UNLABELLED Context or Background: CA125 is a biomarker that has potential utility across the spectrum: risk assessment, early detection, diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring and therapy. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to establish the validity and reliability of correlation of CA125 serum level with immunochemistry expression in imprint cytology and tissues for diagnostic purpose. ...

Tissue diagnostic techniques based on optical spectroscopy, in various incarnations, are approaching clinical reality for intraoperative guidance of surgical procedures. Examination of tissue properties by elastic light-scattering spectroscopy may constitute a preferable alternative to frozen-section pathology or touch imprint cytology for intraoperative assessment of resection margins during b...

Objective. Non-neoplastic and neoplastic mucosal lesions from orophayngolaryngeal region constitute a major health problem in developing countries. Carcinoma of this region is the commonest neoplasm in male in our country. The study was aimed at testing for the accuracy of cytological diagnosis as well as morphometry analysis and compared with histopathology in order to see whether the correlat...

BACKGROUND In the intraoperative consultation of ovarian tumors, the histological diagnosis of frozen sections (FS) of large tumors is frequently difficult because of the limited number of tumor samples. The application of imprint cytology (IC), in which samples are obtained from wide areas of the tumors, is useful for intraoperative consultation. However, the useful aspects of IC have not been...
