Abstract
In the era of personalized medicine, cytopathology reports must be standardized to provide clinicians with clear information regarding relevant diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive tumor features. Since 2010, the international Molecular Cytopathology Meeting has been held annually in Naples, Italy, to disseminate recent breakthroughs and ongoing investigations in the field of modern cytopathology. In particular, the seventh annual meeting, which took place on November 26 through 27, 2018, focused on novel cytological and molecular classifications and novel DNA sequencing techniques, as well as on the possibility of using cytological rather than tissue specimens for lung cancer biomarker testing. The present review aims to update cytopathologists on the more recent achievements in modern cytopathology and to identify key research questions that still remain unanswered.
