Early recurrence or submucosal residual of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma: Diagnosis by CT-guided endolaryngeal core biopsy on a transcutaneous approach
Head & Neck, 05/31/2012
Rousset J et al. – Image–guided biopsy is the technique of choice in head and neck lesions that are deep or difficult to palpate and inaccessible to endoscopy. It is especially useful when recurrence is suspected after radiation therapy or cancer surgery. Many puncture sites have been reported in the literature; the present novel laryngeal approach extends the range of image–guided biopsy, although further studies will be needed to assess possible morbidity.
