Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how well a hematology lab can detect cancer in body fluid samples compared to traditional cytology methods.
- A retrospective analysis of 414 samples showed that the lab had low sensitivity (23%) for detecting malignancy initially but improved to 60% after implementing new quality assurance measures.
- The findings indicate that while hematology labs can be useful, concurrent cytological exams are crucial for accurate cancer detection and should not be overlooked, especially when considering cost-saving approaches.
