Pathologists need to be knowledgeable and keep pace with the recent advances in cytological classifications to modify the way specimens are processed, reviewed, reported, and managed. Two new cytological classifications, the Paris System for urinary cytology and the Milan System for salivary gland cytology have changed and will continue to change the practice of these challenging sites.

In this CAPcast, Dr. Jeffrey F. Krane, chief of the head and neck pathology service at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, and Dr. Eva Wojcik, Chair of Pathology at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, discuss what pathologists need to know about these two new classification systems. Drs. Krane and Wojcik will be teaching a course on this topic at CAP18 which will be held Oct. 20-24 in Chicago. Learn more about CAP18 (#cap18chi): http://www.capannualmeeting.org/.
