May 2026—When it comes to cancer mutations, there are big fish in little ponds, and little fish in big ponds, and big fish in big ponds, and little fish in little ponds. The ESR1 mutation and its emergence in advanced breast cancer is still deciding what stripe of fish it is—or rather, breast specialists, researchers, and the FDA are in the midst of figuring out potentially important uses …
May 2026—Two years after the Food and Drug Administration approved the first HPV self-collection devices, physicians and cervical cancer prevention advocates are debating the best use for the new screening option.
May 2026—In the laboratory general accreditation checklist in the 2025 edition, released last December, is new emphasis on a prospective risk assessment process in the laboratory’s quality management …
May 2026—Preserving tissue for molecular and other biomarker studies is top of mind for many, and in a CAP25 lung cancer session last fall, an approach to doing so was presented.
May 2026—Has your blood collection container been validated for the assays you have employed it for? At what point does a verification of a blood collection tube become a validation, and how is a laboratory supposed to know when this threshold has been crossed and what actions to take?
May 2026—Cystatin C has notable advantages over serum creatinine as a biomarker of kidney filtration: fewer nonglomerular filtration rate determinants, more accurate dosing of medications with narrow therapeutic windows for individuals with obesity or low muscle mass, and greater accuracy in determining eligibility for a kidney transplant or for a simultaneous liver-kidney or heart-kidney transplant.
May 2026—The fast-changing world of sequencing was the topic that a panel of pathologists and industry representatives dug into in a Feb. 27 online roundtable, led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle.
May 2026—The Papanicolaou test has been a model for cancer screening and prevention since its introduction well over half a century ago. Despite the evolution and innovations in HPV vaccination, testing methodologies, reporting systems, and treatment algorithms, cervicovaginal and lower genital tract cytology continues to be a workhorse for providers and laboratories.
May 2026—Digital pathology has evolved substantially over the past decade. What started primarily as a platform for image storage now supports educational initiatives, remote signout, consultation, and image analysis deployment.
May 2026—Education is one of the CAP’s core missions, closely linked to its commitment to advocacy and excellence in practice. In addition to its overarching laboratory improvement programs, the CAP provides educational offerings in a variety of formats, designed to satisfy the learning needs of its members and of a diverse group of laboratory professionals.
