Abstract:
Objective To assess the diagnosis value of epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) immunocytochemistry examination in meningeal carcinomatosis.Methods The routine cerebrospinal fluid cytologic examination and EMA immunocytochemistry examination of 23 cerebrospinal fluid specimens from 14 patients with definitive meningeal carcinomatosis were analyzed,retrospectively.Results The positive rate of routine cerebrospinal fluid cytologic examination and EMA immunocytochemistry examination were 39.13%(9/23)and 86.96%(20/23),respectively. There was a significant difference between two results ( P
