Abstract (EN): Several standardized systems for nongynecological cytopathology have been published following the successful implementation of The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology. Each of these systems comprises a set of reporting categories accompanied by a risk of malignancy. However, in most cases, these risk of malignancy estimates have not been based on high-quality evidence and often may not be consider proper risks (because they have been estimated based on cross-sectional studies). This commentary discusses the problems related to the data used to generate these risks. To make nongynecological cytopathology reporting more evidence-based, large-scale prospective cohort studies and randomized trials, in addition to high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses, should be performed.
