Comments are helpful - there has been lots of discussion on what topics are appropriate for general AP/CP boards and what topics are "fellowship level" - please look through and comment (easy to do by means of a survey-type response that can be found at the link)

#GUpath prostate biopsy:
controversies in applying volume of core involved:
â95% of core involved by prostate cancer?
đ
â15% of core, discontinuously involved
there's data on both sides...so use your judgement and explain how you arrived at your reporting!

if youâre seeing PSA level â97.20 ng/mlâ somewhere on pros bx path report, its likely wrong
97.20 is the ICD code for elevated PSA
Iâve seen this error often! Mistake gets passed along patient chart! May not be a false neg bx that didnât correlate!

Agree, no need for total submission. In our lab we routinely have partially submitted for years, and our rates of detecting T3 disease are probably higher than most. A good PA or grosser helps, as does correlation with bx/imaging. Low threshold to go back and submit more. #gupath

Why is prostate sampling so unique? Radical prostatectomies are the only resection specimens routinely submitted in total for histological examination with significant workload implications for pathologists and laboratories. Is this really necessary?

MRI target-only biopsy misses 15% of GG2-5 and 43% of GG4-5.
Conclusion: I will continue to do targeted systematic biopsies
After 4 years of the GĂTEBORG-2 trial, MRI-targeted biopsy led to less detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancer than systematic biopsy without compromising the detection of cancer that may affect survival. Read the full trial results: nej.md/4ewOjKT
ALT Graphs of the cumulative incidence of detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancer, clinically significant prostate cancer, and advanced or high-risk prostate cancer.

If anyone else uses the LLM AI apps, I'm getting a bit frustrated with them. I asked it a simple question about a great 1990s movie and it had no idea what it was talking about g.co/gemini/share/899a930c47âŚ

"As you grow older, it becomes okay to say, âI donât know.â People donât like ambiguity when they are younger; they want everything in black and white. But many things about pathology (and life!) are ambiguous. There are always shades of grey."
