  • Title: [Needle biopsies of areas suspicious of recurrence in patients with gynaecological tumors (author's transl)].
    Author: Frank S, Heyn R, Penning W.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1977 May; 37(5):429-32. PubMed ID: 873165.
    Abstract:
    With the biopsy needle of Franzén, 403 needle biopsies were carried out in 263 patients with gynaecological malignant tumors. In 152 cases the results of the aspiration cytology were compared with microscopic examinations or with the clinical course for at least 6 months. In 88 cases with probable recurrence the needle biospy showed a positive or suspicious result in 73 cases. A positive needle biopsy result was confirmation of recurrent tumor whereas a negative result did not rule out a recurrence. Aspiration cytology is a valuable ancillary method in the diagnosis of the recurrence of gynaecological tumors.
