2 Percutaneous or open surgical biopsy in NB? Recommendations for percutaneous needle biopsy Claudio Granata Istituto Giannina Gaslini (Genova, Italy)

3 Biopsy in NB Which case? Unresectable NB Why? To collect sufficient material for Histology Biologic studies (MYCN, 1p-del,...) How? Open biopsy Laparo / Thoracoscopic biopsy Image guided core needle biopsy

4 Ideal technique of biopsy Effective Safe Easy Suitable for all lesion Minimally invasive Repeatable Cheap

5 Effective Surgical Biopsy Recommended in most protocols Invasive Possible spillage Expensive Complications?

6 Laparoscopic biopsy Less invasive than open biopsy Not suitable for all lesions Possible spillage Conversion to open surgical biopsy relatively frequent Higher rate of complications with thoracoscopy Expensive

7 Image guided core needle biopsy (IGCNB) Adequacy? Accuracy? Complications? Minimally invasive Cheap

8 IGCNB: technique Imaging technique US whenever possible CT when necessary Coaxial technique advisable Multiple passes and cores with a single puncture 16G/18G semiautomated needle Retroperitoneal approach

9 Materials

10 Biopsy planning

11

12 IGCNB: theoretical disadvantages Unrepresentativeness Sample too small for: formal morphological studies molecular studies

13 Unrepresentativeness? IGCNB 4 µm, area 10 mm 2 0,0001 % of mass Open Biopsy 4 µm, area 100 mm 2 0,001 % of mass vs assume 5 cm diameter mass Adapted from NJ Sebire, GOSH, 2007

14 GN and nodular GNB Nodular GNB difficult to diagnose with IGCNB GN on needle biopsy may be nodular GNB Single No Nodule? Multiple Primary site Metastatic site

15 Too small for molecular studies? Historical issue Now: RT/PCR (requiring only 30 ngr of tissue) FISH (dabs imprints only) Immunostaining (from a single 0.5 mm slice µm sections)

16 Too small for morphological studies? Historical issue Traditional hystopathological features seem not to have an independent effect on prognosis of NB Biological molecular studies (MYCN amp, 1p del,...) have proved to be of much more prognostic value NJ Sebire, Med Hypotheses, 66: , 2006

17

18 Methods Computer based search of articles on IGCNB in children with suspected neoplasms Review of pooled data to define adequacy, accuracy and complications Results Review of 13 studies for a total of 698 IGCNB Adequacy of biopsies: 94% Accuracy of biopsies: 94% Complications: 1% No needle tract recurrence observed

19 IGCNB: results 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Histology FISH RTPCR Freeze Cytology 100 consecutives cases at GOSH NJ Sebire, GOSH, 2007

20 Conclusions In most cases IGCNB is adequate for diagnosis, prognostication, molecular studies and research in pediatric tumors Results are comparable with those of surgical techniques Specialist interventional radiologists, laboratory staff, and pediatric pathologists are required to get maximum information from such samples

21 Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of primary liver tumours in young children Derek Roebuck Great Ormond Street Hospital London, UK

22 Primary liver tumours in children is biopsy necessary? what technique should be used? image-guided needle biopsy laparoscopic biopsy laparotomy / minilaparotomy how safe is biopsy? how accurate is biopsy?

23 Biopsy may not be necessary if diagnosis is likely on the basis of imaging, and management is: primary resection conservative (serial ultrasound) if biochemical tests are diagnostic certain patients with hepatoblastoma??

24 International approaches USA Japan attempt resection chemotherapy SIOPEL percutaneous biopsy chemotherapy delayed surgery

25 Possible compromise PRETEXT I easy PRETEXT II up front resection chemotherapy all others percutaneous biopsy chemotherapy delayed surgery

26 Further refinement all others age 6 months to 3 years and AFP elevated and imaging = hepatoblastoma no yes percutaneous biopsy chemotherapy delayed surgery

27 Benefits of biopsy material for biological studies protection of doctors increased confidence for parents

28 Coaxial plugged image-guided needle biopsy

29 Biopsy technique biopsy path chosen carefully avoid peritoneal surface cross only disposable liver segments ultrasound guidance high-frequency transducer plugged coaxial biopsy semi-automated cutting needle

30 Biopsy path MHV LPV 4 8 IVC

31 Coaxial biopsy technique

32 freehand ultrasound guidance

35 Results of this technique at Great Ormond Street

36 Methods prospective study of US-guided biopsy in children aged less than 5 years safety assessed by clinical follow-up accuracy assessed by comparison of biopsy result with final diagnosis resection specimen clinical follow-up

37 Patients 33 children (20 male) median age 11 months youngest 14 days oldest 4 years median follow-up 4.5 yr

38 Tumour characteristics multifocal 7/33 (21%) maximum diameter 170 mm median volume 650 ml

39 Needle size 18 gauge 21% 14 gauge 3% 16 gauge 76%

40 Complications one drop in haemoglobin level without imaging evidence of haemorrhage no evidence of tumour seeding

41 Accuracy 30/33 (91%) biopsy diagnosis accurate 2/33 (6%) biopsy diagnosis accurate when combined with clinical findings 1/33 (3%) final diagnosis unclear overall 32/33 (97%) accurate diagnosis

42 Final diagnoses hepatoblastoma = 21 (66%) haemangioma = 4 (12%) other = 7 (22%) malignant = 3 benign = 4

43 Discussion

44 Safety no haemorrhage no needle tract seeding small numbers at least as good as open biopsy

45 Accuracy small numbers make generalization unreliable 97% in this series probably as good as open biopsy

46 Conclusions small numbers make generalization potentially unreliable ultrasound-guided biopsy of primary liver tumours is acceptably safe and accurate needle biopsy is preferable to surgical biopsy (SIOPEL)
