From July 1982 to December 1987, 519 fine needle aspiration biopsies were performed at the Indianapolis Breast Center. Both the superficial localization and the direct visualization methods were used. The fine needle aspiration biopsy technique (FNAB) was definitive in 92% of malignant masses, with minimum of 6 month follow up to date. The technique significantly alters the traditional approach to the management of breast cancer in that it allows preoperative discussions of options for treatment and eliminates the cost of excisional biopsies before definitive therapy.
1982年7月至1987年12月期间，印第安纳波利斯乳腺中心共进行了519例细针穿刺活检。采用了表面定位和直接可视化两种方法。细针穿刺活检技术（FNAB）在92%的恶性肿块诊断中具有决定性作用，目前至少有6个月的随访结果。该技术显著改变了乳腺癌传统治疗方法，因为它允许在术前讨论治疗方案，并消除了确定性治疗前切除活检的费用。
