Case Illustration. We reported a 19–year–old man with a productive cough suspected of pulmonary tuberculosis, with a positive GeneXpert test and negative AFB smear. He received anti–tuberculosis drugs for six months. Although the symptoms initially seemed to improve, the patient complained of dyspnea during moderate activities in …

Potential Of Tumor Cell Seeding And Clinical Impact On Percutaneous Breast Biopsy Tracks: A Literature Review, I G.N. Gunawan Wibisana, Muhammad Mirwan

The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery

Introduction. Based on its effectiveness, a percutaneous breast biopsy was chosen because it has minimum side effects and fewer complications, does not distort the breast tissue architecture, and can be performed on an outpatient basis. However, the biopsy can damage the integrity of tumor cells, creating seeding at the site of the track made. Therefore, core biopsy is the method of choice for breast lesion sampling using a 14G needle that provides greater sensitivity. This study aims to explain whether the percutaneous biopsy track has the potential for the formation of tumor cell seeding and its clinical impact.
