Ten strategies for wider use of cystatin C testing

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.

Experts talk sequencing platforms and pressures

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.

Unsatisfactory Paps—recommendations, remedies

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.

AI in cytology: where digital meets diagnostic

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.

Complimentary online CME/CE activity for NGC program enrollees

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.

From the President’s Desk

May 2026—The CAP recently reached a record high of over 20,000 members, strengthening its advocacy efforts. Through PathPAC, the CAP engages with federal policymakers to advocate for pathologists and patient care. The CAP also advocates for the pathology community through its involvement with the AMA.
