2 IMPERSONATORS Sturm et al., Cancer Cell 2012;22: Prognostic Diagnostic Both

3 Challenge: balancing desires and needs Incorporate the latest molecular signatures Utilize the most accurate, cutting-edge techniques Do not disrupt current clinical diagnosis and patient management Weigh the availability and cost of novel diagnostic techniques Preserve the ability for long-term clinical, experimental and etiological correlations Courtesy of Dr. David Louis Earliest record from Narrenbeschwörung (Appeal to Fools) by Thomas Murner, 1512 Don t throw the baby out with the bathwater : Das Kind mit dem Bade ausschütten Baby = roughly a century of clinicopathologic experience, tight correlations with outcome, and cost efficiency of light microscopy Bathwater = subjectivity, diagnostic pitfalls, histologic mimicry, lack of sufficient reproducibility
