However, little is known about the benefits and criteria for selecting appropriate technique among them in clinical practice. We aimed to compare the sensitivity of ultrasound-guided CNB, FNAC, TIC as well as combinations for the diagnosis of hepatic malignancies, and to determine the factors associated with better sensitivity in each technique.enBiopsy; Cytology; Histology; Liver cancer; Ultrasonography[SDGs]SDG3adult; Article; biopsy technique; comparative study; esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; female; human; human tissue; liver cancer; liver injury; lung cancer; major clinical study; male; metastasis; middle aged; needle biopsy; sensitivity and specificity; touch imprint cytology; ultrasound; ultrasound guided fine needle aspirationjournal article10.3350/cmh.2020.0301333172392-s2.0-85104667047WOS:000637344100011https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/561653
