Serous fluids are a common but important specimen type in a cytopathology laboratory. There is as yet no agreed standardized terminology to allow uniformity in reporting on these specimens. Given that serous fluids are a rich source of cytopathological as well as molecular information on a range of benign and often advanced malignant conditions, a unified approach to handling and reporting these specimens covering the pre-analytical, analytical and postanalytical stages seems timely. Representatives of the international cytology community have come together once again to develop an algorithmic diagnostic and management approach to the reporting of these samples.

公告：浆液细胞病理学国际报告系统。

浆液是细胞病理学实验室中常见但重要的标本类型。尚无统一的标准化术语来统一这些标本的报告。鉴于浆液是一系列良性且通常为晚期恶性疾病的细胞病理学和分子信息的丰富来源，采用统一的方法处理和报告这些标本涵盖了分析前，分析和分析后阶段似乎是及时的。国际细胞学界的代表再次汇聚在一起，以开发一种算法诊断和管理方法来报告这些样品。
