What is a core (needle) biopsy?

A core biopsy is also called a needle biopsy. A core biopsy is similar to a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA), but your doctor uses a bigger needle to remove the tissue sample for lab evaluation. The drawback to core biopsies, according to Dr. Uthman, is that a small sample may get only the benign changes and miss malignant changes.

A reliable and increasingly common procedure in large cancer centers is the use of ultrasound techniques for core biopsies. Another but less frequent practice is the use of the stereotactic core biopsy. A stereotactic core biopsy is used when the lesions (abnormal tissue) can only be seen on a mammogram.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
