| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily T1: IIRC, the oncologist collects tissue (or fluid) from the suspected cancer, then the pathologist analyzes it to determine if it IS cancer, and if so, what type. Right? #LCSM |

| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD A1: I'll kick things off. Pathologists are the physicians who diagnose whether one’s biopsy tissue is cancerous or not. It’s important, because lesions in the lung can be many things, for example, they can be infectious, or benign tumors, or malignant tumors. #LCSM |

| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD A2: The tissue is processed so that it lies in a block of paraffin; the block is then thinly sectioned & a very thin piece of the tissue is cut and put on a glass slide. #LCSM |

| Jill Feldman @jillfeldman4 T2 What is a frozen section and how often is it accurate? #LCSM |
| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD A2: Then the tissue is then stained so that it can be easily examined. After it is labeled & covered so the tissue doesn’t get lost, it is ready to be examined by the pathologist. #LCSM |

| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily @plh4lisa @TimAllenMDJD Are you asking about when the paraffin gets applied to slides? #LCSM |
| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD Frozen sections are intraoperative consultations where the pathologist directs the surgeon on how to proceed with the patient's surgery. The pathologist looks at the tissue within a few minutes of it being removed from the patient. #LCSM |

| Lisa Moran @plh4lisa @JFreemanDaily @TimAllenMDJD Yes. I saw I asked after the A was posted. #lcsm |
| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily @TimAllenMDJD T2: Does all the collected tissue get put in one block of paraffin, or is it divided into multiple blocks so you can make more slides to support more tests? #LCSM |
| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD The paraffin is used as part of the laboratory's processing of the patient's tissue, in order that a glass slide can be made for the pathologist to review and make a diagnosis. #LCSM |
| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD A2: Once a diagnosis of lung cancer is made by the pathologist, additional slides from the tissue block can be stained to better characterize the cancer (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, etc.) & when appropriate, slides can be stained for molecular & immuno testing. #LCSM |

 | Dr. David Tom Cooke @DavidCookeMD T2 A frozen section is a quick "H and E" look at tissue, often prepared in a special pathology lab in the operating rooms. This is a valuable pathology service that helps surgeons decide such thins as do we have the right specimen, and are the resection margins ok. #LCSM |

| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily RT @TimAllenMDJD: A4: A4: Most molecular biomarker testing is performed on lung adenocarcinomas rather than on squamous cell carcinomas or small cell carcinomas. That is because adenocarcinomas may respond to molecular therapies when the biomarker indicates. #LCSM |

| Danielle Pardue @Actorielle RT @JFreemanDaily: @plh4lisa @TimAllenMDJD We know for a fact that not all clinics/physicians adopt new guidelines as soon as they're published. It takes a while for standard of care to adjust to new guidelines, and LC guidelines are changing REALLY fast. #LCSM |
| #LCSM Chat @lcsmchat RT @TimAllenMDJD: Don't hesitate to call your pathologist or schedule a time to review your own case. We are the physicians that diagnose the patient's disease, and by doing so start them on their journey for treatment. And hopefully recovery! #PatientsFirst #LCSM |
 | Dennis Keim @denniskeim RT @israhkhan: #LCSM This is an example of Squamous cell carcinoma. In this immunotherapy is helpful (treatment by Keytruda). So if tumor cells are positive for PDL1 these patients generally are responsive to Keytruda. The immunostain here used is p40 (slide 3) https://t.co/SOGHt6AnN5 |
| Danielle Pardue @Actorielle RT @TimAllenMDJD: It's this face to face communication that can sometimes make all the difference. Sometimes there are subtleties that are difficult to explain with a phone call to the surgeon in the operative suite I also like to go to the op suite and speak to the thoracic surgeon directly #LCSM |
| #LCSM Chat @lcsmchat RT @TimAllenMDJD: We’re in our final minutes - closing thoughts? #LCSM |
| #LCSM Chat @lcsmchat RT @kasedill: @TimAllenMDJD T5 I learned from a fabulous pathologist that mine is adenosquamous and approx 4% of all NSCLC has this diagnosis. #LCSM |

 | الـفيزياء الطبيـة☢ @aleneziahmed1 RT @RadiologyACR: Using #CT with radiation doses as low as those from plain x-rays, researchers were able to catch sold lung nodules with 98.5 percent sensitivity and 100 percent specificity via @RadiologyBiz https://t.co/nlPO2QVSJZ #lcsm #lungcancer |

 | Brad Zang @Bradzang RT @TimAllenMDJD: A4: A4: Most molecular biomarker testing is performed on lung adenocarcinomas rather than on squamous cell carcinomas or small cell carcinomas. That is because adenocarcinomas may respond to molecular therapies when the biomarker indicates. #LCSM |
| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD It has been my great pleasure. And I agree; every day is fascinating to me as a lung pathologist. No burnout here. #LCSM #PatientsFirst |
| KC Dill @kasedill @TimAllenMDJD I enjoy learning about all aspects of lc Thank you as always #lcsm. I look forward to chatting each month so much my kiddos know which night it is..#Lcsm |
| Steve Holderness @dark_hawk_98 @kasedill @TimAllenMDJD From now on your oncologist should consider you his living unicorn I tease my oncologist about that myself (being his unicorn) now that I am 6+ year survivor of Stage IIIA NSCLC Squamous. #LCSM |

| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily RT @TimAllenMDJD: Yes, shout out and many thanks to @IASLC #LCSM |
| Mary Jo Robinson @mjrobin6714 RT @et565: @TimAllenMDJD But seriously, molecular pathologists need to stay up to date with the current literature and know which tests will add value. Meaning, which tests will help with prognosis, diagnosis AND possible treatments. That is how a molecular pathologist adds value to the team. #lcsm |
| Dr. David Tom Cooke @DavidCookeMD Yes. All of oncology is emotionally stressful. Across all disciplines and stakeholders. But #LCSM is here to help! |
| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD #lcsm |
| Mary Jo Robinson @mjrobin6714 RT @israhkhan: #LCSM Many a times we pathologists are not lucky to have enough cells to do molecular testing. For example in this cell block we have only 24 tumor cells, which is not enough for any test. https://t.co/1b6FN45b9k |
