Morphological and Molecular Assessment in Thyroid Cytology Using Cell-Capturing Scaffolds

Abstract: The increased frequency of thyroid nodules is paralleled by the rise of thyroid cancer diagnosis. To define the nature of most thyroid nodules, fine needle aspiration (FNA) followed by cytological evaluation is considered the method of choice. About 20% of FNA biopsies on thyroid nodules, however, show indeterminate cytological features and may require diagnostic surgery. Several immunocytoch… Show more

“…The CytoMatrix is a matrix based on chitosan, a natural non-synthetic polymer. The CytoMatrix porosity and ionic strength makes it perfect for attracting and maintaining cells [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. After the loading of cells from urine, the fixation, processing, and paraffin embedding of the complex CytoMatrix-sample, we cut on microtome the first 3 µm section from FFPE-CytoMatrix block and we used it for H&E staining.…”

“…In order to improve the collection, maintenance, and analysis of neoplastic cells from urine specimens, we used an innovative synthetic matrix called CytoMatrix which has the property of capturing and storing biological material, as cells and micro-macro cellular aggregates, within its three-dimensional structure from various type of samples, as fine-needle aspiration and other biologic fluids [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The use of the CytoMatrix is simple and reliable; it involves the transfer of cellular material into the CytoMatrix, the fixation in buffered formalin, the standard processing and paraffin embedding of the complex CytoMatrix-sample, and the application on the obtained inclusion of ancillary tests.…”
