Improving cytological diagnostic accuracy.
offers a safe, simple way of obtaining highly reliable samples. Since material is excised instead of being aspirated, complete cell clusters are obtained rather than single cells. As a result, at least 95% diagnostic accuracy has been obtained using Rotex for sampling lung tumours(2) and non-palpable breast tumours(9). The diameter of the instrument cannula is 0.8 or 1.0 mm, which explains the low incidence of reported complications(2).
