  • Title: [Preliminary results using the histocan needle biopsy for the microscopic evaluation of gynaecologic tumours (author's transl)].
    Author: Höffken H, Rummel HH, Heinrich D, Leppien G.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1981 Mar; 41(3):184-7. PubMed ID: 7215757.
    Abstract:
    In a preliminary study the new "Histocan"-needle was tested in respect of its diagnostic value in patients with palpatory findings suspicious for recurrent cancer in the pelvis and in patients with breast tumours. Initially there were some difficulties in handling the biopsy needle. Furthermore we saw some haematomas after breast biopsy, which could be avoided, however, by compression of the biopsy wound. From the morphological point of view the fine structures of tissue specimen were without the gross needle-conditioned artifacts and in some respect could be interpreted better than in Silverman-biopsies. Statistical data can only be given after finishing our cooperative studies.
