INTRODUCTION: Core needle biopsy (CNB) has progressively replaced fine needle
aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of breast lesions. Less information is available …

Background The aims of this study were to determine the accuracy of concurrent core
needle biopsy (CNB) and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for breast lesions and to …

Purpose This study assessed the outcomes of ultrasound (US)-guided core needle biopsies
(CNBs) of breast lesions with at least 2 years of follow-up to determine the false-negative …

Ultrasound-guided, large-core needle biopsy (US-LCNB) of suspicious breast lesions is
acknowledged as less invasive and less expensive and less time consuming than surgical …

Methods We performed US-guided CNB of 733 lesions in 674 women from January 2003 to
December 2005. Surgical excision was performed on 331 lesions. We compared the …

Ultrasonographically (US) guided core needle biopsy is currently recognized as a reliable
alternative to surgical biopsy for the histopathologic diagnosis of breast lesions. However …

Background Limited data are available to evaluate the accuracy of frozen section analysis
and ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the breast. Methods In a retrospective analysis …

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 …

Objectives To determine the false-negative rate and to evaluate the clinical, radiologic or
histologic features of false-negative results at ultrasound (US)-guided 14-gauge core needle …

To find out whether ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and ultrasound and
stereotactic-guided large core needle biopsy (LCNB) are reliable alternatives to needle …
