Immunocytochemical Analysis of Estrogen Receptors on Fine Needle Aspirates of Mammary Carcinoma.
Biomedica Jan ;14:108-10.
Fine needle aspiration cytology smears from 31 cases of carcinoma of the breast were stained immunocytochemically for oestrogen receptors and compared with paraffin sections. It showed a high degree of specificity (91.7%) and sensitivity of (94.7%). This study indicates that oestrogen receptor status can be carried out reliably on tine needle aspiration cytology smears.
