Abstract:
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a technique largely applied in the diagnosis of tumours. FNA is a safe diagnostic procedure that is widely employed in the examination of masses at relatively low cost and minimal risk to the patient. In this review, we report on the state-of-the-art and the potential role of FNA to search for protein biomarkers by the proteomic approach.
