PATHOLOGY INTEGRATION of STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION INTEGRATION CONTEXT
PATHOLOGY Interpretation of morphologic alterations requires knowledge of and integration of structure, function, natural history, etiology and clinical context. Armed with this information, pathology provides integrative biology. Without this information, histopathology is useless.
VALIDATION: Pathology’s New Challenge VERIFICATION: Yes, that is a tumor of the mammary gland. VALIDATION: …a malignant neoplasm of the mammary gland (adenocarcinoma, mammary gland) initiated by the Her2/neu gene with a solid, lobular pattern and cells with oval, uniform nuclei and relatively abundant cytoplasm. The tumor resembles lobular carcinoma of the human breast because it….
PERLSof the Information Age Validation is a process that accurately matches words (terminology) and/or pictures (images). Validation requires comparison words or images that define the characteristics of mouse and human tumors. Model Validation is the process of delineating the attributes (characteristics) of an experimental system that accurately match the attributes (characteristics) of human disease.
PERLS The characteristicsare documented by images obtained using technical protocolsand described using terminology. The MMHCC Steering Committee has asked the MMHCC Pathologists to provide all four.
PERLS • Controlled vocabulary. What do YOUmean? (Diagnostic Terminology) • Description Logic: How doYOUdescribe it? (Characteristics) • Objects: How will YOUrepresent it? (Images) • Machine Languages: WillMYcomputer understand and integrate it? Will THEIRcomputers retrieve and use it? (Protocols) • Integration:Pathology will integratestructure and function. BUT,Pathologists will need to learn and use computer languages.

CONCLUSIONS: • Structure and Function: • Genotype (genes) predicted by the structure of the tumor (phenotype). • Pathway Pathologyidentifies the “target genes” • Integration requires controlled vocabulary and description logic. • Validation requires the detailed characterization by the pathologists and their colleagues.
