What the experts said
The systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted by IPSO
The review analyzed the accuracy and safety of image-guided core needle biopsy for neuroblastoma
The review included 8 retrospective studies with 490 patients
Tissue adequacy was not significantly different between image-guided core needle biopsy and surgical biopsy groups
Biological characterization of the biopsy was not significantly different between image-guided core needle biopsy and surgical biopsy groups
Intraoperative transfusions were higher in the surgical biopsy group compared to image-guided core needle biopsy
Complications were higher in the surgical biopsy group compared to image-guided core needle biopsy
Image-guided core needle biopsy is safe and effective for diagnosing neuroblastoma
