Summary: Endosonography-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA)-associated metachronous gastric seeding metastases (GSM) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be preventable and curable, requiring follow-up and multimodal management.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of needle bevel geometry and length on resonance characteristics and deflection magnitude, finding differences in deflection-to-power ratio among needles with different bevel geometries in air and water. The study emphasizes the importance of the relationship between bevel geometry flexural stiffness and insertion media, providing insights for controlling post-puncture cutting action.

Summary: This study investigated the prognosis and application criteria of core needle biopsy (CNB) and fine needle aspiration (FNA) in breast cancer diagnosis. The results showed that patients diagnosed using FNA had significantly worse survival rates than those diagnosed using CNB. Under specific conditions, FNA showed particularly poor survival rates.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical features and prognosis of iatrogenic tumor cell seeding in patients with breast cancer who underwent preoperative core needle biopsy or vacuum-assisted biopsy. The results indicated that seeding was more likely to occur in estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative carcinomas with less aggressive features, and it may remain subclinical if adequate adjuvant treatments are administered.

Summary: This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (US-FNA) and core needle biopsy (US-CNB) for detecting axillary lymph nodes in women with breast cancer. The results indicate that both US-FNA and US-CNB have high accuracy for suspicious axillary lymph nodes.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of combined fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle biopsy (CNB). The results showed that regardless of nodule size, combined FNA/CNB tended to yield lower proportions of inconclusive results than CNB or FNA alone and exhibited higher performance in diagnosing malignancy. The combined FNA/CNB technique may be a more valuable diagnostic method for nodules ???1.5 cm and nodules with a risk of malignancy than CNB and FNA alone.

Summary: This report describes a potential case of seeding after fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of a rib osteosarcoma in a dog. The authors believe that the utility of cytological diagnosis of bone tumors outweighs the risk of seeding and should continue to be used as a routine diagnostic test.

Summary: The poor prognosis of biliary tract cancer is due to the challenges in detecting cancer lesions and the lack of standard screening methods. Genomic analysis has shown promise in improving the accuracy of diagnosis for biliary tract cancer, and future diagnosis and treatment should be based on molecular and genetic analysis.

Summary: FNA and CNB are commonly used approaches for the diagnosis of suspected neoplastic parotid gland lesions. The study found that CNB has excellent diagnostic ability, sensitivity, and specificity compared to FNA, although it requires experienced staff and good-quality equipment. The complication rates for both techniques are low, with CNB being considered the preferred technique for detecting nodules in the parotid glands.

Summary: Ultrasound-guided CNB is more effective than rFNA for repeat biopsy of thyroid nodules with inconclusive initial FNA results, especially for patients with categories I and III, but showed no significant differences for category IV nodules.

Summary: This study compared core needle biopsy (CNB) and repeat fine-needle aspiration (rFNA) in reducing the rates of potential diagnostic surgery and unnecessary surgery for nodules initially diagnosed as atypia/follicular lesions of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS). CNB was found to be superior to rFNA in reducing the rates of diagnostic surgery and unnecessary surgery.

Summary: The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core needle biopsy (CNB) in melanoma patients with suspected metastasis was investigated in this study. The results showed no significant differences in diagnostic accuracy between FNAC and CNB in different clinical scenarios. However, there were significantly fewer nondiagnostic biopsies when using CNB.

Summary: Endoscopic ultrasound tissue acquisition, through EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB, is commonly used for pancreatic mass lesions, subepithelial lesions, and lymph node biopsy. While both methods are safe and offer high diagnostic value, there are potential limitations with EUS-FNA related to cytological aspirations. Comparative trials between EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB for pancreatic mass lesions have shown conflicting results, with the need for further large-scale studies for other types of lesions.

Summary: This study investigated the diagnostic efficacy of CT-guided transthoracic lung core needle biopsy combined with aspiration biopsy and the clinical value of routine microbial detection. The results showed that the combination of core needle biopsy and aspiration biopsy significantly improved the diagnostic rate of benign and malignant lesions. Additionally, aspiration biopsy identified pulmonary malignant lesions complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis and other infections. Overall, the diagnostic ability of CT-guided lung biopsy combined with routine microbial detection was significantly improved in the diagnosis of pulmonary infectious diseases.
