The Accuracy of Ultrasound, Stereotactic, and Clinical Core Biopsies in the Diagnosis of Breast Cancer, With an Analysis of False-Negative Cases

摘要

In this study, 2427 core biopsies of the breast were examined, analyzing the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound, stereotactic, and clinical cores in palpable and nonpalpable lesions. Eighty-five patients (6.1%) with false-negative core biopsies were examined in detail to determine the factors that led to an initial false-negative diagnosis.
