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 کاملACCURACY OF INTRAOPERATIVE FROZEN SECTION DIAGNOSIS AND TOUCH IMPRINT CYTOLOGY: STUDY ON 1000 CONSECUTIVE CASES
Frozen section and touch imprint cytology are important diagnostic procedures for surgeons during operation and must be accurate if the patient is to receive maximum benefit. To assess the accuracy of intraoperative pathologic consultation including frozen section and touch imprint cytology during a five year period (1995- 2000), a retrospective survey of 1000 consecutive cases of frozen s...
متن کاملTouch imprint cytology and frozen-section analysis for intraoperative evaluation of sentinel nodes in early breast cancer.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is currently the suggested axillary staging procedure in patients with early-stage breast cancer (BC) and usually requires intraoperative frozen-section (FS) examination of the removed nodes. However, other techniques, such as touch imprint cytology (IC), real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and rapid cytokeratin immunostaining on FS may be...

متن کاملRole of imprint cytology in intraoperative diagnosis: value and limitations.
Imprints prepared from fresh surgical specimens give excellent cytological clarity. Used intraoperatively, the imprint method can provide valuable information when frozen-section interpretation is equivocal. However, cytologically well-differentiated tumours and tumours with a dense fibrous stroma, constituting 6% of the cases in the present series, cannot be diagnosed by this method. To increa...
