Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how accurately core needle biopsies (CNB) can assess androgen receptor (AR) expression in breast cancer (BC), comparing these findings to standard surgical samples (SS).
- - Out of 72 patients, 87.5% exhibited AR expression, with CNB showing high accuracy (95.8%) at a 1% cutoff but lower accuracy (86.1%) at a 10% cutoff for AR positivity.
- - The findings suggest that while CNB is effective for detecting AR expression in BC, its accuracy diminishes when a higher cutoff for positivity is applied.
