Percutaneous Core Needle Biopsy

In this era of COVID-19, suspected breast cancer patients experience delay in diagnosis due to the fear of contracting the virus and reduction of non-COVID-19 health services. Furthermore, it may lead to potential increase in the incidence of advanced cancers in the future. Ultrasound-guided (US-guided) percutaneous core needle biopsy (CNB) is a great option for the diagnosis of cancer but it is poorly utilized. This study aimed to prove that the US-guided CNBis accurate when performed in a local setting and a potential solution for diagnosing breast cancer patients in this pandemic. In addition, it was a single health center cross-sectional study, and the participants were all breast cancer patients that had US-guided CNB from 2013-2019. The pathology results from US-guided CNB were compared to specimens from post-CNB surgeries. The data were collected from medical records and the immunohistochemistry (IHC) examinations were carried out for malignancy. There were 163 patients who were included in this study, 86 had malignancies and 77 had benign tumor reported in their CNB results. The US-guided CNB had 100% sensitivity and specificity compared to surgery. With its lower cost, time usage, and patient exposure to the hospital environment, US-guided CNB should replace open surgery biopsy for diagnosing suspicious breast cancers during the pandemic in Indonesia.

Preoperative Ultrasound

Background: Breast cancer operative management consists of breast surgery and axillary lymph node (ALN) assessment. ALN status is an important prognostic factor and determinant of breast cancer treatment. Objective: To investigate preoperative ultrasound-guided axillary lymph node core needle biopsy (USACNB) accuracy in predicting ALN involvement for breast cancer. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study took place between February 2014 and May 2019. One hundred nine consecutive operable breast cancer patients with suspicious ALN involvement were assessed using preoperative USACNB and subsequent breast cancer surgery. Exclusion criteria were insufficient ALN tissue from USACNB for interpretation, previous breast or axillary surgery on the same side. Patients with preoperative histopathology results proving of metastasis underwent ALN dissection (ALND) while those with negative results had sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). When SLNB was positive, ALND was then performed. Preoperative USACNB accuracy was analyzed using SLNB or ALND pathological results as standard tests. Results: The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of preoperative USACNB in evaluating ALN involvement was 87.5%, 100%, 100%, and 80.4%, respectively, with an accuracy of 91.7%. Conclusion: Preoperative USACNB shows high diagnostic accuracy in ALN metastasis, but its NPV remains too low to completely rule out ALN involvement. Standard SLNB is still necessary in cases of negative USACNB. Keywords: Breast cancer; Ultrasound guided core needle biopsy; Axillary lymph node
