Figure 1 Flowchart presenting an overview of selection of conclusions from pathology reports after manual screening of 7989 pathology conclusion texts. After application of exclusion criteria, 3052 unique patient conclusions were eligible for diagnostic nomenclature analysis. PALGA, Dutch Pathology Registry; SCLC, small cell lung cancer; NSCC, non–small cell cancer; LCC, large cell carcinoma; DIPNEC, diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia; NEC, neuroendocrine carcinoma; NOS, not otherwise specified; DD, differential diagnosis; Ca, carcinoma; Diff, differentiation.

Figure 2 An overview of diagnoses with non-WHO nomenclature versus diagnoses made according to the WHO nomenclature and separated for the following clusters: carcinoid, high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma and LCC/NSCC, and carcinoma with neuroendocrine features or differentiation. The exact number of all retrieved diagnoses based on non-WHO nomenclature can be found in Supplementary Table 1. WHO, World Health Organization; NOS, not otherwise specified; Diff, differentiation; NSCC, non–small cell carcinoma; LCC, large cell carcinoma.

Figure 3 (A) Overview of all diagnoses clustered as carcinoid and separated for type of sampling method. (B) Overview of all diagnoses clustered as high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas and separated for type of sampling method. (C) Overview of sampling methods used to diagnose all typical/atypical and carcinoid NOS diagnoses from 2003 to (D) Overview of sampling methods used to diagnose LCNEC from 2003 to *The diagnosis of carcinoid NOS presented here is a combination of the diagnoses “carcinoid, no atypical features; carcinoid, unsure whether typical or atypical; and carcinoid NOS” from Supplementary Table 1. †Here the nonsurgically obtained biopsy specimen is a referral for the cluster of transbronchial and endobronchial biopsy specimens and needle biopsy specimens. WHO, World Health Organization; NOS, not otherwise specified; SCLC, small cell lung cancer; LCNEC large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma; NSCLC, non–small cell lung cancer; LCNEM, large cell carcinoma with neuroendocrine morphological features but not neuroendocrine immunohistochemistrical staining results.
