Five current pathological classification systems were applied retrospectively to assess pathologic response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
The pathological classification of disease considers the nature of the disease process.
The pathological classification was pT4a (esophagus), pN1a, M0, stage IVA.
The Heinrich classification is widely used for pathological classification of ectopic pancreas [9].
The performance of each of the two classifiers and of the overall MCS was compared with pathological classification.
At other times, a bone lesion can have such a highly undifferentiated histological appearance that a precise pathological classification on routine hematoxylin eosin-stained section is not possible.
Neither the profiles of electrical excitability nor the pharmacological responses of C-fibres within individual fascicles were correlated with the prevailing pathological classification.
Consequently, tau pathology is essential and decisive, together with amyloid, in the overall pathogenesis of AD, notwithstanding its pathological classification as a 'secondary tauopathy'.
The concordance between molecular and final pathological classification had an accuracy (80±5)% with a sensitivity of (81±6)% and a specificity of (78±7)%.
To obtain a direct comparison between molecular data and pathological classification we developed a "sandwich" method (see Figure 1 and Methods: Prostate Tissue Specimens Collection and Handling).
Tissue specimens that have been misclassified by the molecular method, with respect to pathological classification, are indicated in Table 1 (bold).
