An Advanced Biopsy Needle is disclosed that provides both fine needle aspiration and core biopsy with a single insertion, thus reducing trauma and pain to the patient. An inner needle for aspiration and an outer needle for core biopsy are in coaxial relation to each other, thus providing both histology and cytology functions with a single medical device and also with a single insertion. Lateral cutting edges along fenestration openings in the outer needle ensure that adequate tissue samples are taken. A syringe is attached to the inner needle for collection of aspirate.
