title: [Bone marrow involvement in ovarian cancer by immunohistochemical assessment].
abstract: In the study below we introduced certain conclusions from bone marrow analysis in patient with ovarian cancer in the presence of epithelial cells. The study included cytological bone marrow slides taken from 31 patients. We analyzed the cellular antigen expression using immuno-histological chemistry technic with NCL-CA 125, NCL-EMA and NCL-C11 antibodies. In the material drived from 3 patients with advanced neoplastic changes, we detected the presence of cells that were stained positively. In order to define the actual frequency of cell presence with tested antigen expression in bone marrow as well as to signify the diagnostic and prognostic value of their detection requires a larger study group as well as using other examination technics such as PCR or transluscent photometry.
