- Consensus paper sponsored by Rodger C. Haggitt Gastrointestinal Pathology Society (GIPS) provides histopathologic evaluation and reporting recommendations for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Focuses on three disease evolution tiers: initial diagnosis with endoscopic biopsies, disease activity assessment during colonoscopic surveillance, and evaluation of long-term prognosis after surgery.
- Includes 20 main position statements based on literature review and evidence strength, reviewed and approved by pathologists and gastroenterologists.
- Aims to standardize terminology and reporting elements to benefit practicing pathologists, with IBD-related neoplasia to be covered separately.
- Intended as the first in a dynamic series to incorporate emerging data and evolving management approaches.
