We investigated the role and turn around time of rapid staining and immediate interpretation of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for women with palpable breast lesions.
A total of 408 FNAC specimens from 400 patients with palpable breast lesions was analyzed for immediate interpretation and preliminary cytologic diagnosis. All cytological diagnoses were correlated with subsequent alcohol-fixed Papanicolaou-stained slides, mammographic, ultrasonographic and histopathological findings.
Of the 408 specimens, 243 (59.6%) were interpreted as benign, 37 (9.0%) atypical, 22 (5.4%) suspicious, 68 (16.7%) malignant, and 38 (9.3%) unsatisfactory. 132 of 408 (32.4%) had subsequent surgical procedures; the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 88.5, 100, 100, 81.9 and 92.4%, respectively. The average turn around time was 8.6 min. Mammographic results were available in 242 (59.3%) cases, with 112 (46.3%) undergoing surgical excision. In correlation with mammography and surgical pathology, the false-positive rate, false-negative rate, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 1.9, 10.5, 98.1, 89.5 and 95.8%, respectively.
Rapid FNAC interpretation is a useful, effective diagnostic method for palpable breast lesions in our healthcare environment.
我们调查了快速染色及即时判读细针穿刺细胞学检查(FNAC)在有可触及乳腺病变女性中的作用及周转时间。
对400例有可触及乳腺病变患者的408份FNAC标本进行即时判读及初步细胞学诊断分析。所有细胞学诊断均与后续酒精固定巴氏染色玻片、乳腺X线摄影、超声检查及组织病理学结果相关。
408份标本中,243份(59.6%)判为良性,37份(9.0%)非典型,22份(5.4%)可疑,68份(16.7%)恶性,38份(9.3%)不满意。408份中有132份(32.4%)接受了后续手术;敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值、阴性预测值及准确性分别为88.5%、100%、100%、81.9%及92.4%。平均周转时间为8.6分钟。242例(59.3%)有乳腺X线摄影结果,其中112例(46.3%)接受了手术切除。与乳腺X线摄影及手术病理结果相关,假阳性率、假阴性率、敏感性、特异性及准确性分别为1.9%、10.5%、98.1%、89.5%及95.8%。
在我们的医疗环境中,快速FNAC判读是一种用于有可触及乳腺病变的有用且有效的诊断方法。
