[Guidelines for the macroscopic studies of surgically resected lung specimens. Proposal for a anatomo-pathologic standardized form for the examination of pulmonary cancer].
We present practice guidelines for the examination of lung specimens removed for cancer, and pulmonary biopsies performed for interstitial lung diseases. In addition, we propose a standardized form for the reporting of lung cancer. This approach takes place in looking for better quality and should facilitate the use of the morphologic data, particularly in multicentric studies.
