While LVSI is currently included in some clinical risk assessment algorithms, the reproducibility of diagnosing LVSI remains understudied in cervical SCC. We aimed to assess the inter\u2010observer agreement for LVSI diagnosis using digital whole slide images (WSIs) of haematoxylin and eosin\u2010stained (H&amp;E) slides with presumed true LVSI (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200920) and LVSI mimics (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200920) from early\u2010stage cervical SCC identified in an international cohort.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The reference diagnosis for LVSI status was established by 2 pathologists through consensus review. Ten independent pathologists from North and South America, Europe, Asia and South Africa were included for blinded scoring of true LVSI versus LVSI mimics. Complete concordance was seen in 57% of cases. Overall percent agreement was 88% with the \u03ba value being 0.76, reflecting substantial agreement on LVSI diagnosis based on H&amp;E WSIs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings support the diagnostic feasibility and reliability of including LVSI as a parameter in routine histologic evaluation for risk stratification of cervical SCC.
