Cancer Cytopathology 2016 Young Investigator Challenge: Building an ultrasound ‐guided FNA clinic—our 5‐year experience: From project to practice
CONCLUSIONSFNAs performed by cytopathologists have a high‐rate of ROSE/adequacy and a low diagnostic discrepancy rate. Cytopathologists as interventionalists provide optimal care and excellent patient satisfaction. Cancer Cytopathol 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society. (Source: Cancer Cytopathology)

Human epididymis protein 4 immunostaining of malignant ascites differentiates cancer of M üllerian origin from gastrointestinal cancer
CONCLUSIONSHE4 staining in ascites is feasible and appears to have a high sensitivity for high‐grade serous ovarian cancer. HE4 is a useful addition to the current panel of immunocytochemistry markers for the diagnosis of EOC and for differentiation with gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas.

Diagnosis of anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangement in cytological samples through a fluorescence in situ hybridization –based assay: Cytological smears versus cell blocks
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) status analysis of lung cytological specimens should be successfully encouraged in routine practice because biopsy specimens are not always available. To date, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved both fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) as diagnostic tests for identifying ALK‐positive patients eligible for treatment with crizotinib. Although ALK IHC is an optimal diagnostic tool, FISH becomes mandatory in equivocal cases. ALK FISH of paraffin‐embedded tissue material is still the gold standard, whereas the cytological specimen assay has ...

Cytological, molecular, and clinical features of noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary ‐like nuclear features versus invasive forms of follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma
CONCLUSIONSDespite differences in the cytological classification and molecular profiles between NIFTP and IFVPTC, the degree of overlap makes it unlikely that most cases of NIFTP and IFVPTC can be accurately distinguished with FNAB.

Challenge of FNA diagnosis of angiomyolipoma: A study of 33 cases
CONCLUSIONSFNA diagnosis of AML may be challenging, especially in cases with a predominantly epithelioid component and/or an extrarenal location.

Improvements in cell block processing: The Cell ‐Gel method
CONCLUSIONSThe authors have developed an effective and inexpensive protocol for producing cell blocks that consistently yields abundant cellular material. The Cell‐Gel method uses a hemolytic fixative and disposable base molds to produce adequate cell blocks. When the method was implemented, the cell block failure rate of the study laboratory decreased by approximately 67%. Cancer (Cancer Cytopathol) 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Cytology assessment can predict survival for patients with metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms
CONCLUSIONSGrading of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms on cytology may not correlate exactly with concurrent core needle biopsy, but cytology differentiation and grade are predictive of survival based on stage‐adjusted analysis.
