Fine needle aspiration cytology is an inexpensive, atraumatic technique for the diagnosis of disease sites. This paper describes the technique and illustrates how it may be applied to the management of tumours throughout the body. The limitations of the method, the dangers of false positive reports, and the inevitability of false negative diagnoses are emphasised. In a clinical context the method has much to offer by saving patients from inappropriate operations and investigations and allowing surgeons to plan quickly and more rationally. It is an economically valuable technique and deserves greater recognition.
细针穿刺细胞学检查是一种用于疾病部位诊断的廉价、无创技术。本文描述了该技术，并举例说明了它如何应用于全身肿瘤的治疗。文中强调了该方法的局限性、假阳性报告的风险以及假阴性诊断的不可避免性。在临床环境中，该方法通过避免患者进行不适当的手术和检查，并使外科医生能够快速且更合理地制定治疗方案，具有很大的优势。它是一项具有经济价值的技术，值得更多的认可。
