ULTRASONOGRAPHY‐GUIDED CORE‐NEEDLE BIOPSY OF LYMPHADENOPATHIES SUSPECTED OF LYMPHOMA: ANALYSIS OF EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF 1000 BIOPTIC PROCEDURES IN A MULTICENTER ITALIAN STUDY.

ULTRASONOGRAPHY-GUIDED CORE-NEEDLE BIOPSY OF LYMPHADENOPATHIES SUSPECTED OF LYMPHOMA: ANALYSIS OF EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF 1000 BIOPTIC PROCEDURES IN A MULTICENTER ITALIAN STUDY For aBc-NHL neoplasms, the sensitivity rate was 100%, that is, 309 of 309 aBc-NHL samples were correctly identified; for iBc-NHL, was 95% with a false negative rate of 5% (13 inconclusive results); for HL, the sensitivity rate was 93% with a false negative rate of 7% (14 inconclusive results); and for NPTC-NHL, the sensitivity rate was 90% with a false negative rate of 10% (3 inconclusive samples). Patients with clinical suspect of lymphoma require prompt and correct diagnosis through the histological examination. [Extracted from the article]
