Interesting to see if the reporting system holds up in pericardial fluid. Pooled data from 10 studies say the tiers stratify risk (ROM 9% NFM to 79% MAL). How is your lab handling atypical pericardial effusions? #cytopath @bfaquin @IvanaKholova

Helpful information for anyone diagnosing pancreatic FNA. Ductal cells at the edge of stromal fragments were seen in 93% of PDAC smears vs 7% of benign cases (93% sensitivity, 93% specificity). @MLisaZhang @marthabpitman @bfaquin @CancerCytopath #cytopath
