Article Synopsis
  • The systematic review investigates the effectiveness and cost benefits of a selective histopathology approach for cancer detection, rather than the usual routine analysis of surgical specimens.
  • It analyzed data from 11 studies involving over 26,000 patients who underwent various surgical procedures, identifying a low rate of cancer diagnoses but noting substantial cost savings.
  • The conclusion emphasizes that while this selective method doesn’t significantly increase missed cancer diagnoses, there are concerns regarding legal protections for surgeons who opt out of routine histopathological analysis.
