169 Use of fine needle aspiration supernatant from lung carcinoma for PCR sequencing: does the collecting medium make a difference? Open
Introduction/Objective The emergence of personalized treatment and molecular sequencing has transformed the management of advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Cytologic samples are a reliable source of DNA for molecular testing,…

Reproducibility and Diagnostic Utility of a Simplified Oil Red O Test in Infant Bronchoalveolar Lavage Samples Open
Introduction Aspiration in infants is a diagnostic challenge. The lipid‐laden macrophage index (LLMI) developed in 1987 has been used as a supportive test; however, numerous recent studies have questioned its value and reproducibility. We …

Utilization of direct smears of thyroid fine‐needle aspirates for ancillary molecular testing: A comparison of two proprietary testing platforms Open
Background Ancillary molecular testing has been recommended for thyroid fine‐needle aspirates (FNA) with indeterminate cytologic diagnoses. Rosetta Genomics and Interpace Diagnostics have developed assays that can utilize direct smears as …

Improvements in cell block processing: The Cell‐Gel method Open
BACKGROUND The ability to produce adequate cell blocks profoundly impacts the diagnostic usefulness of cytology specimens. Cell blocks are routinely processed from fine‐needle aspiration specimens or concentrated fluid samples. Obtaining d…

Utilization of Cell-Transfer Technique for Molecular Testing on Hematoxylin-Eosin–Stained Sections: A Viable Option for Small Biopsies That Lack Tumor Tissues in Paraffin Block Open
Context.— In some instances the standard method of doing molecular testing from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded block is not possible because of limited tissue. Tumor cell–enriched cell-transfer technique has been proven useful for perfo…
