Role of Argyrophilic Nucleolar Organiser Region Staining in Effusions for Detection of Malignancy - Diagnostic Test Evaluation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
The frequency of AgNORs within the nuclei is higher in malignant cells than in normal, reactive or benign neoplastic cells. 80 serous effusions received in the Cytology Lab during the study period, which could be proved as benign or malignant by biopsy were included & AgNOR study was done. Statistically significant difference was noted in AgNOR size, count, dispersion & mean AgNOR value between benign & malignant effusions. AgNOR study appears to be clinically useful as an additional diagnostic tool in serous effusion when the cytologic diagnosis is difficult.
