Fine needle aspiration (FNA) may be used to study breast lesions in patients that do not have access to more complex procedures during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Furthermore, FNA can be a helpful screening method in the post‐pandemic era when a greater number of patients than usual with delayed treatment can overburden clinics and hospitals.
在新冠疫情期间,对于无法进行更复杂检查的患者,细针穿刺抽吸术(FNA)可用于研究乳腺病变。此外,在疫情后时代,当延迟治疗的患者数量比往常更多,可能使诊所和医院不堪重负时,FNA可以作为一种有用的筛查方法。
