Touch Imprint Intraoperative Flow Cytometry as a Complementary Tool for Detailed Assessment of Resection Margins and Tumor Biology in Liver Surgery for Primary and Metastatic Liver Neoplasms
Liver resection is the main treatment for primary and metastatic liver tumors in order to achieve long-term survival with good quality of life. The ultimate goal of surgical oncology is to achieve complete tumor removal with adequate clear surgical margins. Flow cytometry is a powerful analytical te...

description | Liver resection is the main treatment for primary and metastatic liver tumors in order to achieve long-term survival with good quality of life. The ultimate goal of surgical oncology is to achieve complete tumor removal with adequate clear surgical margins. Flow cytometry is a powerful analytical technique with applications such as phenotypic analysis and quantification of DNA content. Intraoperative flow cytometry (iFC) is the application of flow cytometry for DNA content/ploidy and cell cycle distribution analysis during surgery for tumor cell analysis and margin evaluation. It has been used for cell analysis of intracranial tumors and recently of head and neck carcinomas and breast carcinomas, as well as for tumor margin evaluation. Herein, we present a novel touch imprint iFC protocol for the detailed assessment of tumor margins during excision of malignant hepatic lesions. The protocol aims to offer information on surgical margins after removal of malignant liver tumors based on DNA content of cancer cells and to corroborate the results of iFC with that of histopathological analysis. Based on the established role of iFC in other types of malignancies, our specialized protocol has the potential, through characterization of cells in liver transection surface post hepatectomy, to offer significant information on the type of resection and tumor biology. This information can be used to effectively guide intra- and postoperative patient management. |
