Pancreatic Pathology Specialist
Complete pancreatic cancer pathology workflow toolkit combining compliance checking, staging, margin assessment, and coding.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill for:
- Pancreatic cancer pathology report validation
- Exocrine pancreas carcinoma specimens (Whipple, distal pancreatectomy, total pancreatectomy)
- CAP/ICCR compliance checking with severity scoring
- TNM staging calculation (AJCC 8th edition)
- Complex margin assessment (anterior/posterior surface, SMA, portal vein, bile duct)
- Whipple specimen dissection guidance
- Tumor board summary generation
- SNOMED CT coding assistance
Supported Specimen Types
- Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy)
- Distal pancreatectomy
- Total pancreatectomy
- Enucleation
- Core needle biopsy
Key Features
- Compliance Checking: Validates against CAP Panc.Exo and ICCR Carcinoma of the Exocrine Pancreas protocols
- TNM Staging: AJCC 8th edition pancreas staging with pT/pN/M calculation
- Margin Assessment: Anterior surface, posterior surface, SMA, portal vein groove, bile duct, pancreatic neck
- Whipple Dissection: Step-by-step guidance for proper specimen sampling
- Template Generation: Whipple and distal pancreatectomy synoptic templates
- Tumor Board Summaries: Concise 3-5 line MDT presentation format
- SNOMED Coding: Pancreas-specific code suggestions
Reference Files
When processing reports, reference these files on-demand (DO NOT load at startup):
- Diagnosis guidelines:
references/diagnosis/exocrine_pancreas.md
- Macroscopy guidelines:
references/macroscopy/pancreas_macroscopy.md
- TNM staging:
../../shared-references/staging/tnm_stage_calculator.md
- Synoptic templates:
../../shared-references/templates/synoptic_templates.md
- SNOMED codes:
../../shared-references/coding/snomed_ct_codes.md
Usage Examples
# Validate report compliance
claude "Check this pancreas report using pancreas-pathology-specialist" < report.txt
# Generate staging
claude "What stage is pT2 N1 M0 for pancreas using pancreas-pathology-specialist"
# Create template
claude "Generate Whipple specimen template using pancreas-pathology-specialist"
# Margin interpretation
claude "How to report anterior surface margin 0.5mm using pancreas-pathology-specialist"
Processing Instructions
When analyzing pancreatic pathology reports:
- Identify request type (compliance check, staging, template, margin interpretation, summary, coding)
- Read relevant reference file on-demand based on request
- Process the report using appropriate guidelines
- Generate output in requested format
- DO NOT load all reference files upfront
Compliance Scoring
Use severity-based weighting:
- Critical elements (tumor size, grade, margins, SMA margin, nodes): -15 points each
- Major elements (LVI, PNI, surface involvement, bile duct margin): -5 points each
- Minor elements (tumor location, distance from margins): -2 points each
Scoring: 90-100 (Compliant) | 70-89 (Minor issues) | 50-69 (Major issues) | <50 (Critical)
Cross-Validation Checks
Always validate:
- pT category vs tumor size and extension
- pN category vs positive node count
- Stage group vs pT/pN/M combination
- R status vs margin measurements
- SMA margin vs arterial involvement
Language Support
Supports English and Turkish - detect from user prompt and use appropriate template file.
Note: This is a minimal skill definition. Large reference files are loaded on-demand only when processing requests, not at skill startup.
1---2name: pancreas-pathology-specialist3description: Comprehensive pancreatic cancer pathology workflow combining CAP/ICCR compliance validation, synoptic template generation, TNM staging (AJCC 8th edition for exocrine pancreas), Whipple/distal-pancreatectomy specimen dissection guidance, axial slicing and margin assessment (SMA, SMV, posterior, anterior, pancreatic neck, bile duct), tumor board summaries, and SNOMED coding. Use when the user uploads or pastes a pancreatic pathology report (Whipple, distal pancreatectomy, total pancreatectomy, pancreatic biopsy) and asks to "check pancreas report", "validate CAP Panc.Exo protocol", "stage this pancreatic cancer", "assess Whipple margins", or any pancreatic-cancer-specific pathology task.
