Brief Title: US-Guided Biopsy in the Diagnosis of Musculoskeletal Soft-Tissue Tumors
Official Title: Diagnostic Yield of Ultrasound-Guided Needle Biopsy in the Diagnosis of Musculoskeletal Soft-Tissue Tumors
Study ID: NCT03452644
Brief Summary: A retrospective evaluation of soft tissue tumors that have undergone core needle biopsy with US guidance (US-CNB)
Detailed Description: The present study is designed to be the first step in the creation of an interdisciplinary platform collecting data on patients and procedures to provide a predictive tool to help physicians in the management of patients affected by a soft tissue lesion. The primary aim of our work is to evaluate the diagnostic yield of US-CNB. The secondary aim is to exploit all the imaging data conventionally available at a Sarcoma Center before a biopsy on a soft tissue mass, to build a multiparametric model and score of prediction of malignancy, and eventually of biological behavior - grading.
