Ovarian Cytology: An Application of Cytology in an Attempt at the Early Detection of Ovarian Carcinoma

The possibility of detecting pre-clinical ovarian carcinoma by ovarian cytology taken at the time of laparotomy has been studied in 472 patients. Malignant cells have been recovered from ovarian carcinomas but never from macroscopically normal ovaries. It is suggested that this simple, inexpensive t...

Sumario:The possibility of detecting pre-clinical ovarian carcinoma by ovarian cytology taken at the time of laparotomy has been studied in 472 patients. Malignant cells have been recovered from ovarian carcinomas but never from macroscopically normal ovaries. It is suggested that this simple, inexpensive technique of sampling cells from the ovarian surface should be continued to be practised on all occasions at which ovaries present such as at laparotomy or at laparoscopy, as with further experience this technique may prove to be of help in the early diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma.
