  • Title: A cytological study of mammary disease.
    Author: Webb AJ.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1975 Apr; 56(4):181-91. PubMed ID: 803095.
    Abstract:
    An analysis is presented of 887 cytological biopsies performed on 610 patients with mammary disease, including 510 fine needle aspirations. Technical details of fine needle biopsy, imprints, and scrape-smears are provided, together with both histological and cytological descriptions. The case material has been classified into 6 series, the most important being a clinicocytological study in which fine needle biopsy achieved a 96.2% accuracy rate in respect of breast cancer. The status of cytology in the clinical management of mammary disease is evaluated.
