Core needle biopsy of breast tumours: comparison of diagnostic performance between surgery and radiology services at a national cancer centre in Latin America
Both hospital services, breast surgery and radiology, are efficient in determining an accurate diagnosis using CNB. However, the breast surgery service performs CNB in a shorter time interval. Breast surgical oncologists are encouraged to perform CNB if there are understaffed radiology services to expedite the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer patients.
