Official title
Ultrasound Guided Core Needle Biopsy Versus Fine Needle Aspiration of Morphologically Abnormal Axillary Lymph Node in Patients With New Diagnosis or Suspected Diagnosis of Invasive Breast Carcinoma
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
To compare accuracy of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) to core needle biopsy (CNB) of ultrasound detected abnormal axillary lymph nodes in patients with newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer or suspected invasive breast cancer. Hypothesis: FNA and CNB have equivalent diagnostic accuracies In order to prove our hypothesis, we will perform FNA and CNB on the same lymph node in each consented patient. The two samples will be evaluated separately by different pathologists blinded to the material in the other sample. The results of the biopsies will be compared to the gold standard (lymph node excision).
