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.
April 2026—It’s hard to mount an argument against the Great Plains. Nor is there much reason to. But drive across eastern Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, or the Dakotas, and it is a bona fide thrill to arrive in Wyoming’s northwest corner and see the Grand Tetons rising up in spectacular fashion.
April 2026—Artificial intelligence, circulating tumor DNA, trial data: ASCO 2026 next month in Chicago will feature platforms, technologies, and therapeutic approaches once considered future concepts in cancer diagnosis and care. What comes now is less flashy than a breakthrough advance perhaps, but no less significant. As Janice Lu, MD, PhD, puts it, “The real work now is disciplined clinical translation: validation, collaboration, and implementation, in ways that truly improve patient care.”
April 2026—Revisions and additions to the CAP transfusion medicine accreditation checklist released last year were made to safeguard patients, donors, and the blood bank inventory.
April 2026—Point-of-care (POC) testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is crucial for combating the rising STI rates, particularly among marginalized groups.
