Role of fractal dimension in distinguishing benign from malignant endometrial clusters in liquid-based cervical samples.

The measurement of FD of HCGs in cervical samples can serve as a useful screening adjunct to differentiate malignant from benign HCGs, owing to its high sensitivity. However, in view of its low specificity and positive predictive value, we recommend that cases labelled as malignant by the FD value be confirmed for malignancy by other methods.
