August 2024 Issue of The Pathologist

In this issue we ask: How can we maintain expertise in cytology? Cytopathologists Eva Wojcik, Fernando Schmitt, and Ashish Chandra share their thoughts on the value of cytology as a subspecialty, its future directions, and the merits of different training models. Find out what they said in our round table interview.

Plus much more: Jurgi Camblong believes that only with the wider adoption of liquid biopsy will precision medicine reach its full potential; Roxanne Zascavage reports on nanopore sequencing technology in forensics; and E. Blair Holladay encourages early-career laboratory medicine professionals to think like Olympians. Meanwhile: Judith Sandbank and Nathan Buchbinder tell us why AI-assisted digital pathology will, respectively, revolutionize cancer diagnostics and reduce burnout in the labs; Julia Gog shares an educational project that combines math with epidemiology; and we find out why reference standards are integral to NGS-based diagnostics. Finally: we sit down with innovative forensic pathologist, Ken Obenson.
