The importance and usefulness of terminology and nomenclature for Cytopathology

Editorial / wadmin

Luiz M. Collaço DOI: 10.5935/1676-2444.20140045 Nomenclature and terminologies for Cytopathology have intended to group the diseases into categories, reduce interobserver variability, and improve diagnostic reproducibility and patient care. They should contain relevant information that can be understood by clinicians/surgeons and reflect current concepts on certain pathological processes. Currently, they are worked by interdisciplinary groups seeking
