Symposia 3 - The WHO System for Reporting Pancreaticobiliary Cytopathology: The Rationale, Structure, Categories and Application

The World Health Organization (WHO), the International Academy of Cytology (IAC) and the and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have joined forces to publish a series of cytopathology reporting systems, which will present an international approach to reporting cytopathology of various body sites and mirror the WHO Classification of Tumurs series (with links between the two series). These reporting systems will provide an evidence-based terminology system with associated risk of malignancy and management recommendation per diagnostic category aimed to facilitate diagnosis and patient management. This symposium introduces the Reporting System for Pancreaticobiliary Cytology, which is a revision of the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology System of Reporting Pancreaticobiliary Cytology. The WHO System will be described and modifications from the PSC System will be explained. The subsequent case-based seminar will illustrate the application of the WHO System in practice.

Target Audience

This educational activity is designed for pathologists, cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, students and other members of the cytopathology community.
