EVALUATION OF RESULTS CYTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PERITONEAL LAVAGE FLUID IN COLORECTAL CANCER SURGERY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Review the results of cytological analysis of the peritoneal lavage fluid & investigate the relationship of some histopathological features with the presence of tumor cells in the peritoneal lavage fluid in colorectal cancer surgery stage II-III. Methods: Prospective cross – sectional description. Results: Statistics showed that there were 3% of cases of tumor cell presence in peritoneal lavage fluid and routine cytostaining and cell-block techniques were commonly performed (98,5%). The cytological diagnosis method applied was related to the status of peritoneal lavage fluid (p<0.05). However, survey of histopathological characteristics only recorded the histological type - mucinous adenocarcinoma (p<0.05) which is related to the status of peritoneal lavage fluid in colorectal cancer surgery stage II-III.(the difference was statistically significant). Conclusion: The rate of positive peritoneal lavage in colorectal cancer surgery stage II-III is relatively low (3%) and only the histological type factor (mucinous adenocarcinoma) is associated with peritoneal lavage fluid status.
