[The "Conseil national professionnel d'anatomie et cytologie pathologiques" (CNPath): At the service of the profession].

The « conseils nationaux professionnels » (CNP) are professional boards existing since 2010. Their missions, organization and functioning have been defined by the decree 2019-17 of January 9, 2019. CNPs represent all the members of a medical specialty (or health profession).

External Validation of an MRI-Derived Radiomics Model to Predict Biochemical Recurrence after Surgery for High-Risk Prostate Cancer.

Unlabelled: Adjuvant radiotherapy after prostatectomy was recently challenged by early salvage radiotherapy, which highlighted the need for biomarkers to improve risk stratification. Therefore, we developed an MRI ADC map-derived radiomics model to predict biochemical recurrence (BCR) and BCR-free survival (bRFS) after surgery. Our goal in this work was to externally validate this radiomics-based prediction model.

Retraction of cutaneous specimens: tumours and margins after surgical excision.

Aims: In previous studies, skin retraction of dermato-pathological specimens after the surgical excision of tumours was calculated at 30% for the surface, with approximately 20% for the length and 15% for the width. The aim of this study was to analyse the retraction of the specimens and the retraction of the lesion and the margins.

Methods: Patients who underwent excision of a skin tumour between January 2013 and July 2014 were randomly included.

Microsatellite instability diagnosis using the fully automated Idylla platform: feasibility study of an in-house rapid molecular testing ancillary to immunohistochemistry in pathology laboratories.

Aim: To study the performances of the Idylla MSI Assay in the diagnosis of microsatellite instability (MSI) or microsatellite stability (MSS).

Methods: We selected 12 tumour samples previously tested for MSI focusing on cases with discrepant results between MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6 immunohistochemistry and microsatellite molecular analyses (five cases) or doubtful immunohistochemistry (two cases). Idylla MSI Assay was compared with retrospective immunohistochemistry and molecular results.
