Advancing the age limit for core biopsy for U2 ultrasound lesions – are we ready?

Introduction: In November 2019 the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) suggested that a higher age cut-off of 30 years, as opposed to 25, may be appropriate in assessment of a lump when a fibroadenoma, lipoma or hamartoma is suspected, and a needle biopsy may not be required. We assessed whether this change in practice could be safely implemented, supported by local data and if we could adopt this in a multi-ethnic inner-city population.
