Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue presents cutting-edge developments and innovations in cytological diagnosis. It covers varied topics, including enhanced sensitivity in fine-needle aspiration cytology, rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) and telecytology, and advancements in ancillary testing with FISH and non-FISH molecular markers. It will also highlight the importance of these advancements for improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care. Additionally, it discusses the challenges faced in distinguishing between benign and malignant proliferations, especially in limited tissue and cytologic samples, and explores the role of immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization in ancillary studies.
