Fine needle aspiration cytology of palpable breast lesions

R De Freitas Jr et al. Br J Clin Pract. 1992 Autumn.

Abstract

Fine needle aspiration cytology is a safe diagnostic technique for breast cancer and can identify certain benign lesions, which can be excised without affecting surrounding tissue. The combination of experienced operator and cytologist can yield high sensitivity and specificity, together with important prognostic information.
