THE USAGE OF CYTOLOGICAL MATERIAL FOR DIAGNOSTICS OF LUNG CANCER

Abstract
The article shows the possibilities of the usage of cytological material for diagnostics of lung cancer at the example of work of an oncological outpatient clinic during one year. Light microscopy was used to study of cytological specimens of various material of 721 patients. The method has allowed to determine the diagnosis of lung cancer in majority of the observed cases with definition of histological type in 89%. When comparing the results of cytology with the final diagnosis the difference of determination of the tumor histological types is less than 1%. The immunocytochemical test is used at the examination of pleural fluid of 40 patients without determined primary locus. The immunocytochemical research has allowed specifying the inhering of the tumor cells to the metastasis from the lung, elevating the precision of the diagnostics to 96%. The cytological material of 62 patients obtained during the bronchoscopic examination, puncture of lymphatic nodules, pleural fluid and sputum with presence of a sufficient quantity of tumor cells (not less than 200) represents appropriate material for molecular-genetic research. The usage of cytological material for search of somatic mutations is justified for oncological patients with locally advanced or disseminated process, whose cytological material is the unique accessible morphological material for research.
