Brush Cytology with Immunocytochemical Evaluation of VEGF Expression versus Biopsy in Clinically Precancerous Laryngeal Lesions: Can We Diagnose Laryngeal Cancer Only with Brush Cytology?

Table 2

Cross-table of the correlation between the results of the cytologic and histologic examination of 30 patients with precancerous or suspected malignant laryngeal lesions.

Histologic examination	Exfoliative cytology examination
	Malignancy	Benign lesions	Atypia/moderate dysplasia (suspicious)
Malignancy	17	—	3
Benign lesions	—	5	—
Atypia/moderate dysplasia		—	4

The patient underwent a revision biopsy.
