CNB Laboratory
Core needle biopsies are conducted for a fee or under National Health Fund [NFZ] coverage
The core needle biopsy (CNB) involves taking cell samples from an existing nodule (breast nodule or nodule from other anatomical structures) for microscopic evaluation. This type of biopsy allows the collection of larger tissue amounts compared to fine-needle biopsy.
However, CNB needs to be repeated several times to obtain an adequate amount of material for examination.
