November 2017 Issue of The Pathologist

In our November 2017 issue, we take a look at the practical side of digital pathology: if you’ve decided to transition, what happens next? The problem with biobanks, the issue of over-testing, and the drawbacks of population databases in non-European populations also feature, and we sit down with Ian Cree, head of the WHO Classification of Tumors Group.
