title: [Aspiration cytodiagnosis of breast tumors].
abstract: Aspiration biopsy cytology was employed by the authors in 250 cases for pathological changes in the mammary gland, in 183 cases the cytological investigation was followed by the histological one. The method proved to be of diagnostic value in 86% (sensitivity). Together with other methods of clinical diagnostics (palpation, mammography, xeromammography, thermography) the method concerned may widen the diagnostic opportunities and allows getting the information on the morphological nature of the tumor. Due to this, the practical application of this prompt, economic and devoid of any complications method seems to be rational. It is suggested to employ it routinely in the clinical practice.
