Comparison of core needle biopsy (CNB) and surgical specimens for accurate preoperative evaluation of ER, PgR and HER2 status of breast cancer patients

The roles of core needle biopsy (CNB) have become well established as an important preoperative diagnostic method for breast lesions. We examined the concordance of histological types, nuclear grades, hormone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status between CNB and surgi...

Zusammenfassung:The roles of core needle biopsy (CNB) have become well established as an important preoperative diagnostic method for breast lesions. We examined the concordance of histological types, nuclear grades, hormone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status between CNB and surgical specimens in 353 cases. In addition, we analyzed the correlation between the number of CNB specimens obtained and accuracy of histological factors in order to explore the optimal number of CNB specimens. Between CNB and surgical specimens, concordance rates of histological type, nuclear grade, estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PgR) status (cut‐off 0–
