Some approaches to the perfection of histooncological diagnoses

Inaccuracy, inadequate use of histooncological diagnosis and deficient use of the diagnostic scope have been found in our set of examinations. Responsibility for diagnostic errors resided most frequently in poor knowledge of the problem. Therefore more consistent postgraduate training in histooncological classification and codification is advisable. Periodically appearing revisions of the state of knowledge would also be a welcome contribution. Second diagnostic reading adds to the completeness and precision of oncological diagnosis, and should be more encouraged. Computer-based expert system helps to remind the users in specific situations of all the essential facts, thus making it sure that none of the diagnostic possibilities can be overlooked. The idea of systematic comparisons between the standard base of knowledge and practical histooncological diagnostics is an optimistic program of continuous inovation.
