[Prospects and approaches to improving pathologo-anatomic services from the standpoint of the therapist]

The paper defines the morphologic basis of modern clinical medicine as one of the determining factors of its further development. Approaches to improvement of studies of the life-time biopsy specimens are discussed, as well as variants of cooperation between the pathoanatomists and clinical morphologists. The system of pathoanatomical reports, the work of treatment- and- control commissions and conferences on clinical anatomy are considered from the physician's point of view. Optimal measures should be taken to make the analysis of the physician's errors comprehensive and useful. Combined efforts are needed for the further improvement of the nomenclature, classification and terminologic characteristics of the diseases. Closer interactions between the pathoanatomists and therapists are suggested.
