 Editor’s Choice: Cytopathology 2012;23(1)
An article in Cytopathology by Austin and Zhao has been selected as Editor’s Choice for free access during February and March. The authors describe cervical cancer cases, collectively referred to as Type 2 cancers, which may be difficult to prevent. Their medicolegal experience in the U.S.A. is relevant to practice in other countries where ‘invasive cancer audits’ often reveal cancers in young women who have previously been screened. Two national audits are also reported: Castanon et al. from the NHSCSP in England and Repše-Fokter et al. from Slovenia. The editorial puts these rare cancers in the context of accurately detected CIN3; and focuses on the challenges of screening young women if these difficult Type 2 cancers are to be prevented or at least detected.

Cervical and breast cancer screening in Nigeria
The Association of Italian Pathologists “Pathologists beyond the Borders” NGO (Patologi oltre Frontiera) is preparing a project for the creation of a screening program for the most frequent female cancers in Nigeria.
The project concerns the implementation of a screening program for cervical cancer (by Pap smear) and breast cancer in IMO State, one of 36 states of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in a territory with a population of about 4.5 million inhabitants, with center in the capital, Owerri.

 Books on cytology
A textbook on one of the most common and difficult topics in CytoPathology
The serosal cavities are affected by a large number of benign and malignant processes, and serous effusions constitute one of the most commonly seen specimen types in cytopathology. Unlike other areas within cytopathology, which have practically become extinct, such as fine needle aspiration of the prostate, or that are being challenged by other diagnostic approaches, such as breast and cervical cytology in the context of core biopsies and HPV testing, respectively, effusions are here to stay.

Letter sent before Istanbul
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, the annual meeting of the UEMS Section/Board of Pathology has taken place in Split on May 21st, 2011.
Two major issues have been discussed there which are relevant for the EFCS and I want to summarize them shortly:
- After five years of discussion, a training charter for Pathology has been established which will implicate no major modifications for most members of the EFCS.
