  • Title: The reliability of frozen-section diagnosis in various breast lesions: a study based on 3451 biopsies.
    Author: Agnantis NJ, Apostolikas N, Christodoulou I, Petrakis C, Garas J.
    Journal: Recent Results Cancer Res; 1984; 90():205-10. PubMed ID: 6701377.
    Abstract:
    In this study, we analyze breast biopsy material over a 5-year period and we compare the results of frozen-section diagnosis with the corresponding diagnosis of the permanent histologic sections. In this study, which represents the largest series in the available international literature, it is proven that frozen-section diagnosis of various breast lesions is a highly accurate procedure in spite of the difficulties facing the pathologist with the frequent borderline or premalignant lesions. The great responsibility of the pathologist is emphasized.
