  • Title: Pancreatic cytology: standardised terminology and nomenclature.
    Author: Perez-Machado MA.
    Journal: Cytopathology; 2016 Jun; 27(3):157-60. PubMed ID: 27221751.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic cytology can make a real difference to the management of patients. However it is a challenge in those cases where a definitive diagnosis of malignancy cannot be made with confidence. This creates the need for a unified terminology and nomenclature system that provides intra- and interdepartmental guidance for diagnosis. The Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology (PSC) has published new guidelines for pancreaticobiliary cytology, addressing indications, techniques, terminology and nomenclature, ancillary studies, and postprocedure management.
