Abstract
Standardized pathology reporting of thyroid cancer is important for quality clinical management, research as well as education purposes. International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) has produced a Dataset for reporting carcinoma of thyroid. Of the 19 core elements to report, six (operative procedure, operative findings, specimen submitted, tumor focality, tumor site, tumor dimensions) depend on the proper macroscopic examination of the surgical specimen with thyroid carcinoma. The other core elements to report depend on proper and adequate sampling on macroscopic examination. Thus, proper handling, examination, dissection, and sampling of different types, the surgical specimen(s) are needed in different situations for patients with thyroid carcinomas.
