Decision‐making in breast pathology reporting: the effect of clinical relevant thresholds
Pathologists take clinical cut-off values into account in their decision-making process. For tumour size, they tend to avoid the 1.0 and 2.0 cm thresholds. For ER/PgR, they tend to categorize the tumour as positive around the threshold. Further research is needed to determine the implication of this for treatment decisions.
