More consistent diagnoses begin with a shared scientific language.

"Better classification means producing more reliable knowledge and well-founded clinical decisions."

Dr. Geovanni Cassali

Pathology is not limited to naming a disease. It defines criteria, organizes evidence, and transforms morphological changes into actionable information.

In canine and feline mammary tumors, differences in terminology still hinder study comparisons. Dr. Geovanni Cassali’s work focuses on establishing clearer, reproducible criteria.

The goal is to bring together pathologists, clinicians, surgeons, oncologists, and researchers around a common language.
