📊 The Area Under the Curve (AUC) is a single number that shows how well a model can tell categories apart. It combines sensitivity (finding true positives) and specificity (avoiding false positives) into one overall score. A perfect model has an AUC of 1.0—no missed diagnoses,

If you decide to seek a second opinion for a life altering diagnosis, I highly recommend that you have your original pathology diagnosis, when applicable, also reviewed. At many institutions this is (and should be) standard practice.

@Vik_deshpandeMD Crucial to this approach is vastly overstating the value of NGS and targeted therapy. How many low grade neoplasms with a fusion do we need and how does it help the patient when they are all treated exactly the same?

@rjhomer57 Very true—but patients are aspirational, and so are their clinicians. People want the best, and the WHO has positioned itself as the gold standard in tumor classification. I’ve seen families willing to spend a lifetime’s savings on a single genetic test, just to give their child

@Vik_deshpandeMD I couldn't agree more! The WHO blue books, over the years, have become more glossy, hyper-specialized, and genetically obsessive; they now read like love letters to billion-dollar biotech firms. Problem is, the rest of the world isn’t reading along. Because we can't.

Controversial but crucial: The new WHO Blue Books heavily rely on molecular diagnostics, tools inaccessible to up to 80% of the world’s population. Instead of addressing global inequality, they risk deepening it. Radical, inclusive change is urgently needed.

An often-forgotten figure in the history of chemotherapy is Yellapragada Subbarow, the Indian chemist who discovered aminopterin, a folic acid antagonist. Aminopterin became one of the first chemotherapy agents used by Sidney Farber in the 1940s to induce remission in children
@Vik_deshpandeMD @DanaFarber @BIDMCpath Dr. Sidney Farber was a prominent #PediPath giant, head of Pediatric Pathology at Boston Children’s Hospital, who promoted and tried chemotherapy treatment for leukemias. That was the beginning of a major medical breakthrough!
