Study of Pathological Assessment, Immunohistochemistry and Bone Specimen Collection in Cancer Patients

Sahin Gulsum

The gold standard for determining static and dynamic bone morphological parameters and tumor burden in bone is currently bone biopsy with a 7–8 mm “Bordier” trephine of trans-iliac bone. However, in clinical practice, the size of the needle is rarely, if ever, used because it is a concern for both patients and doctors. Our team has previously assessed tumor receptors with 2 mm trephine needles and compared tumor cell yield between 2 mm iliac crest biopsies and CTguided specimens.
