    • Existing cytoiogical and radiological services enabled the introduction of transthoracic fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in Johannesburg in 1983. The results achieved in the first 500 patients subjected to this procedure are presented, together with histological and clinical correlation. Of a total of 330 malignant tumours in this series, 306 were successfully sampled by FNA. Sensitivity of the technique in malignant disease was 92,7%, with 98,8% specificity. Positive and negative predictive… CONTINUE READING
