| Abstract | Histological examination of adequate biopsy specimens is fundamental to the management of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). A practical alternative to open biopsy, provided enough tissue can be obtained, has obvious advantages, especially if the lesion in question is deep seated, and might call for laparotomy or thoracotomy. Core biopsy with computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound (US) guidance may be such an alternative, particularly when a spring-loaded firing device is used. Thirty-four biopsies were performed in 26 patients with known or suspected NHL. A primary histological diagnosis was made in 7/7 (six NHL, one seminoma). Relapse was confirmed in 15/15 patients overall. In patients with follicular NHL, 8/15 biopsies showed progression to high grade histology. Biopsies were also performed to assess the nature of residual abnormalities after treatment and to obtain fresh tissue for immunocytochemistry. Tissue was obtained in all cases and a further procedure (two laparotomies, one second needle biopsy) was required on only three occasions. The procedure was well tolerated and there were no complications. This technique is therefore a valuable alternative to more invasive surgical procedures and may be of major benefit in the management of NHL. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
