title: [Value of needle biopsy in the diagnosis of gynecologic carcinoma recurrence].
abstract: There are many difficulties in the diagnosis of recurrent carcinoma in the lesser pelvis. A second course of radiation carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Therefore histological proof of recurrence must be obtained prior to subjecting a patient to radiotherapy. An attempt has been made to demonstrate malignant recurrence on the pelvic side wall by means of needle biopsy. The results of 181 needle biopsies are reviewed and the sources of error in this method are discussed.
