Needle aspiration with immediate cytological reporting has been practised in a breast clinic for one year. Patients benefit by receiving immediately the provisional diagnosis and, when indicated, appointments for metastatic surveys. Close co-operation between surgeon and cytologist has resulted in increased skill in aspiration, better preparation of samples, and greater accuracy in interpretation of reports. Since 5% of clinically benign lesions have proved malignant, even on immediate reporting, we would recommend cytological examination of all breast lumps.
在一家乳腺诊所，针吸活检并即时进行细胞学报告已开展了一年。患者因能立即获得初步诊断并在必要时获得转移性检查预约而受益。外科医生和细胞学家之间的密切合作提高了穿刺技能、改进了样本制备，并提高了报告解读的准确性。由于即使即时报告，仍有5%临床诊断为良性的病变被证实为恶性，因此我们建议对所有乳腺肿块进行细胞学检查。
