Abstract The accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology has been assessed in 480 consecutive breast lesions where definitive histology was later available. The results in terms of specificity and sensitivity have also been compared to mammography and clinical examination. With adequate smears aspir
## Fine needle aspiration biopsy for cytological examination ( F N A C ) is becoming increasingly accepted as a means of tissue diagnosis in breast disease. This study examines the feasibility and accuracy of FNAC in 'immediate reporting' by a consultant cytopathologist in a busy breast clinic. Ov
## BACKGROUND. Assessment of cytologic features that allow accurate classification of proliferative breast disease has been hampered by sampling errors when fineneedle aspirations have been compared with their corresponding histologic sections. ## METHODS. To allow for optimal cytohistologic corr
Abstract In women over the age of 35 years, an accurate diagnosis of breast cancer can be made in over 95 per cent of patients using a βtriple assessmentβ system collating information from clinical examination, mammography, sonomammography, and fine-needle aspiration cytology. These methods have not
