Appraisal of aspiration cytology in management of Hodgkin's disease

Cancer

Abstract

The value of aspiration cytology in the management of Hodgkin's disease is shown in this study of 228 patients and 403 aspirations; 385 from lymph nodes and 18 from extranodal masses. In all patients the initial diagnosis was established on surgical biopsy. Aspirates were helpful in staging, defining extension of unusual radiation fields, and in recognizing residual disease and relapses after therapy. Adequate material was obtained in 80% of aspirations. The diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease could not be established in the adequate cytologic sample in 9.9% of cases. In 5.5%, the diagnosis was that of benign reactive hyperplasia and in 4.4%, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Unsatisfactory material was usually obtained from nodes less than 1 cm in diameter or from residual lesions following radiation or chemotherapy. Only 14 of 93 such lesions proved to have active disease during follow up. There were no significant complications. Characteristics of the varied aspects of aspirated tumor cells found in Hodgkin's disease are described.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
