Exclusion Criteria7

  • You are less than five years old

  • You have a neutrophil count (type of white blood cell) less than 1500/mm3, platelet count less than 50,000/mm3, or a hemoglobin less than 7 g/dL
  • You have an uncontrolled disease that could prevent you from completing the study procedures
  • You have an active infection at or near the potential biopsy site, have poor circulation, or have bony prominence or other structure that would increase your risk of complications if you participated in this study
