“…Nevertheless, there remains much debate as to which particular method of ultrasound-guided diagnostic breast biopsy provides the most accurate and optimal diagnostic information [4-10]. In this regard, there seems to be an increasing trend towards the use of larger-gauged vacuum-assisted biopsy technology for ultrasound-guided diagnostic breast biopsies [4-77], particularly by the 8-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy approach [7,8,19,20,22,27,28,31,35,36,40,41,44-47,49-54,56-58,60-62,65-68,70,74,75]. The purpose of the current report is to retrospectively compare and contrast the results of two ultrasound-guided diagnostic breast biopsy methodologies, the 8-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy approach and the spring-loaded 14-gauge core biopsy approach, amongst a large series of ultrasound-guided diagnostic breast biopsy procedures performed by a single surgeon.…”
