Whether cervical lymph node biopsy needle promotes lung cancer metastasis rate

Dec 23, 2022

We do not know which needle method of cervical lymph node biopsy should be used, puncture biopsy or surgical biopsy. No matter which method, cervical lymph node biopsy alone cannot promote metastasis of lung cancer, but the two methods are not absolutely safe. In addition to common complications, surgical biopsy may lead to intraoperative implantation if the concept of tumor free is poor, while puncture has the possibility of needle path metastasis. However, these metastases are very rare, and even if they do occur, they do not have much impact on the patient. Therefore, cervical lymph node biopsy needles are the preferred method for diagnosing lung cancer, and are much safer than lung puncture. Please rest assured.
