Controversial but crucial: The new WHO Blue Books heavily rely on molecular diagnostics, tools inaccessible to up to 80% of the world’s population. Instead of addressing global inequality, they risk deepening it. Radical, inclusive change is urgently needed.

Vikram Deshpande Crucial to this approach is vastly overstating the value of NGS and targeted therapy. How many low grade neoplasms with a fusion do we need and how does it help the patient when they are all treated exactly the same?

Robert Homer Very true—but patients are aspirational, and so are their clinicians. People want the best, and the WHO has positioned itself as the gold standard in tumor classification. I’ve seen families willing to spend a lifetime’s savings on a single genetic test, just to give their child

Vikram Deshpande I couldn't agree more! The WHO blue books, over the years, have become more glossy, hyper-specialized, and genetically obsessive; they now read like love letters to billion-dollar biotech firms. Problem is, the rest of the world isn’t reading along. Because we can't.

We built a fast web-based application for searching pathology reports. Works especially well with Epic data. Contact me if you want to learn more. #Pathology Manuscript Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.jpi.…

PIRO is very cool, developed by Scott and used by many in our department. Please check it out!

An amazing issue!

If you decide to seek a second opinion for a life altering diagnosis, I highly recommend that you have your original pathology diagnosis, when applicable, also reviewed. At many institutions this is (and should be) standard practice.

📊 The Area Under the Curve (AUC) is a single number that shows how well a model can tell categories apart. It combines sensitivity (finding true positives) and specificity (avoiding false positives) into one overall score. A perfect model has an AUC of 1.0—no missed diagnoses,
