34P Immunocytochemical determination of EpCAM protein expression in ascitic fluid cells in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer using the SER1 test system

Abstract

The most common first symptom of ovarian cancer (OC) is the accumulation of serous fluid in the abdominal cavity. Morphological verification is necessary to resolve the issue of the nature of the process and the purpose of treatment. Cytological examination (CE) of ascitic fluid is a subjective method based on the knowledge and experience of a morphologist. The use of a comprehensive assessment of the CE with subsequent immunocytochemical (ICH) revision is a trend of modern diagnostics, and the use of test systems for the diagnosis of ICH, focused on one patient, will increase the availability of this type of study in the primary polyclinic.
