BSCC Code of Practice – fine needle aspiration cytology

Abstract: The British Society for Clinical Cytology Code of Practice on fine needle aspiration cytology complements that on exfoliative cytopathology, which was published in the last issue (Cytopathology 2009;20:211-23). Both have been prepared with wide consultation within and outside the BSCC and have been endorsed by the Royal College of Pathologists. A separate code of practice for gynaecological cytopathology is in preparation. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is an accepted first line investigation for mass l… Show more

The primary objective is both to triage patients, that is, to determine whether or not surgical intervention is indicated, and to assist in deciding the appropriate surgical procedure when necessary [4,9,10,11,12,13,14]. Despite a long history of clinical application of FNA in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules and attempts by several professional organizations to clarify appropriate utilization, terminology, diagnostic criteria, post-FNA follow-up, and therapeutic options, until relatively recently no universally accepted guidelines for reporting or recommendations for management existed.…”

“…1,2,4,[7][8][9][10][11] This concept requires the presence of a cytotechnician or a cytopathologist during EUS-FNA. Slide preparation needs skill and experience, 12 which is provided by ROSE, because slides are prepared by an experienced technician or pathologist. The specimen is stained immediately and analysed in the endoscopy room to assess quality and abundance of the material, but also Correspondence: B.
