## 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

## Abstract The management of breast disease has been influenced by breast imaging and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for preoperative diagnosis. To investigate the impact of introducing an in-clinic FNAC service on patient management, the pathology records of patients presenting before and
## Background: Judicious utilization of fine-needle aspiration cytology (fnac) and 14-gauge core needle biopsy (cb) theoretically should result in greater accuracy in breast carcinoma diagnosis and fewer unnecessary open surgical biopsies (osbs), thus lowering health care costs. ## Methods: In 19
