Abstract
At the Queen Victoria Medical Centre between 1981 and 1984, 2920 fine needle aspirates of the breast were examined with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 97% and a sensitivity of 80%. This high diagnotic accuracy combined with the ease and complication-free nature of the procedure has meant that fine needle aspiration (FNA) has become an important part of the investigation and management of breast disease within the breast service of the Queen Victoria Medical Centre.Keywords
