Core Biopsy (Hands-On)

Core needle biopsy (CNB) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to obtain tissue from a lesion or tumor for histopathological analysis. This technique is the first choice in many cases due to its high accuracy, low risk of complications, and ability to guide further therapy planning. However, performing CNB requires

in-depth understanding of the indications, preparation, and handling of challenges that may occur during the procedure.

Workshop Objectives

The purpose of this workshop is to improve participants' understanding and skills in core needle biopsy (CNB) techniques, ranging from indications, preparation, to troubleshooting during the procedure. This workshop aims to equip participants with evidence-based knowledge and practical experience, so that they can perform CNB procedures effectively, safely, and accurately to support diagnosis and more optimal therapy planning for patients.
