Next ‐generation sequencing of urine specimens: A novel platform for genomic analysis in patients with non–muscle‐invasive urothelial carcinoma treated with bacille Calmette‐Guérin
CONCLUSIONSUrine specimens can replace tissue as a substrate for NGS analysis of HR NMIUC. Several genomic alterations identified in urine specimens might be associated with histological features and clinical characteristics. Cancer Cytopathol 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Percutaneous biopsy of the renal mass: FNA or core needle biopsy?
CONCLUSIONSIn the current study, both FNA and CB demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy (96% and 94%, respectively). The combination of FNA and CB was found to significantly improve the diagnostic rate when compared with either FNA alone (92% vs 72%; P<.05) or CB alone (92% vs 87%).

External quality assurance in nongynecologic cytology: The Australasian experience
CONCLUSIONSThe use of multiple preparations of the same specimen has allowed interlaboratory comparison, and the quality assurance program has played an educational role as well as informing the laboratory accreditation process.

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.

Thyroid cytology —nuclear versus architectural atypia within the “Atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance” Bethesda category have significantly different rates of malignancy
CONCLUSIONSThe disparity between malignancy risks within the Bethesda “atypical” category suggests that cytologic (nuclear) atypia is significantly more predictive of malignancy than architectural atypia. This supports the substratification of patients according to risk and a corresponding management approach within this category. A sonographic finding of irregular margins is also predictive for malignancy. Cancer Cytopathol 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society. (Source: Cancer Cytopathology)

Qualifiers of atypia in the cytologic diagnosis of thyroid nodules are associated with different Afirma gene expression classifier results and clinical outcomes
CONCLUSIONSThe performance characteristics of Afirma GEC testing vary, depending on qualifiers of cytologic atypia. Recognition of these differences may enable clinicians to provide improved counseling and treatment recommendations to patients. Cancer Cytopathol 2016. © 2017 The Authors.

Can noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary ‐like nuclear features be distinguished from classic papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular adenomas by fine‐needle aspiration?
CONCLUSIONSSeveral statistically significant associations appear to be present between cytomorphologic features and surgical diagnosis that may be used as clues to distinguish NIFTP, PTC, and FA on fine‐needle aspiration. Although diagnostic confirmation of NIFTP must occur at the time of excision, similar to follicular neoplasms, the possibility of NIFTP may be raised preoperatively on cytology.

Improved risk stratification for patients with high ‐grade urothelial carcinoma following application of the Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology
CONCLUSIONSWhen applied to malignant UTC specimens, TPS criteria improved specimen risk stratification by upgrading approximately 40% of indeterminate specimens into higher risk categories while not significantly changing the frequency of HGUC diagnoses.

Cytologic characteristics of circulating epithelioid cells in pancreatic disease
CONCLUSIONSCECs were observed in patients with malignant and nonmalignant pancreatic disease, but not in healthy controls. There were no morphologic differences observed between cells from different pancreatic diseases, suggesting that numerous conditions may be associated with CECs in the circulation and that care must be taken not to overinterpret cells identified by cytomorphology as indicative of circulating tumor cells of pancreatic cancer. Additional studies are required to determine the origin and clinical significance of these cells. Cancer (Cancer Cytopathol) 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society. (Source: Cancer Cytopathology)
