Implication

Randomized trial assesses diagnostic accuracy of biopsies in breast lesions, suggesting effective evaluation methods.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sonographically guided 14-gauge core-needle biopsy for breast lesions.
  • Performed 715 sonographically guided 14-gauge core-needle biopsies in 652 patients.
  • Correlated histopathologic results with imaging findings and recommended repeat biopsy for discrepancies.
  • Conducted long-term follow-up for benign lesion findings.
  • Detected malignancy in 311 lesions (43%) through core-needle biopsy.
  • 9 malignancies were confirmed among 31 lesions with indeterminate findings who underwent additional biopsy.
  • Achieved a 3.7% false-negative rate and 96.3% sensitivity for breast cancer diagnosis.
