METHODSThe process used in development of this document was designed to represent both underlying evidence and a broad consensus of ITMIG members. An initial workgroup consisting of pathologists and surgeons (Mark Wick, Cesar Moran, Saul Suster, James Huang, Frank Detterbeck, Garrett Walsh, and Larry Kaiser) was assembled to review literature relevant to the issues, existing standards (ie, the College of Anatomic Pathologists and the Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology), 3, 4 and to discuss technical aspects and areas in which no prior work was available. This workgroup formulated preliminary recommendations, which were refined by an extended workgroup (Alexander Marx, Alberto Marchevsky, William Travis, Andrew Nicholson, Cameron Wright, Federico Venuta, Paul van Schil, Marco Lucchi, Meinoshin Okumura, and Kazuya Kondo) and disseminated to all ITMIG members for further discussion and input. These recommendations were refined with input from the entire ITMIG membership and with insights gained from pilot implementation at several larger centers and ultimately approved for adoption by the ITMIG members.
