Patients with stage T3NO-2M0 gastric carcinoma (n = 108) were studied for relevant prognostic factors. Peritoneal lavage cytology (PLC) was performed in all. In univariate analysis, 5-year survival rates were better with smaller serosal invasion (diameter <3.0 cm vs. a 3 . 0 cm, 61% vs. 37%, P < 0.0
## BACKGROUND. The recurrence rate of ovarian carcinoma is high even when a second-look laparotomy (SLL) is negative. In the current study, the accuracy of peritoneal cytology as an evaluation method of SLL was examined. ## METHODS. The positive SLL rate and the diagnostic accuracy of peritonea
## Abstract The vaginal apex is the most common site of recurrence in patients with endometrial cancer. Although studies demonstrate that <1% of asymptomatic vaginal recurrences are detected by routine vaginal cytology alone, many practitioners still include it as part of the routine surveillance i
