The recent availability of an automated core biopsy gun has made the performance of core biopsies of the prostate easier and better tolerated. A prospective study was conducted to compare the efficacy of fine needle aspiration to core biopsy with the gun. Among 94 patients subjected to both biopsy techniques at the same visit 30 (32%) had a positive diagnosis of prostate cancer. Core biopsy was positive in these 30 patients (100%), while fine needle aspiration was positive in 21 (70%). This study suggests that core biopsy with the gun is superior to fine needle aspiration in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
最近自动活检枪的出现使得前列腺组织芯活检的操作更加简便，患者耐受性更好。进行了一项前瞻性研究，以比较细针穿刺抽吸术与使用活检枪进行组织芯活检的效果。在94例在同一次就诊时接受了这两种活检技术的患者中，30例（32%）被确诊为前列腺癌。这30例患者组织芯活检均为阳性（100%），而细针穿刺抽吸术有21例阳性（70%）。该研究表明，在前列腺癌诊断中，使用活检枪进行组织芯活检优于细针穿刺抽吸术。
