The value of ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and frozen section in breast cancer diagnosis

Objective To explore the diagnosis value of ultrasound-guided COre needle biopsy(CNB)and frozen sectionin breast cancer.Methods There were 41 cases of breast tumor which were suspicious with ultrasonography,and using Bard automatic biopsy device was applied for percutaneous puncture by ultrasound-guided in breast neoplasms.Tissue samples were harvested for frozen soetion pathologic examination.compared with 42 clinical cases of the turnour which suspicious with ultrasonography were excised in operation room(B group)during the same time.Results The outcome of frozen sections were finished in 30～40 miutes.Thirty-nine cases were diagnosed to be malignant,36 cases were infiltrated ductal carcino and 3cases were infiltrated lobular carcinoma,two cases were severely non-type hyperplasia the sensitivity of sonographically guided CNB for the diagnosis of breast cancer was 95.1%.one operation was finished in 60 to 120 minutes,the average is 68.19±12.41 minutes.In group B,sensitivity of diagnosis of breast cancer was 97.6%(P＜0.05).One operation was finished in 120 to 200 minutes,the average was127.88±11.50 minutes(P＜0.05).Conclusion It can achieved higHy diagnostic rate,and have benefit of setting down the operations program and the operating time was curtailed when breast cancer was utrasound-guided by CNB and examinede with frozen section.
