The volume deals with cytodiagnosis and interpretation of breast aspirates and of nipple smears. These methods of diagnosis can be performed prior to surgery for cancer of the breast, thereby enabling various treatment options to be discussed with the patient. The revelant histopathology is included for comparison. Special emphasis is placed on the way breast needle aspirate specimens should be reported, and on the importance of fruitful co-operation between pathologist and clinician for achieving accurate interpretation and diagnosis. There is also an important section on monoclonal antibody studies and demonstration of oestrogen receptors in aspirates. It should be useful as a reference book for cytopathologists whose work includes breast aspirates. This book should be of interest to cytopathologists, histopathologists, gynaecologists, gynaecological oncologists, and diagnostic laboratories.
