  • Korea is rapidly entering into an aging society, and an increasing socioeconomic burden related to prostate cancer is inevitable. Therefore, the need for early detection and accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer is becoming increasingly critical. Ideally, a biopsy should accurately detect cancers using a minimum number of cores. However, as prostate cancer is often indistinguishable on imaging, image-guided targeted biopsies alone are insufficient for diagnosis. After decades of trial and error, the diagnosis of prostate cancer relies heavily on systematic biopsy, which is characterized by random and repetitive core acquisition throughout the gland. This review will provide an overview of the historical aspects of prostate cancer diagnosis. Moreover, the review will also address the general considerations involved in prostate biopsy, and discuss the periprocedural management of the patients.

  • The prior purpose of this study is to introduce a optical biopsy and evaluate whether the optical biopsy, real-time, non-invasive technique, is a reliable tool to assess response to radiotherapy Four healthy volunteers, and four patients with inflammatory conditions of the oral cavity participated on the study. was obtained from each person enrolled in the study. Using FastEEM(Ercited Emission Matrix) as a optical biopsy tool, normal and tumor spectra are taken from the normal and the tumor regions. And then second optical biopsy are taken from the tumor regions in 4 patients with time delay at 7days.. Using a diagnostic algorithm, made by Gillenwater based on spectra excited at 337nm The Optical Biopsy turned out to be more suited for tumor diagnostic resulting in significant difference fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence intensity of cancerous tissue showed a higher position. The second fluorescence intensity of optical biopsy of cancerous oral tissue has more smaller than the first result. I conclude that optical biopsy, which technique don't need to remove tissue sample from body, and is a real time , and non-invasive measurement is a reliable tool to access to radiotherapy because FastEEM can do measure the variation of the tissue composition chemical, biological, and morphological after radiotherapy. Based on the fluorescence spectrum are taken from the optical biopsy in normal and tumor spectra as well as tumor spectra after 7days.

  • Background: A forceps-biopsy is performed to acquire tissue from patients with an endobronchial carcinoma using a flexible bronchoscope. Recently, a cryo-biopsy has also been used to acquire tissue samples. Cryo-biopsy is the diagnostic application of extreme cold for the local destruction of abnormal living tissue. This technique is safe, with no radiation danger, no risk of electrical accidents, and a little risk of bleeding. This study compared a forceps-biopsy with a cryo-biopsy using a flexible bronchoscope, and examined the chemosensitivity and level of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) in the specimens obtained from the cryo-biopsy. Methods: We present a prospective study of 30 consecutive patients who underwent a forceps-biopsy between January 2007 and October 2007 with a mean age of 62.1 years and a male:female ratio of 5 : 1. A flexible bronchoscope was inserted to the area of the abnormal lesions, and a cryo-probe was then applied through the working channel of the flexible bronchoscope. A temperature of approximately -h80 was delivered to the tumor site for 8 seconds. The cryo-biopsy was performed after destroying the tumor mass. Results: The mean size of the tissue from the forceps-biopsy and cryo-biopsy were 2.0${\pm}$1.2 mm and 6.0${\pm}$3.0 mm. A chemosensitivity test was performed on 5 specimens obtained using cryo-biopsy and the level of VEGF was examined in 2 specimens obtained from a cryo-biopsy. There were no side effects in either group. Conclusion: Cryo-biopsy using a flexible bronchoscope is a safe and effective technique for acquiring tissue samples.

  • Purpose: A biopsy is needed to diagnose soft tissue tumors. However, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the site of a tumor due to the heterogeneity of sarcomas. Thus, even when an open biopsy is conducted, it is difficult to diagnose a soft tissue tumor. In such cases, an ultrasound (US)-guided biopsy is used to improve the diagnostic accuracy. This study evaluated the accuracy of US-guided biopsy for a diagnosis of soft tissue tumors found initially in a magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion and assessed the availability of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for a diagnosis of soft tissue tumors. Materials and Methods: From January 2014 to December 2018, the US-guided biopsy was performed on 152 patients with a suspected soft tissue tumor found in an MR perfusion and 86 cases were definitively diagnosed with a soft tissue tumor. The accuracy of the US-guided biopsy was assessed retrospectively. Among the 86 cases, only MR perfusion was used before the biopsy in 50 cases, while both MR perfusion and PET-CT was conducted on 36 cases. The accuracy was analyzed to determine if the PET-CT could improve the precision of a biopsy. Results: From 86 cases, 34 out of 50 cases, in which only MR perfusion had been conducted, matched the result of the definitive diagnosis and the US-guided biopsy. 32 out of 36 cases, in which both PET-CT and MR perfusion were conducted, matched the definitive diagnosis and the US-guided biopsy. These results show significant differences in the accuracy of US-guided biopsy. In the case of soft tissue sarcomas, 6 out of 12 cases, in which only MR perfusion had been conducted, matched the result of the definitive diagnosis and the US-guided biopsy. 17 out of 18 cases, in which both PET-CT and MR perfusion were conducted, matched the definitive diagnosis. Moreover US-guided biopsy also showed significant differences in the accuracy of US-guided biopsy. Conclusion: In diagnosing soft tissue tumors, a US-guided biopsy is a well-known tool for its high accuracy. However, the heterogeneity of sarcoma makes it difficult to locate the exact site for a biopsy using only MR perfusion. Thus, the use of PET-CT will meaningfully improve the accuracy of a diagnosis by precisely targeting the site for the US-guided biopsy.

  • Fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) is widely used in screening of head and neck(H&N) masses because it has high accuracy and few damage. The 235 cases of FNAB were performed on patient with H&N mass at the Department of Otolaryngology, Hanyang University Hospital during 1 years, from March 1985 to February 1992. The 188 of 235 were proven histologically, clinically. The results obtained were as follows ; 1) FNAB for malignant H&N mass shows sensitivity of 81.5% specificity of 96.8%. 2) FNAB for malignant LN shows sensitivity of 86.0%, specificity of 88.9%. 3) FNAB for salivary gland shows sensitivity of 66.7%, specificity 81.8%. 4) FNAB for soft tissues, bone, and intraoral lesions shows sensitivity of 90%, specificity 95.8%. 5) FNAB for tuberculosis shows false negative of 55.2%. 6) The result of FNAB was not closely related with location or size of neck nodes.

  • Endometrial biopsy in the horse is an important technique for maintaining breeding soundness by detecting changes related with reduced fertility and monitoring response to specific uterine therapy. A 13-year-old thoroughbred mare had been in trouble with repeated breeding for getting pregnant before the sample of endometrial biopsy was offered to investigate the possibility of pregnancy in the future. Based on the tissue sections examined, the prognosis for this mare to conceive and successfully carry a foal to term was estimated to be 10 to 50%.

  • Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment for immune deficiency, autoimmune diseases, and hematopoietic malignancies. The main complication of allogenic HSCT is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Oral mucosal biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis and treatment planning of GVHD, but this procedure causes bleeding and bacteremia in a poor general condition. We evaluated the efficacy of laser-assisted biopsy as a minimally invasive treatment. Three cases were described in this article. All patients' medical records, clinical photographs, and histopathologic findings were reviewed. All patients felt comfortable and no severe complications occurred. The quality of the obtained biopsy material was adequate for a definitive diagnosis of GVHD. Laser-assisted, minimally invasive biopsy of the oral mucosa does not cause bleeding, and it reduces the chances of infection, bacteremia, and postoperative scarring compared to the usual histopathologic biopsy procedure. It would thus be advantageous to use this procedure to biopsy GVHD patients.

  • The prostate cancer diagnosis has traditionally been based on a systematic biopsy method in which tissue samples are randomly obtained from the prostate 10-12 sites. However, there are concerns as the method can fail to diagnose all prostate cancers or lead to over-detection of clinically insignificant cancers. MRI-guided prostate targeted biopsy has been proposed to address these shortcomings. This method involves identifying suspicious lesions using MRI and performing targeted biopsies under ultrasound or MRI guidance. We review the methods of MRI-based targeted biopsy and discuss recent guidelines and trends in prostate cancer diagnosis.

  • Four dogs and two cats received laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted biopsy of abdominal organs for definite diagnosis of illness. Patients were presented with a chief complaint of acute or chronic vomiting excluding case 5 (seizure). Two patients needed the liver biopsy (case 1 and 5), and others did stomach and small intestine biopsy excluding case 2 (small intestine biopsy only). Surgical procedure was performed with modified standard methods. All patients recovered uneventfully and did not require any hospitalization without complications. Laparoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted biopsy could offer benefits of reduced incision length and rapid postoperative recovery.
