Fine-needle aspiration allows sampling of tissues without surgical biopsy. This technique provides accuracy, speed, patient acceptance, and individual cells for the study of neoplasia. When this procedure is combined with DNA analysis, it is possible to obtain preoperatively additional diagnostic and prognostic information superior to that obtained by clinical and morphologic methods alone. This information is of utmost importance when planning appropriate treatment.
细针穿刺抽吸术可在不进行手术活检的情况下对组织进行取样。该技术具有准确性高、速度快、患者接受度高的特点，还能获取单个细胞用于肿瘤形成的研究。当此操作与DNA分析相结合时，术前有可能获得优于仅通过临床和形态学方法所获得的额外诊断和预后信息。在规划适当的治疗方案时，这些信息至关重要。
