Cytopathology

Cytopathology in focus: Know the accreditation requirements for telecytology

May 2022—The number of minimally invasive fine-needle aspirations requiring rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in the cytopathology laboratory has increased over the past decade. Laboratories have seen lower gynecologic volumes and an increase in both nongynecologic fine-needle aspiration biopsy and touch imprint samples. ROSE for patient care has proven value. Sample adequacy allows for a single visit and avoids having to make multiple attempts to provide material sufficient for all required testing, including flow cytometry, microbiology, cell block preparation for immunohistochemical and histochemical staining, and molecular testing.

Cytopathology in focus: Reflections on use of Milan System, edition 1: Areas to be explored for edition 2

August 2021—Salivary gland neoplasms (SGN) are a special group of tumors due to the high variation in histologic subtypes that are further complicated by frequent overlapping morphological features. Fine-needle aspiration is a safe, cost-effective, first-line modality for diagnosing SGNs, an integral part of SGN preoperational workup. In 2018, Faquin and Rossi led the effort to standardize the reporting system of salivary gland lesions. Their final product, Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC), has had a huge impact on salivary gland FNA practice in the United States and worldwide.

Cytopathology in focus: At the center of AI implementation in cytopathology

August 2021—Recent advances in the deep learning area of artificial intelligence offer tantalizing opportunities to improve cytology practice. However, aside from the commercially available options for automated screening in gynecologic cytology, systems with applications in cytology have largely been used in research settings only. The article by authors McAlpine and Michelow reviews the approach to developing and validating artificial intelligence algorithms in cytology, from the generation of appropriate cytology data sets to clinical validation of the model.

Cytopathology in focus: Inspection pitfalls: Common cytology lab-related deficiencies

May 2021—As COVID-19 restrictions ease, many laboratories are ramping up for biennial CAP inspections. Some of these inspections were delayed due to COVID restrictions and others were performed virtually and now must complete the statutory requirement of an on-site inspection. To add to the mix, the CAP published its 2020 checklist edition earlier than usual because of its impending reapplication with the CMS for deeming authority as an accrediting organization under CLIA. Together, these have made the 2021 inspection process appear unusually daunting. While no laboratory is immune to inspection anxiety, it does help to arm oneself with the knowledge gathered from the collective experiences of peers and colleagues across the country. Knowing what the common inspection pitfalls are can bring us a step closer to the “utopia” of a flawless inspection.

Cytopathology in Focus: Guideline on lab workup of lymphoma in adults

May 2021—The first recommended reading article consists of evidence-based guidelines for the primary diagnosis and classification of lymphoma, formulated by an expert panel convened by the CAP and the American Society for Clinical Pathology and American Society of Hematology. A comment period was provided during which more than 900 comments were received for review.

Cytopathology in Focus: What breast cytology brings to rapid assessment clinics

May 2021—During the past several years, significant changes have occurred in the approach to the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with breast cancer. The scattered and fragmented breast health services have been replaced by patient-centered clinical breast units and rapid assessment breast clinics all over the world.Pioneered and implemented in European countries, rapid assessment breast clinics are designed to effectively assess symptomatic women with palpable breast lesions by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB).

Cytopathology in focus: Virtual education in cytology: pandemic silver lining

January 2021—Although the challenges we face due to the COVID-19 pandemic are significant, adapting to our new circumstances can be a driver for positive change. Cytology education had started using virtual learning resources in the past few years with great variation among institutions and countries. The pandemic forced the community to embrace virtual learning in a variety of modalities. These changes may lead to lasting improvements in the quality and accessibility of educational opportunities for cytology trainees, and not just in the United States. In the same way, we are witnessing the exponential growth of digital pathology as applied to surgical pathology. In cytopathology the applications have been limited to telecytopathology in the setting of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for interventional procedures. The difficulties in dealing with multilayered focus have been given as reasons not to pursue whole slide imaging for cytology. As the cytology community has, even if reluctantly, gained experience with remote sign-out, we may see a push for digital imaging for primary diagnosis in cytology.

Cytopathology in focus: Telecytology for rapid on-site evaluation

January 2021—Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for cytology specimens is performed at many institutions to improve the quality of health care by proper triage of obtained material to increase the diagnostic yield, or to direct appropriate investigation. It also helps to control health care costs by reducing the rate of nondiagnostic specimens, unnecessary passes, and repeat procedures. The number of procedures requiring ROSE is growing due to the increase in the number of platforms used to perform minimally invasive procedures.

Cytopathology in focus: Abnormal cervical screening tests: a personal approach

August 2020—If the past decade was directed toward aligning medicine with a personalized approach to therapy, this decade should further realize the implementation of health care decisions tailored to the patient. The updated 2019 ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for Abnormal Cervical Cancer Screening Tests and Cancer Precursors take a large step in that direction by relying on the input of personal data into a free online application that provides suggested management planning based on patient history and prior Pap/HPV test results.

Cytopathology in focus: New direction for thoracic small biopsy, cytology specimens

August 2020—Cytopathologists are keenly aware of the need to collect adequate cytologic tissue not only to arrive at a diagnosis but also to provide sufficient material for predictive and prognostic markers. This is especially true in the realm of non-small cell lung cancer, where biomarker testing is routinely used for the clinical management of patients with advanced-stage disease. The list of clinically relevant biomarkers in NSCLC is expanding. The most recent version of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology includes MET exon 14 skipping mutations and RET as therapeutic targets for advanced NSCLC, in addition to the well-established EGFR and BRAF mutations, ALK and ROS1 rearrangements, and PD-L1 expression.
