Note the study was published in the British Journal of Radiology.

Good luck getting that study published in the U.S.

I see this is the conspiracy theory board on all topics. You were talking about metastasis systemically. That isn't the case even in the small numbers of cases with localized seeding.

""For example, tumour cell seeding was seen in 42% of patients when the interval between biopsy and excision was less than 15 days, but this was only seen in 15% of tumours excised more than 28 days after biopsy. This reduced the incidence of seeding down the needle track with time and was significant (p<0.005). This suggests that seeded cells do not survive displacement. ""


Of course you omitted the conclusion of the authors of the manuscript you cited, which was

""Overall, based on the findings of this review, the likelihood of tumour recurrence as a consequence of a biopsy procedure appears very low. Nevertheless, vigilance from both surgeons and radiologists for this potential complication is still advised. However, this knowledge should not interfere with surgical techniques that may benefit the patient by limiting procedural morbidity and improved cosmesis. Anxious patients, who may inquire about this potential complication, can be reassured that, although it does occur at a microscopic level, the clinical effect appears negligible and biopsy as a cause of disease recurrence appears very rare.""
