    Author: Grigoruk OG, Bazulina LM, Lazarev AF.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 2010; 56(1):73-8. PubMed ID: 20361621.
    Abstract:
    Data are presented on a cytological examination of 2948 patients with pleuritis carried out during 7 years. Routine methods alongside centrifuging, cytological material staining, immunocytochemical and morphometric procedures were used. Each stage of the investigation was evaluated. Thanks to use of complex procedures, sensitivity of cytological methods for pleuritis diagnosis was raised to 95.2%, specificity--to 100%.
