The development of consensus guidelines typically involves a multi-step process:
Literature Review: Experts conduct a comprehensive review of existing literature to gather evidence on specific histological methods and their outcomes. Expert Panel: A panel of specialists in the field is assembled to discuss and evaluate the evidence. Drafting Guidelines: Based on the evidence and expert opinions, draft guidelines are formulated. Public Consultation: The draft guidelines are often subjected to public consultation where feedback from the broader scientific community is solicited. Finalization: The feedback is reviewed and incorporated into the final guidelines, which are then published and disseminated.
