FNA biopsy is a quick, safe, and inexpensive method for obtaining material for pathological diagnosis. It is most useful in the diagnosis of a malignant tumor. In experienced hands it is highly accurate, and many of the pitfalls in cytological interpretation can be avoided with increased practice. Special training is required to become proficient in both obtaining and interpreting aspirated material. It is not sufficient for pathologists to apply personal experience from tissue pathology to the diagnosis of cytological specimens. Current indications are the FNA biopsy will be used with increasing frequency for reasons involving both clinical practice and cost containment.
细针穿刺抽吸活检是一种获取病理诊断材料的快速、安全且经济的方法。它在恶性肿瘤的诊断中最为有用。在经验丰富的医生手中，其准确性很高，并且随着实践的增加，许多细胞学解释中的陷阱是可以避免的。要熟练掌握获取和解释抽吸材料，需要接受专门培训。病理学家仅将组织病理学的个人经验应用于细胞学标本的诊断是不够的。目前的迹象表明，由于临床实践和成本控制等原因，细针穿刺抽吸活检的使用频率将越来越高。
