Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess how pathologists report tumor content in prostate cancer biopsies and evaluate consistency among them using 10 standardized cases.
- - A survey of 304 pathologists revealed that most report tumor extent as a percentage, but there is significant variability in how they calculate these percentages.
- - The findings indicate high interobserver variability, especially with percentage reporting, suggesting that using absolute measures of tumor content could provide more consistent results for patient prognosis.
Infiltration of the prostatic ducts by prostatic adenocarcinoma occurs relatively frequently, being most commonly associated with high grade disease. It is now recognised that intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDCP) has an associated poor prognosis and this is reflected in its histological, molecular and immunohistochemical features. The current recommendation of the World Health Organization is that IDCP not be taken into consideration when grading prostate adenocarcinoma.

With rapid economic development comes the need to educate new pathologists to meet the medical care demands. Our aim was to set up a cost-effective system for training and testing the diagnostic skills of pathologists.

The aim of this paper was to study the expression of some proteins related to the Wnt/β catenin signalling pathway in seminomas by immunohistochemical techniques in order to assess the contribution of this pathway to the tumoral development.
Materials And Methods: Immunohistochemistry for E-cadherin, β-catenin, vimentin, C-Myc, cyclin D1 (CD1) and placental alkaline phosphatase.
