ABSTRACT
Aspiration biopsy cytology (ABC) is commonly performed for the diagnosis of thyroid tumor. Because ABC may not provide sufficient tissue for pathological diagnosis, we performed needle biopsy using a Monopty Biopsy Instrument for the accurate diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Furthermore, it is difficult to safely perform a core needle biopsy (CNB) for the diagnosis of breast cancer in the thyroid gland region. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using a Monopty Biopsy Instrument as an alternative to conventional ABC or CNB for the biopsy-based diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Twenty patients with clinically suspected thyroid cancer were enrolled, and all patients were thoroughly examined. Seven cases of thyroid cancer were diagnosed, of which 5 cases were papillary carcinoma and 2 were undifferentiated carcinoma.
