Is 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 کاملImprint cytology of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer. Experience with rapid, intraoperative diagnosis and primary screening by cytotechnologists.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the intraoperative imprint diagnoses of smears from sentinel lymph nodes that had been primary screened by cytotechnologists and to assess the most important causes of false negative (FN) imprint diagnoses. STUDY DESIGN Material consisted of 429 imprints from sentinel lymph nodes in 211 breast cancer patients that were sent for frozen section examination over 13 months. ...

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 کاملImprint cytology versus frozen section analysis for intraoperative assessment of sentinel lymph node in breast cancer
INTRODUCTION Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is the gold standard for surgical staging of the axilla in breast cancer (BC). Frozen section (FS) remains the most popular means of intraoperative SLN diagnosis. Imprint cytology (IC) has also been suggested as a less expensive and equally accurate alternative to FS. The aim of our study was to perform a direct comparison between IC and FS on the s...
متن کاملIntraoperative examination of sentinel lymph nodes using scrape cytology.
Background. In breast cancer, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is widely used to assess the axilla when the nodes appear normal on palpation and ultrasonography. When the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are negative, no further dissection is required. Surgical dissection or radiotherapy of the axilla is indicated for macrometastases, as well as adjuvant therapy for macrometastases and micrometasta...
