| Popis: |
Exfoliative cytology is often challenging. Correct diagnosis can be significantly enhanced by the use of cellblocks and immunocytochemical assays. This updated chapter offers panels of immunocytochemical assays that are designed to assist in differentiating commonly encountered processes in effusions. For example, adenocarcinomas of the lung or breast can be difficult to distinguish from reactive mesothelial cells or from epithelioid mesotheliomas using morphology alone. Other commonly encountered dilemmas include classifying malignant cells of undetermined primary sites. Undifferentiated tumor cells may also be tricky and panels to initiate classification are provided. Details for producing an adequate cellblock are discussed. |
