Are Needle Biopsies Safe?
針切片檢查法 (抽組織) 安全嗎？

Originally published in Natural News 2005（中譯：子傑@E5）

Needle biopsies, widely used and accepted as a safe and reliable test for cancer, may not be safe after all. The concern is that the technique may accidentally cause malignant cells to break away from a tumor, allowing it to spread to other areas of the body. And according to a study from the John Wayne Cancer Institute, it appears that a needle biopsy may increase the spread of cancer by 50 percent compared to patients who received excisional biopsies, also known as lumpectomies.
針切片檢查法，被廣泛使用作為一個安全而可靠的癌症測試驗，終究亦不能說是安全的。關心的是這技術會偶然導致惡性細胞從腫瘤破出，擴散到身體的其它區域。根據約翰?韋恩癌症學院的一項研究，看來「針切片檢查法」比接受「切除組織」的患者，會增加癌症擴散機會50 %。

The needle biopsy itself, of which tens of thousands are performed in the United States each year, may have been responsible for spreading the cancer in the study participants via "Disruption of the tumor by the needle."
美國每年數以萬計使用過「針切片檢查法」，這檢查法要對參加研究者的「癌擴散」負責，因他們受過「癌瘤針刺的干擾」。

A tumor may need to be punctured four to six times to retrieve an adequate amount of tissue for diagnostic purposes, and whether this runs the risk of spreading the cancer--into the track formed by the needle or by spilling cells directly into the lymphatic system or bloodstream? -- is a concept that's been debated for some time.
診斷是需要在腫瘤上刺四~六次來獲取足夠組織數量，這是否有冒著擴散癌症之險，使癌細胞有機會滲入針刺的通道，或會直接把癌細胞濺入淋巴或血液之系統中？這論點一直在辯證多時。

“Fine Needle Biopsy” and Liver

A British Medical Journal study reported that fine-needle biopsies of the liver might allow the tumor to be "seeded" in the track of the needle. Some authors say that it occurs .4 percent to 5.1 percent of the time. Using these estimates, it's possible that one in 20 needle biopsies of the liver result in a new tumor.

「針切片檢查法」和肝臟

《英國醫療學報》提出肝臟的「幼針切片檢查法」可能使到腫瘤在針刺的針道上「播種」。一些作者認為它有千份四至百分之五的機會會發生。使用這些估計，每20個「肝臟針切片」檢查會產生一個新的腫瘤。

Other Diagnostic Options -- To patients looking to avoid needle biopsies, other options (each with their own ups and downs) do exist. These include:
Imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, PET scans and ultrasound, Thermography, which detects abnormal patterns of heat emanating from areas of high metabolic activity.
其他診斷的選擇 - 給那些祈望能避免「針切片檢查法」的病人，有以下的選擇：
斷層錄像，磁力共震，中子斷層掃描，及超聲波 ，紅外線體溫造像 – 用來偵察身體某部份因高度代謝活動所發射出的不尋常熱能式樣。
