Evolution of guidelines for respiratory cytology by the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology

© 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc..

Cytology serves a fundamental role in the evaluation of the lower respiratory tract. Cytological specimens are often the first diagnostic attempt for the evaluation of radiographic alterations. The categorization of the pathological process as infectious, inflammatory or neoplastic is critical in guiding further clinical management of the affected patient. Therefore it is imperative that cytopathologists use a standardized approach to sample handling and reporting in order to establish clear communication with the treating physician. The Papanicolaou Society of cytopathology has been an active leader in this field and has proposed several guidelines for sampling, handling, and reporting of lower respiratory tract cytology. These guidelines have been updated to incorporate new emerging concepts and technologies in the field. Respiratory medicine is a fast growing area with constant new challenges, thus requiring an ever demanding adaptation from cytopathologists and cytology specific guidelines.
