In the current issue of Diseases of Esophagus, Pucher et al.¹ present a Consensus report (HERO) on standardizing the histopathological reporting of oesophago-gastrectomy resection specimens. The author’s list represents experts and colleagues from prestigious institutions of both surgery and histopathology, in the UK. Although not all the stakeholders (oncologists, epidemiologists, nurses, and patients representatives) were involved and some issues are not explored, the consensus is well focused on the histopathology assessment of surgical specimen and it helps surgeons and pathologists to understand their complex codes of communication and to agree on proper quality indicators.

组织病理学报告中的问题：食管胃切除术后外科医生和病理学家之间的关键十字路口

在最新一期的《食道疾病》中，Pucher等人。^{图 1}提出了一份关于标准化食管胃切除术标本的组织病理学报告的共识报告 (HERO)。作者的名单代表了来自英国著名的外科和组织病理学机构的专家和同事。尽管并非所有利益相关者（肿瘤学家、流行病学家、护士和患者代表）都参与其中，也没有探讨一些问题，但共识很好地集中在手术标本的组织病理学评估上，有助于外科医生和病理学家理解他们复杂的沟通规则并就适当的质量指标达成一致。
