Comparison Ultrasound-Guided Handheld Vacuum Assisted Breast Biopsy and Core Biopsy in Breast Cancer
Abstract
Introduction. Needle biopsy, including core needle biopsy (CNB) and vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) with or without radiological support) is the initial investigative method of choice for the preoperative diagnosis of breast lesions. Ultrasound-guided VABB (US-VABB) has become widely accepted because of its high accuracy. In this review, the diagnostic performance indices of CNB were compared with US-VABBB techniques.
Method. A literature search proceeded in online databases compiling studies from the last 20 years in the PubMed, EBSCOhost, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases. Eighteen eligible studies compared US-VABB and CNB for diagnostic accuracy. All studies were cohort retrospective. This literature search proceeded according to the PRISMA.
Results. Eighteen retrospective studies in three categories: comparative studies of US-VABB and CNB and the diagnostic accuracy of US-VABB and CNB. The studies showed that US-VABB has higher sensitivity and specificity than CNB but lower inadequacy and underestimation rates in the comparative studies group. In addition, the diagnostic accuracy of US-VABB is higher than CNB when comparing the other two subgroups (sensitivity and specificity: 94.4%-100% vs. 82%-90% and 98%-100% vs. 96%-98%, respectively).
Conclusion. US-VABB has higher overall diagnosis accuracy than CNB
