| 37753557 | Fascial plane mapping for superficial tumor resection in dogs. Part III: Hindlimb and pelvis. | Latifi M, Skinner OT, Schroeder MM, Mickelson MA | Vet Surg | 2024 Apr |
| Reason for interest: Mapping of fascial planes may allow more accurate removal of tumors while sparing as much tissue as possible. | ||||
| 32179675 | The intelligent knife (iKnife) and its intraoperative diagnostic advantage for the treatment of cervical disease. | Tzafetas M, Mitra A, Paraskevaidi M, Bodai Z, Kalliala I, Bowden S, et al. | Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A | 2020 Mar 31 |
| Reason for interest: The Intelligent knife effectively distinguished cancer from noncancer tissue intraoperatively when compared to histology. | ||||

| 35326681 | Vet-ICD-O-Canine-1, a System for Coding Canine Neoplasms Based on the Human ICD-O-3.2. | Pinello K, Baldassarre V, Steiger K, Paciello O, Pires I, Laufer-Amorim R, et al. | Cancers (Basel) | 2022 Mar 16 |
| Reason for interest: This establishes a coding system compatible with the current human oncology coding system (ICD-O) for neoplasms in dogs. This allows for establishing a canine cancer registry that would be of maximum utility in both canine and one-health studies. | ||||
| 36735507 | ||||
| Reason for interest: This examined uncertainty as understood by clinical pathologists vs. as understood by clinicians. This highlights the need for standardization across groups to ensure information is conveyed accurately. | ||||
| 34282984 | ||||
| Reason for interest: This is the paper establishing the foundations for the VCGP. | ||||
| 34272982 | ||||
| Reason for interest: This study found significant differences in opinions of pathologists and non-pathologists in the meanings of various phrases used to express uncertainty; in addition, there were differences between different groups of clinicians on the meaning of several words. They suggest standardizing language to express uncertainty to improve communications between pathologists and clinicians. | ||||
