Interobserver variation in the reporting of local peritoneal involvement and extramural venous invasion in colonic cancer
Histopathology, 10/15/09

Littleford SE et al. – Using Shepherd's grading system there was good agreement between pathologists in reporting LPI in colonic carcinomas. The reporting of EMVI in colonic carcinomas on haematoxylin and eosin–stained slides had only poor to moderate agreement however, even amongst gastrointestinal pathologists working together in a single unit. Introduction of standardized criteria and/or the use of an elastin stain in the diagnosis of EMVI may assist in improving interobserver agreement.
