WHOverlap Multicentre Study: Dissecting the Insufficient/Inadequate/Non-Diagnostic Category and Its Overlap with the Benign Category in the WHO Reporting System for Lung Cytopathology
These findings demonstrate that imaging correlation is critical for accurate risk assessment in the overlap between the ND and B cytopathology categories. Subclassification of ND and B cases based on imaging features and consistent reporting of ROM can help identify patients who may benefit from repeat sampling or further diagnostic evaluation. This approach has the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve clinical decision-making.
