In recent years, cytology has played an increasingly important role
in the diagnosis of disease, particularly those of neoplastic
origin. It is not unusual for cytologic specimens to be the only
diagnostic samples available from patients with cancer. Many
ancillary tests traditionally performed on histologic material are
now being performed on cytologic specimens. One such technique,
immunocytochemistry (ICC), has already proved to be important in
diagnostic tumor pathology. This atlas examines the value of ICC as
well as its limitations in contemporary cytology. Methods have been
refined and high-quality reagents are now available. As a result,
technical problems no longer present a major concern in this field.
This volume will briefly will address the technical aspects of ICC
by providing practical advice for the users and analytical aspects
of ICC, including correct selection of markers for specific
differential diagnoses and incorporation of results in final
cytologic interpretation; illustrate the utilization of ICC in the
resolution of some common diagnostic problems in fine needle
aspiration and body cavity fluid cytology. and most importantly its
utilization in specific differential diagnoses that are based on
cytomorpholoy and patient's clinical history is also discussed.
Finally, the value and limitations of ICC in the detection of
predictive markers of cancer and potential treatment targets will
be reviewed. This practical handbook will allow for quick reference
in the selection and interpretation of markers in specific
differential diagnostic in the daily practice of diagnostic
cytology.
