Nålbiopsi är inte bästa metod för att diagnostisera lymfom : Den ökade användningen kan ge allvarliga konsekvenser för diagnostik, forskning och behandlingsutveckling

Abstract
Core needle biopsies for lymphoma diagnosis seriously affect diagnostics,
treatment development and research Core needle biopsies (CNBs) are widely used in
clinical diagnostic labs to aid in the diagnosis of malignant lymphomas and in
latter years their use is increasing. CNBs provide a rapid method for obtaining
tumour material and may be beneficial when the affected lymph nodes are located
deep in the abdominal cavity or mediastinum and surgical excisional biopsies may
be difficult to perform. However, according to the Swedish Haematopathology
Quality and Standardization Committee, CNBs are insufficient for lymphoma
diagnostic purposes and the guidelines... (More)
Core needle biopsies for lymphoma diagnosis seriously affect diagnostics,
treatment development and research Core needle biopsies (CNBs) are widely used in
clinical diagnostic labs to aid in the diagnosis of malignant lymphomas and in
latter years their use is increasing. CNBs provide a rapid method for obtaining
tumour material and may be beneficial when the affected lymph nodes are located
deep in the abdominal cavity or mediastinum and surgical excisional biopsies may
be difficult to perform. However, according to the Swedish Haematopathology
Quality and Standardization Committee, CNBs are insufficient for lymphoma
diagnostic purposes and the guidelines state that material from surgical
excisional biopsies are mandatory in order to obtain a robust histopathological
evaluation of the lymph node architecture, cellular composition and growth
pattern. Surgical excision biopsies also ensure that adequate material is
available if additional molecular analyses should be required and also to
facilitate future research. (Less)
