Pathology reports suffer from the outside forces:

  • Clinicians who do not want (!) "inadequate specimen" reports.
  • We change our diagnosis so that clinicians do not misunderstand

  • We change our reports so that patients do not misunderstand
    • Change prostate grading scheme so that patients are grade group 1, not in 6 out of 10.
    • Explanatory notes for patients
