Student researcher University of Oklahoma Research 11/2019 - 08/2022 Oklahoma City, OK This project examined the histologic features of breast tumors following needle biopsy and explored associations with comorbidities and time to surgery. We analyzed 73 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, surgically resected tumors with visible needle tracts. All patients were procedure-naïve, Stage I–II, and underwent surgery as first-line treatment. My role involved medical chart review and data organization. We collected data on age, race/ethnicity, comorbidities, tumor characteristics (stage, Nottingham grade, subtype), and biopsy-to-surgery interval. We found consistent presence of inflammatory cells, especially histiocytes, in the needle tract regardless of timing. Future studies will assess links to clinical outcomes.
