A device and method of use for securing and coring of tumors within the body during a biopsy of the tumor, specifically breast tumors. An adhesion probe for securing the tumor is described. The probe secures the tumor by piercing the tumor and providing a coolant to the distal tip to cool the tip. The cooled tip adheres to the tumor. A coring instrument adapted for cutting a core sample of the tumor is described. The instrument is provided with a cannula that can cut a core sample of the tumor. The instrument is adapted for use with the probe with the probe fitting within the cannula. The instrument can be used in conjunction with the probe to secure and core a sample of the tumor for biopsy.

The present invention provides an in vitro method for the diagnosis and / or prognosis of clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma in a subject suspected of suffering it, in which method the presence and levels of a phosphorylated form of the protein Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) are determined. Said determination is performed in any isolated sample, in particular in a biopsy of a tumor. The invention relates also to the use of means for detecting said phosphorylated form to be applied in the method for the diagnosis and / or prognosis of clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

A device for preventing tumor spread after bone tumor biopsy, which belongs to medical equipment, includes a blocking body used to block the puncture needle path after biopsy, the blocking body is made of water-absorbing and expandable materials, and the outer surface Threads are provided; one end of the blocking body is the blocking end, and the maximum diameter of the blocking end is smaller than the diameter of the puncture needle; the other end of the blocking body is the operating end, and the operating end is provided with a device that can move along the axial direction of the blocking body. Insert the socket or handle of the operation wrench; the maximum diameter of the operation end is larger than the diameter of the puncture needle; the middle part of the plugging body is a concave connecting column, and the connecting column, the blocking end and the operating end are all Smooth transition; the blocking end is coated with an anticancer drug layer. It blocks the needle track left by puncture after biopsy, which can prevent local diffusion and metastasis caused by the outflow of tumor from the needle track to the surrounding of the puncture port, and has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

The invention discloses a tumor biopsy penetrator and belongs to the field of medical apparatuses. The tumor biopsy penetrator comprises a medical liquid cylinder body, an outer knife cylinder body and an inner knife cylinder body which sleeve each other from outside to inside, the work ends of the outer knife cylinder body and the inner knife cylinder body are provided with a hook knife and a cutter respectively, and an annular airbag is arranged on the inner wall of the medical liquid cylinder body at the work end; a medical liquid cavity is formed in the medical liquid cylinder body, the medical liquid cavity is communicated with a medicine injection opening, the medical liquid cylinder body is also internally provided with a pushing and injection piston, and the outer knife cylinder body is internally provided with a conductive member connected with an electric interface; a cutter receiving groove and a sampling cavity are formed in the inner knife cylinder body, the cutter receiving groove is rotatably connected to the cutter, a steel wire rope is fixed to the tail end of the cutter, a convex flange is arranged on the side of the cutter, the sampling cavity is communicated with the cutter receiving groove through a bar-shaped hole 2 in the top of the sampling cavity, and the shape of the bar-shaped hole 2 is matched with that of the flange. The tumor biopsy penetrator canprevent proliferation of tumor cells and prevent cross infection, has higher safety, does not cause damage to healthy cells, and achieves drug intervention treatment.
