Utility of Automated Analyser-derived High Fluorescence Cell Counts for the Screening of Malignancy in Body Fluids: A Cross-sectional Study

Introduction

Conventional microscopic Body Fluid (BF) analysis is time-consuming, requires a skilled Cytopathologist, and is prone to inter-observer variability, while automated analysers have a faster turnaround time and a higher throughput rate. The present study explores whether High Fluorescence (HF)- BF parameters can support more efficient preliminary screening.
