Discussion

Biomed Sci Apr 4, 2008:
Two hundred,..., pregnant patients with.. (ASCUS) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LGSIL) on Papanicolaou smear underwent colposcopy and endocervical evaluation. Directed biopsies were performed on 64 patients.
Cecilia Paris (asker) Apr 4, 2008:
More context: Si la citología es de LEIBG (Lesión intraepitelial escamosa de bajo grado) la colposcopía es satisfactoria y existe evidencia de lesión, se debe tomar una biopsia dirigida.
Cecilia Paris (asker) Apr 4, 2008:
The document is from Mexico, for USA. All the references I found for "guided biopsy" are accompanied by the element used for guidance (CT-guided/Ultrasound-guided, etc.). No instance of "biopsia dirigida" in the document indicate any of these methods. Which is why I thought of targeted biopsy, but I am not sure.

directed biopsy

I would use "directed biopsy" since it is widely used in similar contexts. For instance colposcopy-directed biopsy, HL-directed biopsy or just directed biopsy.

"We evaluated the value of directed biopsy for the detection of prostate cancer during contrast-enhanced endorectal sonography"
http://www.ajronline.org/cgi/content/abstract/178/4/915

"A colposcopy-directed biopsy is a procedure in which the cervix is examined with a colposcope for abnormalities and a tissue sample is taken"
http://www.umm.edu/imagepages/17041.htm

Dear Cecilia,
Since you are looking for a term used in the USA, with no mention of the method, here is another example of "DIRECTED BIOPSY" used alone:
From the American Journal of Roentgenology: Title "Directed Biopsy During Contrast-Enhanced Sonography of the Prostate"
"We evaluated the value of directed biopsy for the detection of prostate cancer during contrast-enhanced endorectal sonography"
http://www.ajronline.org/cgi/content/abstract/178/4/915
