 Cancer Protocols

  

Updated May 20, 2013

Comment on the Pituitary Cancer Protocol

The following proposed protocol has been adapted from the previously published article in Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Vol 135, May 2011, “Protocol for the Examination of Specimens from Patients with Primary Pituitary Tumors”.

The Committees respectfully request your feedback on the proposed protocol, including the utility and need for a Pituitary Protocol. Thank you for your time.

The information, data, and draft recommendations and summaries provided by the College of American Pathologists are presented for informational and public feedback purposes only. The draft recommendations and summaries will be removed from this website on May 24, 2013. These draft materials should not be stored, adapted, or redistributed in any manner.

International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR)

The International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) is a quadripartite group, which includes Pathology Colleges and Associations of the USA, UK, Canada and Australia (representing a population of approximately 450 million). The group was established in 2011 to examine the practicability of developing common, internationally agreed and evidence-based cancer pathology data sets (CPDS).

Important Notes

Pathologists can and should begin using the updated protocols as soon as possible after web posting. Vendors should undertake implementation of the new checklists into their products as soon as possible.

The CAP recognizes that full implementation by some institutions and laboratory informatics software vendors may require a period of months. The CAP plans to recognize an 8 month period of overlap for LAP accredited laboratories in which either the previous or new version of the protocol may be used.
