Micronucleus and its significance in effusion fluids
Conclusions: MN score is higher in malignant effusions when compared with benign effusions. This can be used to differentiate malignant effusions from benign effusions in low resource setting. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

The incidence of free peritoneal tumor cells before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in gastroesophageal junction cancer
Conclusions: The incidence of C1M0 was 3.8% and 0% before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, respectively in patients with gastroesophageal junction cancer. Free peritoneal tumor cells were not identified in several patients with intra-abdominal metastases suggesting that peritoneal washing cytology with conventional cytology and immunohistochemical staining lack sensitivity.

FNAC of breast lesions with special reference to IAC standardized reporting and comparative study of cytohistological grading of breast carcinoma
Conclusion: Cytological categorization based on IAC structured reporting will enhance the reproducibility of reports among pathologist & clinicians. With the comparison between cytohistological nuclear grading, the cytoprognostic scores will help in evaluating the aggressiveness of tumor, predicts histological grade and prognosis. It could be a useful parameter for selecting neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

& #8220;Agar Cell-Suspension & #8221;: A novel technique for processing clear specimens
Conclusions: ACS is an innovative, simple, easy, and cost-effective technique for processing clear specimens. It gives equally good results comparable to cytocentrifugation in terms of cellularity and staining quality. ACS does not cause cell distortion or air-drying as seen in some CS. Thus, ACS is a superior alternative to cytocentrifugation. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Cytological examination plays an important role in the initial work-up of the serous cavity effusion fluids to find out the possible etiology as benign or malignant. Among malignant effusions, cytology is helpful in determining the exact type, site, and stage of the tumor. However, for reporting effusion cytology specimens, there is no consistent and reproducible reporting sy...
