In the 112 patients who underwent ALND as a secondary operation because of discordance between FS and definitive pathology examination of the SLN, the pathological findings of the ALND specimen revealed additional lymph node metastases in 17 patients (15%).
A full pathology examination of offspring was performed at the end of the 9-month postnatal period.
Divergence in pathology examination and reporting as a cause for heterogeneity and incomparability of study results has not been brought into this discussion yet, despite the fact that several key outcome measures for neoadjuvant treatment are pathology-based.
We have used nanoNAM to detect malignant transformation in colon carcinogenesis, even in tissue that appears histologically normal according to pathologists, thereby showing its potential as a pathology aid in cases where pathology examination remains inconclusive, and for screening patient populations at risk of developing cancer.
Intraoperative pathology examination may help to confirm negative surgical margins.
Pathology examination was part of the clinical evaluation and was centralised at our institution.
Diagnostically, these changes can be observed microscopically at pathology examination but also macroscopically in situ at the sites of disease by changes in fluorescent patterns seen by endoscopy [19, 20]. Figure 2 Schematic illustration of pulmonary disease progressions.
Subdisciplines include Cytopathology (examination of suspensions of cells exfoliated from tissue surfaces or aspirated from tissues using a fine needle), Surgical Pathology (examination of solid tissue specimens obtained by biopsy or surgical excision), and Autopsy Pathology (post-mortem examination of the entire body).
Brain invasion was confidently ascertained by pathology examination.
Diagnosis and bone infiltration were ascertained by pathology examination on paraffin-embedded tissue samples.
Again, disease severity, measured by pathology examination and bacterial count in the infected organs, corresponded to the magnitude of the ESAT-6 specific response.
