Use of immunologic tumor markers in body fluid analysis.
Sensitive and specific tumor markers will increase the accuracy of present cytologic techniques and will teach us more about the biology and pathogenesis of tumors. Immunoenzyme studies may also be useful in quality control and may accelerate the development of automated screening techniques for cytology.
