Abstract

This 18-month retrospective study examined the accuracy of core needle biopsy (CNB) in diagnosing histological type and Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) grade in 110 invasive breast cancer patients at Rajshree Medical Research Institute, Bareilly. The study demonstrated 89.1% histological concordance between CNB and surgical specimens, with invasive ductal carcinoma identified with excellent accuracy. However, SBR grade concordance was moderate at 77.3%, suggesting CNB may not consistently reflect tumour aggressiveness. Statistics showed great sensitivity and specificity for histological typing, but CNB results should be interpreted cautiously, especially for grading and rare subtypes. CNB is still a useful diagnostic tool, although surgical examination may be needed to confirm and arrange treatment.
