This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.

July 2017—Putting pathology at the center of precision medicine: Michael H. Roehrl, MD, PhD, pathologist and director of the Precision Pathology Biobanking Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, would like to see more joint development of companion diagnostics—pathologists and industry working together. It would lead, in his view, to better companion diagnostics.
June 2017—Mass spectrometry has been gaining acceptance for routine assays in clinical laboratories. The 6th Annual AACC Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Separation Sciences for Laboratory Medicine, held in fall 2016, spotlighted best practices in the use of mass spectrometry testing for patient-centered care.
June 2017—To the business world, “appropriate technology” may evoke the era of tie-dyed shirts, bead curtains, and Mother Earth News. But the term, coined by Small Is Beautiful author E.F. Schumacher in 1973, comes close to describing the goal of health care systems as they opt to expand their facility footprint with freestanding emergency departments (FSEDs).
June 2017—The new FDA-enabled milestone in pathology—approval in April of whole slide imaging for primary diagnosis—allows pathology to dip its toe into the technological revolution that has already transformed other fields. Widespread adoption will take time, training, and money, but it no longer awaits breakthrough approval.
June 2017—For laboratories and blood centers, thinking about safety is second nature, like rain in Seattle or sunshine in San Diego. Everyone understands the need to prevent transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease, and standards, protocols, and habits have settled in to ensure a safe blood supply.
June 2017—He is a family medicine physician who did a residency and is board certified in clinical pathology. And even he asks his clinical pathology colleagues “day in and day out” which test to do and what to do with the results.
June 2017—We typically define “normal” or “true” from the perspective of our local communities and social circles. This reliance on the familiar can compromise communication effectiveness when we don’t appropriately consider the audience. And as the exchange of information continues to accelerate, the impact on what constitutes an authoritative assessment evolves similarly. Sometimes we don’t stop to think.
June 2017—Kevin B. Dole, MD, 68, a member of the CAP Board of Governors from 2001 to 2007, died April 23 of metastatic pancreatic cancer. He had served as a member of the Councils on Government and Professional Affairs and on Public Affairs and as chair of the Council on Membership and Professional Development. He was a member of more than a dozen committees, among them Credentials, CLIA Implementation, Practice Guidelines, and Federal and State Affairs (which he chaired). He was named Pathologist of the Year in 2009.
June 2017—CAP Press released in May Patient Safety in Anatomic & Clinical Pathology Laboratories. Editor Deborah Sesok-Pizzini, MD, MBA, and 11 additional contributors cover handoff communications, technology, tools and methods, human factors, a patient safety curriculum, and more. Dr. Pizzini is chief of blood bank and transfusion medicine in, and vice-chief of, the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She is the department safety officer for CHOP Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and she is a professor of clinical pathology and laboratory medicine, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. We asked her about the new book. Here is what she told us.
June 2017—In the chapter “Diagnostic Errors and Cognitive Bias” in Patient Safety in Anatomic & Clinical Pathology Laboratories, Stephen S. Raab, MD, writes about pathology work process and cognitive failures, pattern recognition and cognitive strategies, interpretive error, and mitigation and improving safety. Here is his section on pathologist cognition. Dr. Raab is a professor of pathology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson.
