Re: Bad Pet. I need you.

Thanks! Fine-needle aspiration, as in trying to fine-needle my way through reading glasses that need cleaning, badly. I put the word "diagnostic" in quotes in regards to fine-needle aspiration. A fine-needle aspiration does not preserve the histological architecture of the tissue cells, needed for "drug selection." An incisional biopsy or core biopsy (tru-cut) preserves the histological architecture of the tissue cells.
