Rationale of The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytopathology: The NEW paradigm Eva M. Wojcik, MD Professor and Chair of Pathology Professor of Urology Loyola University, Chicago, Il
Why to standardize reporting? Reproducibility Improvement of communication If information in multiple locations is to be searched, shared, and synthesized when needed, we will need common vocabularies for personal, clinical and public health information Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Prospects for Care Coordination Measurement Using Electronic Data Sources, AHRQPub No. 12-0014-EF, March 2012
Why to standardize reporting of urinary cytology?
Why to standardize reporting of urinary cytology? Range of atypia 2% -30%
System has to be build based on: Consensus Evidence Inclusion Acceptance Understanding Surgeons misunderstood pathologists reports 30% of the time. Urothelial Carcinoma Powsner, SM.

What really matters? High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma
Diagnostic Categories Hope HGUC Everything else Reality Positive Atypical/Suspicious Negative
Why Paris? 18 th International Congress of Cytology, Paris, May, 2013 Paris Group all participants of two Urine Cytology Symposia Outline of the Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytopathology that is based on consensus, wide participation and evidences Ultimate goal detection of HGUC Sponsorship by the ASC and IAC Contract with Springer Numerous face-to-face meetings

Subgroups to define. I. Adequacy II. Negative III. Atypical urothelial cells IV. Suspicious V. High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma VI. Low grade urothelial carcinoma VII. Other malignancies, both primary and secondary VIII. Ancillary Studies IX. Clinical management X. Preparatory techniques relative to Urinary Tract samples

NEW paradigm It is all about High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma Negative for High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma AUC SHGUC HGUC based on quantity LGUN Low Grade Urothelial Neoplasm
What about these? LGUC?
Is a consistent cytologic diagnosis of low-grade urothelial carcinoma in instrumented urinary tract cytologic specimens possible? A comparison between cytomorphologic features of low-grade urothelial carcinoma and non-neoplastic changes shows extensive overlap, making a reliable diagnosis impossible. McCroskey Z, Kliethermes S, Bahar B, Barkan GA, Pambuccian SE, Wojcik EM Journal of American Society of Cytopathology. 2014;4:90-97. The majority of the features described previously as diagnostic for LGPUC were observed almost equally in patients with or without biopsy-proven LGPUC, regardless of whether the specimens were from the upper or the lower urinary tract Mild nuclear membrane irregularity was present in 48% of LGPUC and 47.2% of negative controls (p=0.93); mild nuclear enlargement was observed in 42.9% of LGPUC patients and 49.1% negative controls (p=0.26)
Low Grade Urothelial Neoplasm - LGUN LGUN -combined cytologic term for low grade papillary urothelial neoplasms (LGPUN)(which include urothelial papilloma, PUNLMP and LGPUC) and flat, low grade intraurothelial neoplasia
LGUC LGUN
Cytologic Criteria of Low Grade Urothelial Neoplasia (LGUN) (regardless of the specimen type: voided or instrumented): Three-dimensional cellular papillary clusters (defined as clusters of cells with nuclear overlapping, forming "papillae") with fibrovascular cores with capillaries
LGUNmay be considered in correlation with cystoscopic or biopsy findings Diagnosis -NHGUC Three-dimensional cellular clusters without fibrovascular cores Increased numbers of monotonous single (nonumbrella) cells
Cytologic Criteria of Low Grade Urothelial Neoplasia (LGUN) (regardless of the specimen type: voided or instrumented): Cell Block
