Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a quick, accurate, cost-effective office procedure that increases the diagnostic usefulness of breast examination. It is a technique best used at initial discovery of a lesion. Its sensitivity, ranging from 90 to 97 percent in large series, depends on two factors: biopsy performance and interpretation. To attain a high sensitivity for this procedure, a team approach that includes the physician, pathologist and radiologist is essential.
Distinguishing between early breast cancer and benign conditions, which are much more common, can be difficult. Careful clinical examination and directed imaging, supported by fine needle aspiration cytology, provide a high level of diagnostic accuracy.
