Message from the IAC-IARC

As you know the development of the four WHO international reporting systems for lung, pancreatico-biliary, lymph node and soft tissue are well underway. Many European based cytopathologists are already involved in the four Expert Editorial Boards.

This is the third of four planned surveys to assist the development of the international reporting systems. It has been created and reviewed by the members of the WHO-IARC Expert Editorial Board. The survey asks questions about the proposed system.

Please go to the IAC website, www.cytology-iac.org and go to the Lymph Node Survey.
Feel free to encourage your colleagues to participate. All questions are answered anonymously. The system is simple to use. The questions are comprehensive but can be quickly completed.

Andrew Field
President of the International Academy of Cytology”

12th annual EFCS Tutorial


New date: from 10 to 11 June 2021
Venue: Digital

Due to the persistent coronavirus spread, the 12th annual EFCS Tutorial which was scheduled June 7th-11th 2021 in Trieste has been cancelled. We are committed to resume the classic EFCS Tutorials as soon as possible. In the meantime, however, we wish to offer to all the people who have shown such a high interest for cytology an interactive event, which will be held digitally June 10th-11th 2021. All the main microscopy sessions foreseen in the original program will be included. Participants will have the opportunity to study in advance a selection of virtual slides. During the live session, the Tutor will provide a short lecture and discuss the most exemplary slides.

This is a great opportunity for cytologists to participate, in spite of the pandemic, to an event with high practical value.

EFCS Tutorial Chair: Giovanni Negri
EFCS Tutorial Co-Chair: Arrigo Capitanio
The registration fee is 100 €. It includes online access to the virtual slides, attendance to the virtual sessions and documentation.

QUATE examinations 2021

We are looking at options for the rest of the year, and will keep you informed via the EFCS website of developments. We apologise that we cannot give a definite date for the next QUATE examination, but we are hopeful of offering an examination in some format during 2021. Any enquiries can be sent to Dr Paul Cross (paul.cross1@nhs.net) or Mr Allan Wilson (allan.wilson@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk).
