Implementing The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology results in a decrease in the rate of the “atypical” category and an increase in its prediction of subsequent high‐grade urothelial carcinoma
CONCLUSIONSThere was a much higher risk of HGUC conveyed by AUC cytology after implementation of the PSRUC, justifying more aggressive investigations of patients who receive an AUC diagnosis. Cancer Cytopathol 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society. (Source: Cancer Cytopathology)

The PRKD1 E710D hotspot mutation is highly specific in separating polymorphous adenocarcinoma of the palate from adenoid cystic carcinoma and pleomorphic adenoma on FNA
CONCLUSIONSThe PRKD1 E710D hotspot mutation is highly specific for identifying PAC on FNA among cases of ACC and PA, whereas the sensitivity is only modest. Alternative PRKD1 mutations exclude PAC, and are more suggestive of ACC. Cancer Cytopathol 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society. (Source: Cancer Cytopathology)

The diagnostic value of FNA biopsy in grading pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
CONCLUSIONSThe current results exhibit good correlation between FNA grade and final grade on surgical resection specimens using Ki‐67 index, even in samples with less than the recommended total cell count. Therefore, grading of PNETs on FNA with the Ki‐67 proliferation index should be assessed and is a practical parameter to report to clinicians. Cancer Cytopathol 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitors: The importance of tumor topography and the challenges to cytopathology
The recent emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer therapy has created much excitement among cancer patients, drug and diagnostic developers, and health care professionals. This is due largely to the dramatic and sustained responses among some advanced cancers that were previously refractory to therapy. Unfortunately, these responses are difficult to predict, so the goal of the right drug for the right patient at the right time remains elusive. This is in part due to the complexity of the tumor immune microenvironment and its role in drug efficacy. The application of biomarkers to pathologic specimens to predi...

High ‐grade urothelial carcinoma in urine cytology with jet black and smooth or glassy chromatin
CONCLUSIONSMalignant urothelial cells in urine cytology with jet black chromatin are common and can be diagnosed as “positive for malignancy” based on their irregular nuclear outline, increased cellularity (≥50 abnormal cells), and frequent necrosis.
