Diagnostic Efficiency of Touch Imprints Versus Smears
Diagnostic Efficiency of Needle Core Biopsy Touch Imprints Versus Fine Needle Aspiration Smears at the Time of Rapid on Site Interpretation
Sponsor: University of Mississippi Medical Center
This observational or N/A phase trial investigates Diagnostic Self Evaluation and is currently completed. University of Mississippi Medical Center leads this study, which shows 7 recorded versions since 2017 — indicating limited longitudinal coverage. The change history captured here reflects the iterative nature of clinical trial conduct.
Study Description(click to expand)This is a retrospective study in which the investigators will analyze the quality of the smears and the touch imprints, the cellularity, the cytomorphologic features of the specimens and the presence of adequate material for ancillary studies. The specimens will be searched through the University of Mississippi Medical Center's Pathology Laboratory information system (Copath), from January 2011 to December 2017. The retrospective cases (January 2011 up to now) will be retrieved using natural language search of fine needle aspiration and touch imprints. The slides of those cases will be reviewed and the cytomorphologic features will be described.
