Abstract

Cytopathology represents a well established diagnostic approach because of its limited cost, reliability, and minimal invasiveness with respect to other methodologies. The evolving complexity of the different classifications systems and the implementation of ancillary techniques to refine the diagnosis is progressively helping in the risk of malignancy stratification, and the adoption of next-generation sequencing techniques contributes to enrich this valuable tool with predictive information, which is always more essential in the tailored medicine era. The recent introduction of digital and computational pathology is further boosting the potentialities of cytopathology, aiding in the interpretation of samples to improve the cost effectiveness of large screening programs and the diagnostic efficiency within intermediate/atypical categories. Moreover, the adoption of artificial intelligence tools is promising to complement molecular investigations, representing a stimulating perspective in the cytopathology field. In this work, the authors tried to summarize the multifaceted nature of this complex and evolving field of pathology, synthesizing the most recent advances and providing the young pathologists’ perspective on this fascinating world.
