Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to improve the diagnosis and understanding of serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), a precursor to high-grade serous carcinoma, through a structured three-round Delphi study with 34 international gynecologic pathologists.
- - An expert panel rated a list of diagnostic statements on their agreement, resulting in 64 statements, 27 of which reached consensus after three rounds to cover various aspects of STIC diagnosis, including processing, microscopy, and interpretation.
- - The final consensus statements, approved by 85% of the experts, provide guidance for pathologists and aim to enhance the consistency of STIC diagnoses in clinical practice.
Our understanding of the oncogenesis of high-grade serous cancer of the ovary and its precursor lesions, such as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), has significantly increased over the last decades. Adequate and reproducible diagnosis of these precursor lesions is important. Diagnosing STIC can have prognostic consequences and is an absolute requirement for safely offering alternative risk reducing strategies, such as risk reducing salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy.
