Future role of the pathologist in reporting colorectal cancer.

A pathology report on a surgical specimen of colorectal cancer has prognostic implications and is assuming increasing importance in relation to decisions regarding postoperative adjuvant therapy. The classic pathologic report is a static description of the extent of spread within the surgical specimen. The clinician, on the other hand, needs to know how far the tumor has spread in the patient. For the radiotherapist the report on rectal cancer must include a detailed account of anatomic location and spread, including relations to peritoneum and extent of mesorectal involvement. The oncologist aims to improve survival of patients undergoing "curative" surgery. Untreated, a subset of such patients die of metastatic disease, occult hepatic metastases being present at the time of surgery. An estimate of the risk of micrometastatic disease requires a prognostic classification utilizing independent pathobiologic variables. Reporting of colorectal cancer needs to become more closely tailored to clinical endpoints relevant to therapeutic decision-making. This paper looks critically at current practice and future directions.

[Chemotherapy-induced changes in high grade central osteosarcomas-experiences gained through the assignment as reference-pathologists of the COSS-studies].

High-grade central osteosarcomas are the most frequent malignant bone neoplasms in childhood and adolescence. Their prognosis has been substantially improved using neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The morphological examination of surgical specimens reveals important information regarding the success of treatment. The histological determined degree of regression represents one of the most reliable therapy-related prognostical factor. Thus pathological analysis of the surgical specimens is of great importance notwithstanding the improved clinical and radiological diagnostic of osteosarcoma.

[Computed assisted voice recognition. A dream or reality in the pathologist's routine work?].

During the last 30 years the analysis of human speech with powerful computers has taken great strides; therefore, cost-effective, comfortable solutions are now available for use in professional routine work. The advantages of using voice recognition are the creation of new documentation or archives, reduced personnel costs and, last but not least, independence in cases of unforeseen notification of illness or owing to annual leave. For voice recognition systems to be used easily, a considerable amount of time must be invested for the first 3 months. Younger colleagues in particular will be more motivated to dictate more precisely and more detailed because of the introduction of voice recognition. The effects on other sectors of medical training, quality control, histology report preparation, and transmission can only be speculated.
