Description

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was described and practiced by Martin and Ellis in 1930. All detected breast lesions are not malignant and all the benign masses do not progress to cancer; nevertheless the precision of the final diagnosis can be greatly increased by radiological imaging (mammography, ultrasonography) and pathological diagnosis.6 Breast cancer accounts for the most common cause of cancer related death in women. Method – The study was designed at Department of Pathology, Siddhanta Red Cross Hospital, a tertiary health care center in urban area of central India. The study was carried during August 2018 to July 2020. The study was approved by ethical committee. Informed consent was obtained from the patient. FNAC is an effective modality for the diagnosis of breast lesions. It is a safe, simple, and cost effective outpatient procedure associated with negligible complications. It helps the clinicians for early diagnosis and specific management thus reducing morbidity and mortality.

 

 

 

Abstract (English)

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was described and practiced by Martin and Ellis in 1930. All detected breast lesions are not malignant and all the benign masses do not progress to cancer; nevertheless the precision of the final diagnosis can be greatly increased by radiological imaging (mammography, ultrasonography) and pathological diagnosis.6 Breast cancer accounts for the most common cause of cancer related death in women. Method – The study was designed at Department of Pathology, Siddhanta Red Cross Hospital, a tertiary health care center in urban area of central India. The study was carried during August 2018 to July 2020. The study was approved by ethical committee. Informed consent was obtained from the patient. FNAC is an effective modality for the diagnosis of breast lesions. It is a safe, simple, and cost effective outpatient procedure associated with negligible complications. It helps the clinicians for early diagnosis and specific management thus reducing morbidity and mortality.
