Quality in Cancer Diagnosis (diagnostic pathology)



Summary

The quality of oncologic pathology testing currently is focused on the evaluation of testing steps involved in the ordering, procuring, processing, interpreting, reporting, and decision making based on pathology test results. Most errors in cancer diagnosis are related to several factors and not simply a pathologist's interpretation. Clinical practitioners may improve the safety of oncologic pathology testing services by facilitating communication between clinical services and pathology laboratories at all levels of testing.
