- California, cancer protocols get help from CAP delegates
Since the last House of Delegates (HOD) meeting, delegates have helped shape new cancer protocols and offered support for a lawsuit filed by pathologists in California, HOD Speaker Sang Wu, MD, FCAP, reported to HOD attendees on Sunday.
Why it matters: The HOD works to ensure CAP policies and initiatives meet the needs of CAP members. Dr. Wu reviewed several key accomplishments since October:
- Delegates gave feedback on the development of new protocols for endocrine tumors and updates to breast cancer diagnoses.
- The CAP supported California pathologists' legal action involving the state's Medicaid program.
- Indiana pathologists rallied against legislation that could favor the insurance industry at the expense of pathology practice.
What's next: The HOD meets again in the fall at CAP25.
