Not accepted
You may be eligible if
Cases originating from and that were diagnosed at that local site
Cases are available in the site's archive
Cases are at least 1 year old since accessioning
Cases are selected because their primary diagnosis is consistent with the assigned target categories
Cases have a set of slides representative of the primary diagnosis for which it has been selected
Slide selection for a given case must meet the following criteria:
Slide is obtained by surgical pathology and prepared from FFPE human tissue
Slides must be stained with H\&E and accompanying special stains (histochemical and/or immunohistochemical)
All special stains slides (histochemical and/or immunohistochemical) where the slide and stain is used for diagnosis, not prognosis.
A chosen slide must demonstrate and be representative of the primary diagnosis; 1 slide selection may suffice for biopsy cases,
For resection cases, a minimum of 5 slides must be selected, which represent the primary diagnosis. If represented with less than 5 slides, additional slides (primary, secondary, or benign slides) from same case may be used to fulfill minimum number
Slide is intact, has correct size/thickness, good edges, undamaged coverslip, without pen markings that can't be removed, no air bubbles, tidy labels, and fulfills the quality checks per the general clinical practice
You may not be if
Case does not have relevant slides or if case information necessary for the study is missing
Case is still active (less than 1 year old) at the local site
Cases for which the control slides for immunohistochemistry and special stains are not available
Two cases from same individual
Gross-only cases that have no slides
Cases that are frozen section, cytology or hematology or immunofluorescence specimens only
Case where the only available set of slides have evidence only of secondary or no diagnoses and not the primary diagnosis for which the case is being screened.
Slides for a given case will be excluded if they meet the following criterion:
Glass slide that is broken, has abnormal size/thickness, beveled edges, poor coverslip (cracks, waviness, scratches), is sticky, has many pen markings or dirt that cannot be removed, contains air bubbles and overhanging labels that can't be corrected, and if stain is severely faded.
