The Role of Ancillary Techniques in Pulmonary Cytopathology
Keyword(s):
Ancillary techniques play an essential role in pulmonary cytopathology. Immunoperoxidase and special stains are by far the most common ancillary techniques used in cytopathology; however, the role of molecular diagnosis is growing, especially in the fields of pulmonary oncology and infectious disease. In this article, we review the uses of ancillary techniques in lung tumor diagnosis, lung tumor classification, predictive marker determination, primary versus metastasis differential diagnosis, and infectious organism detection.
