Studies demonstrated the significance of membranous urethral length (MUL) as a predictor of continence following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). There are other magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters that might be linked to continence outcome. To evaluate the association between preoperative urethral parameters on MRI and continen...

Subspecialty sign-out is increasingly common in academic medical centers as well as some community practices. Reducing interobserver variability in anatomic pathology is desirable so that clinicians can select the appropriate therapy. Many departments that elect subspecialty sign-out do so with the assumption that it will improve diagnostic accurac...

Kappa statistics have been widely used in the pathology literature to compare interobserver diagnostic variability (IOV) among different pathologists but there has been limited discussion about the clinical significance of kappa scores. Five representative and recent pathology papers were queried using clinically relevant specific questions to lear...

PurposeCorrect identification of tumour receptor status is important for treatment decisions in breast cancer. [18F]FES PET and [18F]FDHT PET allow non-invasive assessment of the oestrogen (ER) and androgen receptor (AR) status of individual lesions within a patient. Despite standardised analysis techniques, interobserver variability can significan...

Clinical significance of the pT4 category in colon cancer is increasing with several therapeutic implications. The aim of this study was to evaluate variability in diagnosing pT4a colon cancer. Twelve pathologists classified 66 preselected scanned Hematoxylin/Eosin-stained slides with tumor cells at a distance of 25-1500 μm (n = 22), 0-25 μm (n = 2...

Although The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytopathology does not mandate reporting of endocervical glandular involvement (EGI) in Papanicolaou test specimens with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), several studies have suggested that EGI diagnosed on surgical specimens is associated with higher rates of residual or recurr...
