Kaj je tankoigelna biopsija?
The primary objective of fine needle biopsy is to guide staging diagnosis and preoperative planning.
The accuracy of fine needle biopsy depends on various parameters, including the type and location of the tumor and the degree of inflammation present. Imaging diagnostic methods such as ultrasound or CT can assist in precisely guiding the sampling procedure, increasing the likelihood of obtaining a diagnostic sample.
Fine needle biopsy aims to differentiate between inflammatory and neoplastic processes and, in the case of a tumor, to determine whether the cancer is malignant or benign. Very often, fine needle biopsy, commonly considered a preliminary orientation diagnostic method, is followed by surgical biopsy of the lesion and histopathological analysis of the sample.
