Ultrasound (US) and US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) were performed in 91 nonpalpable neck nodes of 70 patients, 98% of which had known malignancy. Various sonographic findings were evaluated for predicting malignancy. The accuracy of US-guided FNA for detecting malignancy was 88%, with
cytology in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer: comparative study of 213 operated patients Between 1982 and 1984, fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology ( A B C ) was performed in 1100 patients (aged 14-80, 993 women), with nodular goitre, who had either a solitary cold nodule or dominant hypofiinction
The use of ultrasound combined with ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (UGFAB) of supraclavicular lymph nodes in the pretreatment staging of 37 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is described. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest and the
## BACKGROUND. The authors attempted to determine the utility of percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) compared with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in the diagnosis of peripheral lung carcinoma. ## METHODS. A retrospective review was undertaken of 156 computed tomography (CT)-guided PCNBs and FN
## Background: Judicious utilization of fine-needle aspiration cytology (fnac) and 14-gauge core needle biopsy (cb) theoretically should result in greater accuracy in breast carcinoma diagnosis and fewer unnecessary open surgical biopsies (osbs), thus lowering health care costs. ## Methods: In 19
