A breast FNA cytology service for palpable breast lumps was commenced in 1989 using the cytospin method. Over the following 6 years 2314 aspirates were received. The results were audited in detail in 1990, 1991/1992 and 1994. Multidisciplinary clinical audit meetings followed each audit cycle. Practice change was agreed after each audit. Each audit cycle was followed by demonstrable improvement in the complete sensitivity of the technique, being respectively 79%, 88% and 96%. The cytospin method is a viable alternative to the conventional smear method.
