title: [Rapid cytological diagnosis in cancer of the lung, stomach and esophagus].
abstract: The results of 1,053 express cytological examinations carried out in 369 patients were assessed. The scope and limitations of the procedure as well as errors involved were analysed. It was found that express cytological examinations provide a means for adequate evaluation of the nature and extent of cancer pathology and are instrumental in working out effective schemes of surgical treatment. An intraoperative cytological examination of lymph nodes can substitute a histological one.
