Programmed death ‐ligand 1 testing of lung cancer cytology specimens obtained with bronchoscopy
CONCLUSIONSBronchoscopically obtained cytology needle–based samples are adequate for PD‐L1 testing in patients with NSCLC. There was no difference noted between different needle sizes with regard to adequacy for PD‐L1 testing. These findings are relevant for clinicians caring for patients with lung cancer because a vast majority of patients with advanced NSCLC are diagnosed by bronchoscopic needle‐based techniques using a variety of commercially available needles.

Histological outcomes of anal high ‐grade cytopredictions
CONCLUSIONSIn a cohort of MSM, a baseline histological HSIL diagnosis after an HSIL cytoprediction is high, and it increases with further examinations over the course of 12 months. Lower levels of cytological abnormalities have significantly lower PPVs. These data can inform patient management and the quality assessment of each aspect of the screening pathway.

A combination of MTAP and BAP1 immunohistochemistry in pleural effusion cytology for the diagnosis of mesothelioma
CONCLUSIONSA combination of MTAP and BAP1 IHC in cell blocks from pleural effusions appears to be a reliable and useful method for differentiating MPM cells from RMC and can be used in the routine diagnosis of MPM.

PD ‐L1 expression in non‐small cell lung carcinoma: Comparison among cytology, small biopsy, and surgical resection specimens
CONCLUSIONSQuantification of PD‐L1 expression is feasible on cytology specimens, and the results are comparable to those obtained from surgical resection and small biopsy specimens, including in matched specimens and using a single predictive IHC marker. Future studies will be necessary to determine the comparative value of other antibodies and their ability to predict response to immunotherapy.

FNA smears of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma are superior to formalin ‐fixed paraffin‐embedded tissue as a source of DNA: Comparison of targeted KRAS amplification and genotyping in matched preresection and postresection samples
CONCLUSIONSFNA specimens are a more optimal source of DNA, and represent an important resource in the preresection and postresection molecular analysis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Cancer Cytopathol 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society. (Source: Cancer Cytopathology)

Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary ‐like nuclear features in the pediatric age group
CONCLUSIONSAccording to our rate of 1.9% for NIFTPs on reappraisal for resected nodules, this entity is likely to be less frequent in the pediatric population due to the higher prevalence of PTCs and/or more aggressive variants. NIFTPs do not appear to affect the ROM for The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology categories in the pediatric population. However, large‐scale studies are necessary to determine whether NIFTPs could affect the pediatric population. Cancer Cytopathol 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society. (Source: Cancer Cytopathology)

Diagnostic challenges and problem cases in salivary gland cytology: A 20 ‐year experience
CONCLUSIONSThe interpretation of salivary gland FNA can be influenced by several factors including prominent metaplasia, focal atypia, cystic changes, variable cellular components within the lesions, scant cellularity, variants of neoplasms, and a prior history of malignancy. Multiple passes representing the entire mass, imaging findings, and familiarity with salivary gland cytomorphology may improve the diagnostic accuracy.

Social cytopathology: Building a stronger cytopathology community through social media
Social media use can enhance education, networking, and collaboration in cytopathology. It can increase the impact of cytopathologists and elevate the understanding of cytopathology specifically and pathology in general among patients, colleagues, and the general public.

“Suspicious” salivary gland FNA: Risk of malignancy and interinstitutional variability
CONCLUSIONSOverall, 83.3% of SFM salivary gland FNA specimens turned out to be malignant; there was no significant interinstitutional variability in the ROMs. The SFM category for salivary gland FNA is very homogeneous, and the ROMs are quite similar worldwide.
