ABSTRACT
The article discusses the results of comparative study of traditional smears and three different liquid technologies of making ready of cytological preparations (CytoSpin3, E-Prep Processor BD TriPath) using material from 112 patients with pathological processes of such different localizations as exudative liquids (31), soft tissues (22), lymphatic nodes (18), mammal glands (20), saliva glands (7), lungs (9), thyroid gland (5). It is established that under joint application of liquid and traditional cytology the effectiveness of cytological analysis increases up to 3.3%-5% depending on localization of pathologic nidus. The implementation of liquid technologies expands the possibilities of applying immunocitochemistry and molecular genetics to cytological materials.
