The authors point out the cytologic test on needle-aspiration report is a method phich, although complementary to clinical examination and mammography, results to be extremely valid and useful for diagnostical purposes and a correct therapeutical programming; they describe the set of instruments and technique they adopted, and point out its easy execution and complete absence of risks. Then, they illustrate the cases they studied, including 86 patient women with both benign and malignant breast pathology, in whom an aspiration biopsy was performed. On the basis of the results obtained, they, as a conclusion, assert the cytologic test with needle-aspiration, although burdened by a fair quantity of false negatives, deserves, for its quick and simple execution, to be included in the breast diagnostical routine, yet without replacing the classic interoperative biopsy for doubtful cases.
作者指出，针吸报告中的细胞学检查是一种方法，尽管它是临床检查和乳腺X线摄影的补充手段，但结果显示其在诊断目的和正确的治疗规划方面极为有效且有用；他们描述了所采用的一套仪器和技术，并指出其易于操作且完全没有风险。然后，他们阐述了所研究的病例，包括86例患有乳腺良性和恶性病变的女性患者，均接受了针吸活检。基于所获得的结果，他们得出结论称，针吸细胞学检查尽管存在一定数量的假阴性结果，但因其操作快速简便，值得纳入乳腺诊断常规流程，不过对于可疑病例，不能替代传统的术中活检。
