The area, shape and colour intensity of HCCGs, either alone or in combination, have little discriminative value. Practitioners and trainers should focus on the well-established features of dyskaryosis, such as chromatin pattern, nuclear membrane irregularities and group architecture. In terms of morphometric analysis, DNA ploidy and chromatin texture analysis may be more fruitful avenues of investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
