  3. Your client agreed to cytologically assess your patient's mass before surgical removal. You collected the sample, and the results are in. You jump to the diagnosis (who doesn't?) and see “non-diagnostic,” or maybe "inconclusive" – outcomes that are frustrating for everyone involved.

    This webinar shows you how to maximize the diagnostic yield of your clinical pathology samples, minimizing non-diagnostic and inconclusive results to get the definitive results you are looking for.

    Hear it directly from the board-certified clinical pathologist interpreting your cytology samples, Dr. Anna Meredith, and learn how to get the most out of your cytology sample submissions.

    Learning Objectives

    Definitions of the terms "non-diagnostic" and "inconclusive"
    Learn best practices for sample collection and preparation techniques
    Understand diagnostic yield and how to increase it with your cytology samples to generate definitive diagnoses
    Discuss common clinical cases where non-diagnostic or inconclusive results may occur, and how to increase your definitive results 
    Gain a better understanding of why the relationship with your clinical pathologist is so important
    Review the differences between cytology and histopathology to assist in test selection
