To assess the use of frozen section diagnosis in gynaecological oncology in the United Kingdom.
A questionnaire was circulated electronically to gynaecological pathologists and surgeons. The results were collated and compared with the available literature on this subject.
Our survey showed that the use of frozen sections varies with the resource setting and the preferences and practices of the practitioners. Frozen sections are most often used in diagnosis of ovarian/pelvic masses and assessment of lymph nodes in cervical carcinoma.
Frozen section diagnosis is of value in certain areas of gynaecological oncology, while it is of limited or no value in others. Each multidisciplinary team should develop their own local protocols for intraoperative frozen section examination and support developing expertise in frozen section diagnosis in the adopted areas of the practice.
评估英国妇科肿瘤学中冷冻切片诊断的应用。
向妇科病理学家和外科医生发送电子问卷。结果进行了整理，并与该主题的现有文献进行了比较。
我们的调查显示，冷冻切片的使用因资源设置以及从业者的偏好和实践而异。冷冻切片最常用于卵巢/盆腔肿块的诊断和宫颈癌淋巴结的评估。
冷冻切片诊断在妇科肿瘤学的某些领域具有价值，而在其他领域则价值有限或没有价值。每个多学科团队都应制定自己的局部协议，用于术中冷冻切片检查，并支持在采用的实践领域发展冷冻切片诊断专业知识。
