Question
Answer
What is carincoma in situ   when the epithelium is completely replaced by cells having the characteristics of "cancer" cells  
🗑
What is dysplasia   epithelial changes "less than" carcinoma in situ, usually graded as mild, moderate or severe  
🗑
What is the CIN for severe dysplasia   CIN III  
🗑
What is the CIN for carcinoma in situ   CIN III  
🗑
What are some limitations of cytopathology   Hard to classify tumor type, specimen is lmitied to the surface of the lesion, extent and depth of invasion cannot be determined, exact location may not be pinpointed  
🗑
The accuracy of cytodiagnosis is dependent on ??? factors   Experience of the collector and examiner, sampling method used, and target organ to be sampled  
🗑
Is cytologic testing more sensitive or specific   Speceificity is higher (can rule in (spIN) not rule out snOUT)  
🗑
What are some causes of error in cytodiagnosis   Inadequate sampling, Poor fixation or inadequate cell preservation, suboptimal laboratory techniques and staining  
🗑
What is the best indicator of the biological potential of the cell   the cell nucleus  
🗑
What do the nuclei of malignant cells look like   enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei leading to an increased nuclear;cytoplasmic ratio  
🗑
What does it mean when a nucleus is enlarged   there is DNA synthesis  
🗑
What does hyperchromasia indicate   More DNA/chromatin per unit area, DNA/RNA synthesis  
🗑
What does it mean when there is a high N:C ratio   cell is differentiated more likely proliferating  
🗑
what does it indicate when the chromatin are irregular   more nuclear activity in more areas of the nucleus, active transcription in areas of euchromatin  
🗑

To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
