How sure can a rad and pathologist be when doing a fna that it's prob ok just by looking at it?

Sampling: Radiologist can try to ensure that the needle aspiration is done from the lesion. Pathologist can read individual cells and tell if the cells are benign or malignant. If the pathologist finds malignant cells, the diagnosis is definitive. If malignant cells are not seen, it may be because there is no cancer or that cancer cells were not aspirated by the needle.
