TL;DR: An evaluation of the accuracy of SN biopsy as a staging procedure, the yields of different sectioning methods and the immunohistochemical detection of metastatic cells are reviewed and it is suggested that approximately 18% of the cases may be associated with further nodal (non-SN) metastases.

TL;DR: Evaluated aspects of the current practice of sentinel lymph node (SLN) pathology in breast cancer via a questionnaire based survey to recognise major issues that the European guidelines for mammography screening should address in the next revision.

TL;DR: An analysis of the consistency with which pathologists from 12 different European countries diagnose and classify breast disease was undertaken, suggesting that further improvements are unlikely without changes in guidelines or methodology.

TL;DR: The most robust histological features were thus high- and low-grade nuclei and necrosis as long as the latter did not involve the recognition of a comedo growth pattern.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the contribution of differences in the interpretation of specified histological features and field selection where morphology is heterogeneous to inconsistent interpretation of intraductal proliferations and concluded that most of the inconsistency is due to differences in morphological interpretation.
