- W2017632088 abstract "Background: Immunocytology substantially improves the diagnostic accuracy of conventional cytology in the diagnosis of carcinomatous effusions. Due to the unequivocal characterization of the various cell populations, a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 100% was achieved by immunocytology, examining samples of 1234 serous effusions. Objective: Cytology plays a central role in the aetiological clarification of serous effusions. The sensitivity of this method for the diagnosis of carcinomatous effusions varies between 40% and 80%. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether immunocytology substantially improves the diagnostic quality of the cytological examination in the diagnosis of carcinomatous effusions. Method: Consecutive serous effusions were examined by conventional cytology and by immunocytology. The immunocytological examination was performed on smears, using a standard panel of three antibodies against pancytokeratin, human epithelial antigen 125 and calretinin. Results: Altogether, 1234 effusion samples were examined. A total of 603 effusions were caused by carcinomas, five by malignant mesotheliomas, 11 by malignant lymphomas and 615 by non‐malignant disorders. In conventional cytology, carcinomatous effusions were correctly diagnosed in 314 samples, corresponding to a sensitivity of 52%. In 31 specimens (5%) tumour cells without further specification were described and in 161 samples (27%) the presence of tumour cells was suspected (84% overall sensitivity). A total of 97 carcinomatous effusions (16%) were diagnosed false‐negatively and 50 (8%) of the 615 non‐malignant effusions false‐positively (92% specificity). In immunocytology, 561 carcinomatous samples were correctly diagnosed, representing a sensitivity of 93%. In six cases (1%) the presence of tumour cells was suspected. A total of 36 carcinomatous effusions (6%) were diagnosed false‐negatively (94% over‐all sensitivity). Out of the 615 non‐malignant specimens, there were no false‐positive diagnoses (100% specificity). Conclusion: Immunocytology is a simple, cost‐effective, routinely practicable method which substantially improves the diagnostic accuracy of conventional cytology in the diagnosis of carcinomatous effusions. Therefore, we recommend the use of immunocytology in all those cases where cytology on its own is not completely unequivocal." @default.
