Core Tip
Core Tip: Modern oncology is largely based on histopathological examination of preoperative specimens. However, decision to perform thyroid surgery is based on results of fine-needle aspiration cytology. It is considered that core-needle biopsy is an invasive procedure for an abundantly vascularized gland. Advances in technical construction of automatic and semi-automatic guns has led to the possibility of safe and efficient obtainment of thyroid histological specimens before surgery. Ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy is now a widely implemented procedure in difficult and dubious cases of thyroid neoplasia owing to the advances in thyroid imaging. The latest advances in this field demonstrate that core-needle biopsy is a safe procedure that can decrease the number of unnecessary thyroid surgery and can provide additional information in doubtful cases.
