Lint: peripheral-nerve-sheath-tumour-1

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Pre-surgical biopsy of peripheral nerve sheath tumours (usually an ultrasound-guided core biopsy) is typically reserved for lesions with indeterminate or malignant clinical and/or radiological features; the risk of biopsy (e.g. new/worsening neuropathic pain or sensory/motor impairment) outweighs the benefit of biopsy in suspected benign peripheral nerve sheath tumours 10,11."

Line 62:4 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Pre-surgical'.
