Breast Fine-Needle Aspiration: A Comparison of ThinPrep and Conventional Smears [PDF]
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of the breast has been used in our institution since 1969. In August 1993, ThinPrep (Cytyc Corp, Boxbotough, MA) processing of breast FNA biopsy specimens was introduced. Comparing conventionally prepared breast FNA specimens (21,193 cases) with ThinPrep processed material (7,903 cases) shows a decrease in the ...
