Image-guided biopsy is the technique of choice in head and neck lesions that are deep or difficult to palpate and inaccessible to endoscopy. It is especially useful when recurrence is suspected after radiation therapy or cancer surgery. Many puncture sites have been reported in the literature; the present novel laryngeal approach extends the range of image-guided biopsy, although further studies will be needed to assess possible morbidity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
