In this issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Christopher J. VandenBussche brings his considerable expertise to the topic of The Current and Future Impact of Cytopathology on Patient Care. Top experts discuss how minimally invasive procedures can provide critical information to guide patient management—for example, cytopathology specimens that allow for the timely and personalized treatment of patients, reducing the number of more costly and invasive procedures. This issue focuses on the recognition of critical cytomorphologic features, current and developing options for ancillary testing, and the potential use of cytopathology specimens in precision medicine (precision cytopathology).
