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: The study compared the efficacy of EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB in abdominal lymph node sampling, finding that EUS-FNB had higher diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity compared to EUS-FNA. Both modalities had no adverse events.

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: 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: A randomized study comparing core needle biopsy and fine needle aspiration for the diagnosis of high-risk cervical lymph nodes found that core needle biopsy was more accurate and sensitive in diagnosis, and it was feasible and safe.

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: A study on 80 patients found no significant difference between core needle biopsy histology and fine needle aspiration cytology in diagnosing cervical lymphadenopathy, but the former had a higher complication rate.

Summary: This article describes modern major and minor salivary gland biopsy techniques and evaluates the indications and complications of other salivary gland biopsy techniques. A comparison was made between ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy and ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy in the oncological field, and intra-operative frozen sections were presented as an additional intraoperative diagnostic method.

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: 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 analyzed the diagnostic performance of thyroglobulin in fine-needle aspiration (FNA-Tg) in suspicious lateral cervical lymph nodes (CLNs) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), determined the optimal cutoff value, and discussed factors that may affect the diagnostic value of FNA-Tg. The results showed that FNA-Tg measurement is sensitive enough for diagnosing lateral CLN metastases from PTC, but its diagnostic value is compromised by various factors.

Summary: In children with peripheral lymphadenopathy, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is commonly used for diagnosis. FNAB can provide a diagnosis in most cases, especially in high tuberculosis burden areas. However, additional special investigations may be needed to assist in diagnosis for some cases.
