The reliable identification of tumor cells in populations of atypical cells occurring in body cavity effusions is a well-known diagnostic problem. In order to improve tumor cell detection and to predict disease progression, we developed a cell scoring strategy based on a combination of DNA cytophoto
The diagnostic usefulness of ferritin measurements in pleural and peritoneal effusions has been evaluated in 57 patients. Mean (& standard error [SE]) ferritin levels were 291 f 50 ng/ml in 24 patients with noninflammatory transudates (Group I), 942 \* 253 in 15 patients with nonmalignant exudates (
