This book focuses primarily on the most efficient way to make an
accurate FNA diagnosis of metastatic tumors within the broad
confines of cytopathology. The text provides a step-by-step
“thought process” during the diagnostic approach of the
metastatic tumors using detailed algorithms. Starting from the
onsite immediate FNA sample assessment, the book provides
strategy of specimen triage to facilitate further cytology
evaluation based on the metastatic patterns and morphologic
patterns of the tumors. In the subsequent chapter, the book
provides tips and traps of selecting markers and interpretation
of immunoperoxidase, flow cytometric, cytogenetic and molecular
studies. The book includes the strategy of dealing with limited
FNA material and wisely use existing samples (cell block, direct
smear, cytospin) for different ancillary studies including
molecular tests that have been used at MD Anderson. The author
highlights challenging issues to show the importance of using a
multidisciplinary (clinical, radiologic, cytologic and ancillary
studies) approach. Extensive illustrations are provided.
