The paper underlines the importance of early diagnosis in the treatment of breast tumours and emphasises the value of cytodiagnosis as a very sensitive and specific predictive method for detecting impalpable lesions. In conclusion, the Authors affirm that cytodiagnosis, together with the introduction of new diagnostic instruments such as the TRC Mammotest, allows the diagnostic and therapeutical approach to impalpable breast tumours to be improved. It adds to the already high sensitivity of mammography and to the high predictive specificity of cytology, thus contributing to the reduction of the so-called "bioptic cost".
该论文强调了早期诊断在乳腺肿瘤治疗中的重要性，并强调了细胞诊断作为检测不可触及病变的一种非常敏感且特异的预测方法的价值。总之，作者们断言，细胞诊断与诸如TRC乳腺检测等新诊断仪器的引入，能够改进对不可触及乳腺肿瘤的诊断和治疗方法。它提高了乳腺X线摄影已有的高灵敏度以及细胞学的高预测特异性，从而有助于降低所谓的“活检成本”。
