Proliferation and variability of psychological measures are part of the natural workings of the scientific process. They contribute to theory development, transparency, replicability, and validity, and restricting proliferation might hinder progress in the psychological sciences.

Most lung cancers are diagnosed in an outpatient setting, but a subset requires intraoperative diagnosis. Two intraoperative diagnostic methods are available, frozen section (FS) and fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology.

Cancer is the second most common cause of death for recipients. The magnitude of the risk depends on the cancer type and increases in viral-related malignancies.

Methods: Surgical specimens involving a frozen section diagnosis over a 3-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Glass slides were reviewed on cases with discordance.
Introduction: Accurate subtyping of NSCLC into lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is the cornerstone of NSCLC diagnosis. Cytology samples reveal higher rates of classification failures, that is, subtyping as non-small cell carcinoma-not otherwise specified (NSCC-NOS), as compared with histology specimens. This study aims to identify specific algorithms on the basis of known cytomorphologic features that aid accurate and successful subtyping of NSCLC on cytology.
