Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate ultrasound-guided or freehand percutaneous core needle biopsy in histopathological assessment of primary breast cancer lesions and its utility in primary breast cancer treatment.
METHODSRetrospectively analysis of the clinical data of 697 primary breast cancer examined by mean of core needle biopsy.
RESULTSThe diagnostic accuracy, false negative rate and insufficiency rate was 90.5%, 8.9% and 0.6%, respectively. Diagnostic accuracy was significantly higher in ultrasound guiding comparing to palpable guiding (92.7% vs. 88.2%, P < 0.05). There was a nonsignificant trend toward increased false negative rate in palpable guiding (10.9% vs. 7.1%, P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONPercutaneous core needle biopsy is reliable in histopathological assessment of primary breast cancer lesions. Ultrasound guiding was superior to palpable guiding in term of diagnostic accuracy in this study.
