Imprint Cytology for Early Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract:Although the diagnosis of BPH (Benign Prostatic hyperplasia) is not difficult but the presence of early carcinoma often goes undetected. Thus imprint cytology becomes immensely valuable by helping in early and accurate diagnosis.This study was carried out in 25 patients presenting with prostatic enlargements, who were undergoing prostatectomy.The results of imprint technique were studied in detail and compared with histopathological studies. Imprints were taken in all 25 cases. There was one unsatisfactory imprint and was subsequently found to be adenocarcinoma on histopathological examination. Out of remaining 24 cases 22 cases were diagnosed correctly as benign hyperplasia and two cases were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma both by imprint and histopathology. Imprint cytology was found to be quick and reliable procedure used for the diagnosis of prostate enlargements in the present series. A correct diagnosis could be made in 24 of 25 cases (96%).There was only one case false negative result. An overall accuracy of 96% could be achieved.The time period to diagnose was considerably less in imprint cytology.
