Hi - what determines whether you get a core needle or fine needle biopsy?
Hi m. - Core needle biopsy usually allows for a more accurate assessment of a breast mass than fine needle aspiration because more of the area is sampled, and it allows the pathologist to see abnormal cells in relation to the surrounding small sample of breast tissue taken in the specimen. In other words, you can often learn more by getting a broader view. Good luck! - PJH
