Accuracy of Core Needle Biopsy for Musculoskeletal Tumours
Purpose. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of core needle biopsy in determining musculoskeletal tumours in our hospital. Methods. Records of 134 patients who underwent core needle biopsy followed by definitive surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Results of the core needle biopsy were compared with those of the final histology.

Impact of touch preparations on core needle biopsies [PDF]
BACKGROUNDTouch preparations (TPs) can be performed for on‐site adequacy assessment of core needle biopsies (CNBs). Although TPs can play a role in decreasing the number of nondiagnostic core biopsies, the impact of TPs on CNB has not been extensively evaluated.METHODSComputerized tomography–guided CNBs performed in a tertiary cancer center were ...

Comparison of endoscopic ultrasound guided 22-gauge core needle with standard 25-gauge fine-needle aspiration for diagnosing solid pancreatic lesions [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is the standard modality for diagnosing pancreatic masses. We compared the diagnostic yield of a new EUS-guided 22-gauge core needle biopsy to a standard 25-gauge ...

Comparison of Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration and Core Needle Biopsy [PDF]
We compared the adequacy and accuracy of fineneedle aspiration (FNA) with core needle aspiration in a total of 377 patients who underwent both tests. The adequacy rate for core needle biopsy (82.2%) was significantly higher than that of FNA (70.3%; P < .001), but the combined adequacy was significantly higher than that for either test alone (88.9%; P <
