Association of core needle biopsy tract resection with local recurrence in extremity soft tissue sarcoma.

Our data suggest any influence of a CNB tract resection on LR, within the limitations of this study, is likely to be of minor clinical importance in extremity STS. Although it would be prudent to resect the CNB tract in most cases, not resecting the CNB tract is a feasible option if identification or removal of the CNB tract proves difficult.
