Table 2. Diagnostic accuracy of cytomorphological features in relation to tumor histotype.
Histotype | Cytomorphological features | Sensitivity % | Specificity % | Overall Accuracy % | p |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Adenocarcinoma | Nucleoli and small-medium clusters | 73 | 98 | 90 | <0.001 |
Squamous cell carcinoma | High necrosis and large clusters | 74 | 99 | 97 | <0.001 |
Small cell carcinoma | Moderate necrosis and single cells | 79 | 96 | 94 | <0.001 |
