Depends on who is examining the slides. There have been instances here of people being told that they did not have cancer -- only to find out that they did when the slides were later read by pathologists at a CCC who specialize in head and neck cancers and see this every day. They can pick up on things that run-of-the-mill path labs miss because those labs don't see oral cancer often enough to recognize subtle differences. This is why Sloan wants to see the slides, rather than rely on another pathologist's interpretation of the slides.
