“…Fine-needle aspira tion cytology (FNA) of lesions suspected of malignancy on digital rectal examination is equally sensitive and specific to core needle biopsy and clearly a valuable diagnostic modality [2][3][4][5][6], Some authors advocate employing FNA as a screening method for occult carcinoma of the prostate [7][8][9], particularly A2 lesions [10],…”

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy was used to diagnose lesions from the breast, subcutaneous nodules and lymph nodes, prostate, deep masses, lung, and pancreas. Over an eight-year period, 3,267 specimens were examined. The biopsy specimens were taken with 18- to 22-gauge disposable needles with attached syringes, were fixed immediately, and were stained according to the method of Papanicolaou. Frequently, the aspiration was done as an office procedure. The method was essentially complication-free. The biopsy specimen was easy to interpret, and the procedure had an overall accuracy of approximately 90%. It should be used by all clinicians, especially on the initial visit of the patient.

In this retrospective evaluation of 72 cases of fine needle aspiration biopsy of the prostate, 25 aspirates from well-differentiated carcinoma were compared with 27 aspirates from benign prostatic enlargement and 20 aspirates from moderately to poorly differentiated carcinoma. Each case was examined by a single observer (V.K.) for multiple parameters including cellularity, dyshesion, nuclear membrane irregularity, anisonucleosis, macronucleoli (major criteria of malignancy), cell and nuclear enlargement, and altered nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio. Cellularity was the most significant indicator, but all major and minor criteria of malignancy were consistently important for distinguishing well-differentiated carcinoma from benign lesions. Systematic use of these meaningful standards enhances diagnostic sensitivity.
