How retrieval works

Each case is parsed into anatomic site, immunophenotype, molecular findings, morphologic pattern and named entities. Several complementary queries are then run against indexed peer-reviewed literature — one each for immunophenotype interpretation, morphologic differential, classification and reporting, the consultation question, molecular correlation, and foundational references.

Results are gated on the organ system and on query-specific anchor terms, scored on weighted topical fit, then balanced so that a single query intent or a run of case reports cannot fill the evidence set. Journal standing, recency and citation count act only as tie-breakers between passages that are already on topic.

The consultation model receives these passages with identifiers and may cite them only by identifier. The server resolves identifiers back into references it already holds, so a fabricated citation cannot reach you.

Retrieved sources

Authoritative frameworks

These are licence-restricted and are surfaced as directory references for you to consult directly. They are never reproduced as evidence text.

Evidence hierarchy and conflict resolution

For tumour classification and diagnostic criteria: current WHO Blue Books and expert diagnostic references, then organ-specific consensus guidelines, then high-quality peer-reviewed literature, then supportive references.

For reporting, staging and biomarkers: CAP, ICCR and AJCC take priority within their scope.

When sources conflict, the disagreement is identified and the newest authoritative classification applicable to the question is favoured, with the uncertainty stated rather than silently resolved.

Access and copyright

Authorised access does not grant redistribution rights. Subscription and copyrighted resources are integrated only in accordance with their licences. The application synthesises and cites evidence rather than reproducing substantial copyrighted text.

What the browser checks

The intake form scans for common identifier patterns — record-number phrasing, date formats, national identifier formats, phone numbers and email addresses — and warns you. This is a convenience check with real limits: it will miss identifiers it does not recognise, and it is not a substitute for your organisation's privacy review.

What happens to images

Images are downscaled and re-encoded in your browser before leaving the device. Re-encoding discards EXIF and other embedded metadata, including acquisition details and any geolocation. It does not remove identifiers that are visually burned into the image itself — check slide labels and annotations yourself.

What it does

The workflow organises case context, morphology, images, immunohistochemistry, ancillary testing and the diagnostic question into a consistent intake, retrieves relevant peer-reviewed literature, and returns a structured consultation that cites that evidence, with each citation checked against its claim.

It does not replace pathologist judgement. The connected model is constrained to preserve uncertainty, distinguish observation from inference, cite only supplied evidence and avoid inventing findings.

Identity

The mark combines a microscope with connected nodes — pathology expertise joined to computational analysis. It appears in the product header, the loading sequence and the site favicon.
