Learning Objectives:
  • Explain how transparency and manufacturer partnerships improve quality, consistency, and decision-making confidence in specimen management.
  • Evaluate blood collection tubes beyond cost and commodity assumptions, incorporating clinical impact and risk into decision-making.
  • Assess the potential risk points when using a blood collection device that has not been cleared for a specific purpose.

Roundtable presenters Nick Fingland, PhD, PMP, Senior Director, R&D Operations and Science, BD, and Chris Farnsworth, PhD, D(ABCC), Section Head of Clinical Chemistry, Professor of Pathology and Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine.

From the President’s Desk: A summit, a park, and parting words

September 2019—The CAP will sponsor next May the Pathologists Leadership Summit in Washington, DC. This is not just another meeting where you’ll learn to deal with changes happening around you that feel as if they are out of your control. No. This is a radical reinvention of a meeting where members will come together to achieve something specific—and move pathology forward.

September 2019—It’s a simple and nearly airtight communication strategy: Tell someone something verbally and then share the same message with them in writing to make sure they understood you. Following this logic, a group of surgical pathologists at the University of Minnesota Medical Center made an assumption that if their intraoperative consultation results were made available to surgeons in written form during surgery as documentation of verbal communication—either in person or via telephone—the frequency of communication errors would be reduced.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

September 2019—Pathologists play a critical role in patient diagnosis, and a shortage of pathologists may result in overwork, diminished quality of work, diagnostic errors, and delay in diagnosis. The authors of this study examined trends in the total U.S. pathologist workforce, using the Canadian pathologist workforce as a reference.

Validation of 2016 ITBCC recommendations for tumor budding in stages I–IV colorectal cancer
September 2019—Tumor budding is a robust prognostic parameter in colorectal cancer and can be used as an additional factor to guide patient management. Although backed by large bodies of data, a standardized scoring method is essential for integrating tumor budding into reporting protocols.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

September 2019—The pathologist’s ability to interpret the complex spatial organization within and between cells and intercellular matrices is the basic underlying principle of morphologic pathology. Even in the genomic era, molecular genetic information is not clinically useful without tissue context. Modern spatial capturing methods, either by low-fidelity light microscopy or high-fidelity electron microscopy, cannot concomitantly interrogate a nucleic acid sequence.
