Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Cytological analysis of effusion specimens provides critical information regarding the diagnosis and staging of malignancies, thus guiding their treatment and subsequent monitoring. Keeping in view the challenges encountered in the morphological interpretation, we explored convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as an important tool for the cytological diagnosis of malignant effusions.
