No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cytopathologists work along with radiologist in the diagnosis of lesions. Rapid on site interpretation (ROSE) of fine needle aspiration (FNA) smears of radiologically suspicious lesions is a common clinical practice. In the last years, the investigators have seen trend towards needle core biopsies of radiologically suspicious lesions. The investigators want to analyze the challenges of rapid on site interpretation of touch imprints (TI) of needle core biopsies (NCB) versus fine needle aspiration smears.
