The aim of the paper is to establish the value of gastric mucosa imprint cytology in detection<br />
of gastric cancer. 389 biopsy samples, taken from patients by endoscopic examination,<br />
with suspected diagnosis of stomach cancer were analyzed. Each specimen was<br />
first submitted to slide imprinting and then formalin fixed for further routine histopathology<br />
treatment. The imprints were air dried for cytological analysis, stained according to<br />
May- Grünwald-Giemsa and analyzed under a light microscope. 194 specimens were<br />
adequate for final comparison of gastric cancer detection methods. Using pathological<br />
and histological analyzes gastric cancer was found in 45 specimens and cytological<br />
analysis detected it in 63 specimens. Combining these two methods cancer was found in<br />
67 specimens. Patients having positive cytological finding and negative pathohistologic<br />
finding went for repeated gastroscopy with biopsy. All patients with positive findings were<br />
operated and the obtained material was entirely pathohistologically examined. Cancer<br />
was found in 67 patients. Cytological analysis of the imprints of bio-optic material of the<br />
stomach mucosa increases number of positive findings in preoperative stage of stomach<br />
cancer diagnosis. The biggest advantage of the method is its speed, simplicity and low<br />
price. All information on morphological changes of mucosa is also pathohistologically<br />
checked, because taking of imprints does not damage the specimen.<br />
