Cytology and cell‐block immunohistochemistry of circulating tumour cells
Abstract Objective The study set out to assess the feasibility of using ParsortixTM circulating tumour cell (CTC) extraction and CytoFoam Disc cell‐block immunohistochemistry to diagnose metastatic carcinoma from blood samples in a National Health Service district general hospital.
The precious cell block
We describe a method for preparing a cell block from a very sparsely cellular cytology fluid sample. The aim is to ensure that cells are not lost during processing. We developed this method to perform immunohistochemistry on circulating tumour cells (CTC) extracted from the blood of patients with metastatic carcinoma, in which there are typically less than 20 cells in a 10 mL blood sample.
A rare complication of endoscopic intervention
A 56-year-old woman with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis presented with haematemesis and melena. On arrival, observations were oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry 97% on room air, blood pressure 77/44 mmHg, heart rate 127 per min, respiratory rate 24 per min, temperature 36.5°C and alert. The blood tests showed haemoglobin 65 g⋅L−1 and urea 23 mg⋅dL−1.
