Abstract (Eng)

This year's last issue of the journal Onkologija included an article entitled “Biopsy of resectable liver metastases of colorectal cancer – an unnecessary and dangerous method”. In this article, the authors warn against the use of fine-needle biopsy (FNB) of liver metastases of colorectal cancer (CC), as this procedure could threaten the survival of patients. In this article, we want to highlight the shortcomings of the previously mentioned article and warn against the sensational title of the poorly written article which imposes its message on the readers without any clear justification.
