Good Oncology Practice • Biopsy,Biopsy,Biopsy
Accuracy of Biopsy(Low to High) • FNA • Needle Punch • Incisional biopsy • Excisional biopsy
Patient Risk(Low to High) • FNA • Needle Punch • Incisional biopsy • Excisional biopsy
Biopsy • Always the surgeons responsibility!
Value of Biopsy • “If the histological diagnosis is incorrect,every subsequent step in the management of the patient may also be incorrect”
Positive Attitude • “give the patient the benefit of doubt” • “do not doom the patient without knowing what you are treating”
Common Excuses for not Performing Biopsy • “the owner refuse to pay for it” • “the result will not matter anyway” • I know the owners will not elect adjunctive therapy anyway” • “no matter what it is, the animal will eventually die from it anyway” • “pathologists are always wrong”
Withrow • “if a mass warrants surgical removal, it warrant tissue analysis”
Medical Oncologist • “there is no body cavity which cannot be reached by a strong arm and a 16 gauge needle”
Multidisciplinaly Approach-Cancer • Oncologist • Nutritionist • Surgeon • Radiologist • Pathologist
Abdominal Exploration Complete your exploration first unless: • Active hemorrhage • Gross contamination • Lesion obstructs vision
Incisional vs. Excisional Biopsy Decision Making: • 1.Will full excision be potentially curative? • 2.Will excision of entire lesion improve patient’s condition
Incisional vs. Excisional Biopsy Decision Making: • 3.Will excision cause significant problems? Hemorrhage, ischemia, increase operative time • 4.Is there hope for success with non surgical treatments?
Excisional Biopsy-Advantages “If in doubt, cut it out” • 1.Less seeding tumor cells • 2.Diagnostic and therapeutic
Incisiosional Biopsy Conciderations Need diagnosis before excision? • Type or extent of treatment altered • Client consent for treatment altered • Reconstruction difficult • Likelihood for morbidity or mortality
When to Biopsy Abnormal tissue Appearance • Supports reason for exploratory • Tumor staging; metastatic involvement
When to Biopsy Normal tissue Appearance • Potential for involvement of “normal” appearing tissue • Diagnostics indicate disease in “normal” appearing tissue
Where to Biopsy • Sample lesion including “normal” adjacent tissue • Sample various areas in diffuse conditions, Inflammatory or infected tissue
Equipment and Materials • Bakers biopsy punch • Needle punch biopsy • Gelfoam • Suture material • General surgery pack
Principles of Biopsy • Limit tumor seeding • Control contamination • Minimize manipulation • Provide representative sample • Do not limit Surgicul excision
Biopsy Tips Hemorrhage Control • Digital pressure • Ligate local supplying vessesls • Gelfoam • Omental “tack”technique
Biopsy Tips Minimize Sample Artifact • Stay suture manipulation • Use 4x4 sponges as “cutting board”
Proper Biopsy Preparation • Cut into sections after excision • Specimens<1cm thick • 1:10 ratio formalin: tissue volume
Liver Biopsy General indications • Liver size changes • Abnormal laboratory tests • Benign vs. Malignant processes • Assess liver disease • Evaluation treatment of liver disease
Open Liver Biopsy • Excisional biopsy; primary hepatic neoplasms, singular metastatic nodules • Incisional biopsy; diffuse diseases, multiple nodules
Liver Biopsy Contraindication; • Coagulation abnormalities • No bleeding tendencies;Screen activated clotting time,platelet count • Suspect bleeder; coagulation profile treat first.
Baker’s Biopsy Punch Technique • Isolated liver lesion • Deeply located lesion
Guillotine Method • Difuse liver disease • Isolated lesion at periphery
Spleen Biopsy Indications; • Excisional biopsy Large splenic masses • Incisional biopsy Difuse disease Regenerative vs. malignant processes
Spleen Biopsy • Bakers Punch Technique • Guillotine Technique • Mattress Suture Technique • TA stapler Technique
Hollow Organ Biopsy Principles; • Gentle Tissue Handling • Full thickness samples • Protect against contamination • Protect “otomy” site?
Intestinal Biopsy Indications Single Biopsy • Solitary, viable, and nonobstructive amendable to resection Multiple biopsies • Diffuse processes
Intestinal Biopsy Technique • Proper preparation • 1-2cm length antimesenteric enterotomy • Prevent excess mucosal eversion • Do not remove >20% circumference
Intestinal Closure • Remove everted muccosa • Appositional, noncrushing pattern • Transverse vs. longitudinal closure • Omentum or serosal patch coverage
Pancreatic Biopsy Principles; • Gentle handling • Preserve blood supply • Avoid duct areas • No electrocoagulation
Pancreatic Biopsy Indications Excisional Biopsy • Solitary nodules Incisional Biopsy • Diffuse involvement • Benign vs. malignant processes • Lesions near duct areas
Pancreatic Biopsy Techniques • Shave biopsy technique • Guillotine or suture fracture Peripheral tissue lesions Diffuse lesions
Pancreatic Biopsy Techniques • Wedge incision technique • Needle punch technique Parencymal lesions in body Nonresectable masses
Lymph Node biopsy Indications; Lymphadenopathy • Benign vs. malignant proccesses • Clinical staging • Paraneoplastic proccess
Lymph Node biopsy • Liac and mesentric nodes most biopsied • Excisional biopsies unless risk vascular compromise • Stay suture technique
Kidney Biopsy Principles • Adequate patient prep. • Ensure normal coagulation function • Avoid hilar area
Kidney Biopsy Indications • Acute vs. chronic disease • Glomerulonephropathies
Kidney Biopsy Techniques • Needle Punch Biopsy Less hemorrhage, easier • Wedge Biopsy(Preferred) More consistent samples More hemorrhage
Prostatic Biopsy Principles • Avoid central located urethral area • Contain contamination, tumor cells • Examine median iliac LN • Minimal peripheral dissection
Incisional Prostatic Biopsy Indications • Benign vs. malignant disease • Obtain culture specimen,refractory prostatitis
Prostatic Biopsy Techniques • Needle Punch Poorly exposed areas Difficult disease • Wedge incision Requires good exposure More hemorrhage
Conclusions Full benefits of biopsy: • Surgeon’s ability to fully explore the abdomen and recognize abnormalities • Proper indications and technique
