Imprint Cytology of Lymph Nodes*
Imprints or touch preparations were prepared from lymph nodes in 57 cases. Comparison with histological sections showed a high degree of accuracy (94.7%) in diagnosis. They are simple to prepare and no special equipment is needed. They can be a useful adjunct to histologic sections after surgery (JPMA 30:266, 1980).
متن کاملPathological assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes in lung cancer: implications for non-invasive mediastinal staging.
BACKGROUND The use of computed tomography in mediastinal staging of lung cancer relies on the premiss that malignant lymph nodes are larger than benign ones. This hypothesis was tested by linking node size and presence or absence of malignancy and looking at factors possibly influencing the size of benign nodes. METHODS All accessible mediastinal lymph nodes were taken from 56 consecutive pat...
متن کاملEvaluation of ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with lung cancer.
Accurate lymph nodal staging of lung cancer is critical for determining the treatment options. With the help of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computer tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET/CT), the clinician can rule out/in the regional lymph nodes positive for metastasis in the patients with lung cancer in a majority of cases. However, a small proportion of cases with false positiv...
متن کاملIs intraoperative touch imprint cytology of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer cost effective?
BACKGROUND Sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are generally evaluated postoperatively, requiring 5-7 days for assessment. SLNs can also be evaluated intraoperatively by using touch imprint cytology (TIC), thus providing the surgeon immediate feedback and allowing for concurrent completion node dissection (CND) for positive SLNs. The authors hypothesized that TIC, when compared with standard postoperat...
متن کاملMediastinal spread of metastatic lymph nodes in bronchogenic carcinoma. Mediastinal nodal metastases in lung cancer.
The location, frequency, and spread of metastases to the mediastinal lymph nodes were examined in 124 patients with histologically proven N2 disease who underwent pulmonary resection and total lymph node resection. There were one-level metastases in 47 percent of cases, two-level metastases in 29 percent, three-level in 12 percent, and 12 percent had four or more levels of metastases. Nodal met...
