Experience with telepathology for the diagnostic confirmation of mesothelioma

Published on 1 January 2015 Updated on 6 September 2019

In practice, telepathology is defined as the ability to examine histological slides using virtual slides that are analogous to physical slides, and to reach a histological diagnosis without compromising the standards of quality, safety, and speed achieved during a conventional microscopic examination. In this article, we report on the experience of the Mesothelioma Network regarding the standardized certification of mesothelioma diagnoses by the National Reference Center [CNR] MESOPATH, the challenges and benefits of using this new technology, the constraints and future of this tool, and the IT solutions required for its implementation.
