[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Diagnostic yield
- timeFrame
- One year
- description
- Diagnostic yield will be defined as the number of diagnostic core needle biopsies divided by the total number of core needle biopsies. A diagnostic yield \> 94% will be considered sufficient to produce a sample to reach the histological diagnosis.
Secondary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Prediction of malignancy
- timeFrame
- One year
- description
- To determine which imaging features and biomarkers correlates with malignancy and biological behavior of soft tissue masses.
