Confidence in any clinical diagnostic assay requires that very similar results are obtained from identical specimens evaluated by sophisticated clinicians and institutions. The findings of this study illustrate that the diagnostic agreement between different cases of repeat resection for suspected recurrent glioblastoma can be variable. This raises concerns as pathological diagnoses are critical in directing standard and experimental care in this setting.
