Read the joint ISUOG/ESGO Consensus Statement on ultrasound-guided biopsy in gynecological oncology aiming to assist clinicians, including gynecological sonographers, gynecological oncologists and radiologists, to achieve the best standards of practice in ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures. This Consensus Statement is supplemented by detailed narrated videoclips presenting different approaches and indications for ultrasound-guided biopsy as well as a patient leaflet.
