Opredelenie pervichnoy lokalizatsii opukholevogo protsessa pri immunotsitokhimicheskom issledovanii ekssudata iz seroznykh polostey

The authors show it possible to define the site of a tumorous process in difficult diagnostic cases by an immunocytochemical (ICC) study of serous exudates. The ICC profile of tumor cells in the exudates was detectable at various sites of a primary tumorous process. Based on the study performed it may be concluded that in most cases the tumor cells in the exudates preserve the ICC profile that is inherent in primary tumor. Relying on the ICC reactions, the site of a tumorous process may be supposed in serous tunic metastasizing lesions without a detected primary focus.
