Continuing these reviews, with a strong focus on education, will ensure a clear understanding of these slides and further reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer.

M. Austin and C. Zhao  Type 1 and type 2 cervical carcinomas: some cervical cancers are more difficult to prevent with screeningAlthough the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear is medical history’s most successful cancer screening test, some cervical cancers are more difficult to prevent with screening than others. Cervical cancers that are difficult to prevent are seen disproportionately among interval cancers arising in previously screened women and in Pap test litigation. These include (i) rapidly progressing cervical cancers; (ii) cervical cancers in younger women; (iii) glandular cervical cancers; and (iv) cervical cancers in elderly women. Screening protocols have generally been designed to optimize prevention of slower‐growing cervical squamous carcinomas in middle‐aged women. To fo...

IF is a quantitative measure that does not reflect the levels of evidence in cytopathology journals. IF should not be abandoned because it might encourage competition between cytopathology journals, but it should not dictate their contents.

This refining performance justifies its existence. Colposcopic appearances had a high PPV for detecting CIN2+. Therefore, colposcopy is recommended in patients with B/HG cytology and treatment should be offered if high‐grade colposcopic changes are seen.

Excision was justified in one‐third of operated patients. Less than 15% of lesions were malignant, which is in accordance with previous reports in the literature.

This study focused on agreement regarding the presence of constituent morphological features used to recognize dyskaryosis and various grades of squamous intraepithelial lesions. A map of reproducibility indexes is presented that highlights, for daily practice or teaching, the robustness of features used for cytological assessment, recognizing that diagnosis is always based on a combination of features.

As histological verification of glandular pre‐cancerous lesions by punch biopsy is not reliable and the postpartum regression rate cannot be determined precisely, conization should be performed in all cases with AGC‐FN or AIS. Triage of persistent AGC‐NOS with HPV testing is useful in distinguishing significant underlying lesions.

Skoog and E. TaniImmunocytochemistry: an indispensable technique in routine cytologyImmunocytology is today accepted as an indispensable adjunct to cytomorphology. It has led to a dramatic increase in diagnostic accuracy and also allowed the identification of markers both for prognosis and targeted therapies. Most commercially available antibodies will perform in a reproducible and reliable way provided that the cytological specimen has been prepared and fixed properly. In this review various aspects of immunocytochemistry such as preparation of cytological specimens, fixation and choice of antibodies will be discussed. The specificity of the most commonly used antibodies is summarized and staining panels for various tumours are suggested. In addition, the use of markers for targeted th...

Wee Fine needle aspiration biopsy of hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatocellular nodular lesions: role, controversies and appr oach to diagnosisThe role of fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of the liver has evolved. Advances in imaging modalities have obviated the need for tissue confirmation in clinically classic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The risks of needle tract seeding and haematogenous dissemination have been actively debated. Nowadays, cytopathologists are confronted by smaller and smaller nodules, detected due to increased surveillance of high‐risk cirrhotic patients. Tissue characterization of small well‐differentiated hepatocellular nodular lesions (size less than and equal to 2 cm) is extremely challenging and has therapeutic implications.Major issues in the cy...

It is assumed that the routine cytological observation of cells obtained from body cavity fluid might cause possible cytomorphological and immunophenotypical changes due to the action of the growth factors contained in the body cavity fluid.

Detection of microfilariae may not be common even in endemic areas as screening and prophylaxis is routinely performed, and patients may show atypical presentations such as subcutaneous nodules. We believe that careful screening of FNAs, especially those from subcutaneous swellings, as well as serous fluids, is very important in a filariasis‐endemic zone.

Careful attention given to certain cytological features in an appropriate clinicoradiological setting and application of immunochemistry, including CD34 and CD99 immunostaining on cytological samples, can help in the diagnosis of SFT in some cases.

Although material was obtained with all three instruments, adequate samples were more likely to be obtained with the curette or Oral CDx than with a Cytobrush. The Oral CDx is a less aggressive instrument than the curette, so could be a useful tool in a clinical setting.

The absence of correlation of cellular cohesiveness with E‐cadherin expression indicates that other factors are probably responsible for the loss of cohesiveness observed in follicular thyroid malignancy.

In addition, FISH on BM imprints markedly improves the identification of chromosomal abnormalities.

DavidsonThe diagnostic and molecular characteristics of malignant mesothelioma and ovarian/peritoneal serous carcinomaMalignant mesothelioma and ovarian/peritoneal serous carcinoma are two of the most common tumours affecting the serosal cavities. Unlike other malignant tumours diagnosed at this anatomical site, such as lung and breast carcinoma, malignant mesothelioma and serous carcinoma share a common histogenesis, may be difficult to differentiate morphologically, and co‐express many of the diagnostic markers used by cytopathologists in effusion diagnosis. Selected markers have nevertheless shown sufficient sensitivity and specificity to differentiate serous carcinoma from malignant mesothelioma effectively. Recently, our group applied high throughput technology to the identificat...

Patients without a prior diagnosis of UC and class III urine cytology should also undergo a full initial evaluation, while further larger studies are needed to elucidate the need for further follow‐up in such patients.

Metastatic disease usually presents in the setting of widespread malignancy, therefore a dedicated clinical and radiological investigation is necessary in these cases. In both clinical scenarios the patient’s prognosis is poor.
