Differential cytology in the diagnosis of astrocytary gliomas. A statistical study using the "t" Students-Fisher test.
The authors have used the "t" Student-Fisher test in order to verify the differences between two compared average values. The results show the anatomo-clinical individuality of four main types of astrocytary gliomas; multiform glioblastoma, malignant astrocytoma, protoplasmatic astrocytoma, and fibrillary astrocytoma. The occurrence of significant quantitative differences between these four astrocytary gliomas indicates that the histological diagnosis must be differentially made, because these astrocytary neoplasias represent individualized anatomo-clinical entities.
