Abstract:
Percutaneous biopsy techniques play an important role in the diagnosis and management of patients with known or suspected malignancies. With refinements in biopsy techniques and the use of sophisticated guiding modalities, tissue can be reliably obtained for either cytologic or histologic evaluation. These procedures are safer and more cost effective than the surgical option of open biopsy.
