From the inception of TBS in 1988, it has been well received by the pathology and clinical communities. The need for a unifying system of nomenclature was so great that most of the laboratories in the United States, as well as in numerous countries worldwide, quickly adopted TBS. By 1991, only 2 years after the initial publication of the initial TBS, 57% of United States laboratories were using the system. By 1994, almost 90% of laboratories were using TBS [28]. Although explanations for such a quick acceptance of TBS are many, one of the leading reasons is, most certainly, the sound and thoughtful basis for all of the elements of TBS. These include: (1) nomenclature that provides uniform diagnostic terminology to facilitate unambiguous communication between the laboratory and the clinician; (2) diagnostic categories that incorporate the latest scientific information on the pathogenesis and prognosis of cervical lesions; and (3) incorporation of the evaluation of specimen adequacy as an integral part of the report. From the beginning, TBS was more than just a diagnostic lexicon. When Drs. Kurman and Solomon decided that something had to be done about the diagnostic mess in GYN cytology, they did not develop another system. Instead, they convened an international consensus conference to look at the problem and come up with a comprehensive, relevant solution. The input from the entire community, which lent strength to the initial TBS, has continued to the present. This is highlighted by the enormous amount of input that was received by the 2001 TBS forum groups that enabled them to fine tune the existing terminology to meet the needs of today's clinicians. The result, continues to be an evolving, comprehensive, and clinically relevant entity, that should meet the needs of pathologists and clinicians for the foreseeable future.
