Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Diagnostic Cytology

Background:

  • Accurate intraoperative assessment of ovarian tumors is critical for surgical management.
  • This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates imprint and scrape cytology for intraoperative risk stratification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of imprint and scrape cytology in distinguishing benign from malignant ovarian tumors during surgery.
  • To provide evidence for the utility of these cytologic techniques in intraoperative decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search identified studies on imprint and scrape cytology for ovarian tumors.
  • Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were pooled using a bivariate random-effects model.
  • Methodological quality was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool.

Main Results:

  • 34 studies with 3318 ovarian tumors were analyzed.
  • Pooled sensitivity for imprint cytology was 89% (specificity 92%); for scrape cytology, it was 89% (specificity 97%).
  • Scrape cytology demonstrated higher diagnostic accuracy, particularly for malignancy detection.

Conclusions:

  • Imprint and scrape cytology are valuable, rapid intraoperative tools for ovarian tumor stratification.
  • These techniques can enhance surgical management, especially in resource-limited environments.
  • Further research with standardized protocols is recommended to optimize clinical utility.
