The most common way to assess the possible neoplastic involvement is intraoperative frozen section of the NAC base tissue. Because of its limitations, particularly the false negative results due to unsampling, we tried to use intraoperative imprint cytology for more thorough intraoperative assessment. The aim was to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of this method and possibility to substitute frozen section for intraoperative assessment of NAC base A prospective clinical study was conducted of 208 consecutive female patients who underwent open biopsy because of carcinoma. Intraoperative imprints were taken from the excised subareolar tissue which was then routinely processed for definitive histology. Intraoperative imprint findings were compared with the definitive histology of the NAC base. Our results with 7.5% false negative rate, 9.8% false positive rate, sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 87.58% argue that imprint cytology might not be sufficient as an exclusive method for the intraoperative assessment of the NAC base though it should be used routinely in conjuction with frozen section examination. ctomasov@kbd.hr

Recently, eloquent studies have provided proofs that cancers originate from cancer stem cells, their discovery in both solid and non-solid tumors changing our view of carcinogenesis and chemotherapy. Cancer stem cells exist in a wide array of tumours and are becoming increasingly important to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate self-renewal and differentiation. We have isolated hepatocellular cancer stem cells from a liver biopsy, in an effort to unreveal more details about liver carcinogenesis, very important for the early detection and understanding of the mechanisms responsable for the highly aggressive clinical picture of hepatocellular carcinoma. In the current study, liver cancer stem cells were isolated from a surgical specimen of hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient whose malignancy had progresses during the previous six months. At passage 3, cells had a spindle-shaped morphology, formed spheroids and were resitant to chemotherapy agents. Immunocytochemistry staining and Reverse Transcriptase - Polymerase Chain Reaction showed that cells were pozitive for stem cell specific markers (CD 90, Oct 3/4, Nanog, SOX2, CD 133, CK19). Cells were also injected subcutaneously into CD1 mice to observe tumor formation. The cells faithfully retained the characteristics of their original tumors and provide a reliable resource for investigating the mechanisms of formation and recurrence of human liver cancer. Such investigatins may eventually have major impacts on the understanding and treatment of human cancer and metastasis. ciprian_tomuleasa@yahoo.com 143 4 th Croatian Congress of Clinical Cytology / 1 st Croatian Symposium of Analytical Cytology / 2 nd Croatian Symposium of Cytotechnology
