Abstract
Background:
Vacuum biopsy device (mammotome) was primary developed for invasive diagnosis of the mammary gland.
Methods And Results:
In Radiological department of Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute we use the mammotome not only for breast tissue sampling.
Conclusions:
The device is used also for extraction of tumor specimens in advanced epithelial, mesenchymal or the other histological type of tumors for further chemoresistance testing.
