to compare the costs and benefits of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and core-needle biopsy (CNB).

Cost comparison between stereotactic large-core-needle biopsy versus surgical excision biopsy in The Netherlands

European Journal of Cancer, 2001
Yearly, approximately 7200 Dutch women with non-palpable breast lesions are referred for a diagnostic surgical excision biopsy. Recently, less invasive alternatives such as stereotactic large-core-needle biopsy have emerged. The aim of this study was to compare the costs of surgical excision biopsy and large-core-needle biopsy.

The Use of Carbon Marking after Stereotactic Large-Core-Needle Breast Biopsy

Radiology, 2001
To investigate the use of activated charcoal to mark the biopsy site and needle track after large-core-needle breast biopsy.Three hundred seventy-six consecutive patients (with 383 lesions) were referred for stereotactic breast biopsy. Two hundred forty-seven lesions were carbon marked when the need for surgery was likely.

Fibrous Nodules Found at Large-Core Needle Biopsy of the Breast: Imaging Features

Radiology, 1999
To describe the imaging and histologic features of large-core needle biopsy (LCNB) specimens of fibrous nodules.Of 853 breast masses in which LCNB was performed, 38 (4%) revealed histologic findings of fibrous nodules. Repeat biopsy was performed in 16 lesions (surgical excision, 13 lesions; repeat LCNB, three lesions).

Fourteen‐gauge ultrasonographically guided large‐core needle biopsy of breast masses.

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2001
Large‐core needle biopsy of the breast can be performed with stereotactic or ultrasonographic guidance. However, ultrasonographically guided large‐core needle biopsy has notable advantages, including the absence of ionizing radiation, increased patient comfort, and greater cost‐effectiveness.

Implementation of image‐guided large‐core needle biopsy of the breast on a limited budget

Australasian Radiology, 1998
SUMMARYImage‐guided large‐core needle biopsy (LCNB) of the breast is becoming widely accepted as an accurate, minimally invasive and economical way to obtain a tissue diagnosis of breast lesions. However, much of this work has been done with expensive dedicated equipment, often favouring stereotaxic guidance.

The utility of ultrasonographically guided large‐core needle biopsy: results from 500 consecutive breast biopsies.

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2001
Five hundred ultrasonographically guided large‐core needle breast biopsies of solid masses were performed in 446 women. Histopathologic results were correlated with imaging findings. Ultrasonographically guided large‐core needle biopsy resulted in diagnosis of malignancy (n = 124) or severe atypical ductal hyperplasia (n = 4) in 128 lesions (26%).

Nonpalpable breast lesions: correlation of stereotaxic large-core needle biopsy and surgical biopsy results.

Radiology, 1993
One hundred women, each with a single nonpalpable breast lesion evident at mammography, underwent computer-guided sterotaxic 14-gauge needle biopsy followed by hook-wire localization and open surgical biopsy. Lesions were not less than 5 mm in diameter. Core biopsy yielded essentially correct findings in 96 cases and in 35 of 36 cancers.

Percutaneous large core needle biopsy versus surgical biopsy in the diagnosis of breast lesions.

International surgery, 1997
To value LCNB accuracy in the determination of morphobiological parameters and as an alternative to the open SB diagnostic procedure of breast lesions.University Hospital, Italy.From May 1992 to February 1995 196 biopsies have been performed. The diameter of the neoplasms examined varied from 0.6 to 7 cm with an average of 1.9 cm.The accuracy of the ...

Mammographic findings after stereotaxic biopsy of the breast performed with large-core needles.

Radiology, 1994
To evaluate changes seen on mammograms obtained after large-core stereotaxic biopsy of the breast.Twenty-seven patients underwent stereotaxic breast biopsy performed with large-core, 14-gauge needles. At least five core samples were obtained from each lesion.
