A retrospective evaluation of soft tissue tumors that have undergone core needle biopsy with US guidance (US-CNB)
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.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic yield | 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. | One year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Prediction of malignancy | To determine which imaging features and biomarkers correlates with malignancy and biological behavior of soft tissue masses. | One year |
