Peritoneal washing cytology in gynecologic cancers: long-term follow-up of 355 patients.
BACKGROUND Microscopic evaluation of cells washed from the peritoneal cavity during surgery for gynecologic tumors is used to detect subclinical intraperitoneal metastases from these tumors. The prognostic significance of this test, however, has been questioned. PURPOSE Stressing histologic correlation and pitfalls in interpretation, we previously reported that the sensitivity of intraoperati...
متن کاملPrognostic value of peritoneal washing cytology in gynecologic malignancies: a controversial issue.
PURPOSE To evaluate the prognostic impact of peritoneal washing cytology in patients with endometrial and ovarian cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified 86 individuals with ovarian carcinomas, ovarian borderline tumors and endometrial adenocarcinomas. The patients had been treated at Shahid Sadoughi Hospital and Ramazanzadeh Radiotherapy Center, Yazd, Iran between 2004 a...
متن کاملRe: Peritoneal washing cytology in gynecologic cancers: long-term follow-up of 355 patients.
Zuna and Behrens (7) reported that peritoneal cytology was rarely positive in patients who otherwise had pathologic stage I disease. This rules out a meaningful role for peritoneal washings in terms of therapeutic decision making. Far more significant is the danger of false-positive interpretation (because a large number of benign conditions might be reported as positive cytology due to subopti...
متن کاملRole of peritoneal washing cytology in ovarian malignancies: correlation with histopathological parameters
BACKGROUND Peritoneal dissemination of ovarian tumors is a major prognostic parameter in ovarian malignancies. Analysis of peritoneal washing cytology serves as a useful predictor of ovarian surface involvement and peritoneal metastasis even in the absence of clinical omental spread. The aim of the current study is to correlate peritoneal cytology with various histologic features of ovarian can...
متن کاملPeritoneal washing cytology of ovarian tumors of low malignant potential: correlation with surface ovarian involvement and peritoneal implants.
OBJECTIVE To correlate the cytologic diagnoses of peritoneal washings (PWs) with histologic findings of ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (LMP). METHODS PW cytology from 90 patients with histologically confirmed ovarian tumors of LMP were reviewed and correlated with histologic findings. RESULTS In 90 LMP tumor patients who underwent PW, cytologic diagnoses were reported as positive...
