    Summary

    Fine needle aspiration cytology of the parametrial region is a reliable method for detecting gynecologic cancer recurrence. This simple procedure offers comparable accuracy to histology with minimal complications and no need for anesthesia.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Cytopathology
    • Cancer Recurrence Detection

    Context:

    • Evaluating diagnostic methods for gynecologic cancer recurrence.
    • Assessing the parametrial region, a common site for cancer spread.
    • Comparing fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology with traditional histology.

    Purpose:

    • To compare the cytologic findings of parametrial fine needle aspiration with the clinical course of patients post-gynecologic cancer therapy.
    • To determine the reliability and safety of parametrial aspiration cytology for detecting cancer recurrence.

    Summary:

    • Parametrial aspiration cytology demonstrated reliability comparable to histology (van Silverman biopsy).
    • The procedure is simple, requires no anesthesia, and has a low frequency of complications and insufficient material.
    • Aspiration cytology appears to be a valuable advancement in detecting cancer recurrence in the parametrial soft tissue.

    Impact:

    • Establishes fine needle aspiration cytology as a reliable, minimally invasive tool for post-treatment cancer surveillance.
    • Offers a simpler, safer alternative to biopsy for parametrial recurrence detection in gynecologic cancer patients.
    • Improves the diagnostic capabilities for identifying recurrent gynecologic malignancies in the parametrial region.
