ANP.11665 refers to a non PA or non pathologist grossing tissue. CAP calls grossing tissue "processing specimens". There has to be a manual with all grossing techniques such as "Ackermans' Pathology" or a manual made at the site. ANP.22990 deals with performing FISH & ISH, there should be tech samples that can be ordered from CAP, I would check the web site. But if you do not perform FISH or ISH, the question is N/A.

Are . there written procedures for processing specimens. Is this referring to tech's or to residents that are grossing. We only have pathology residents grossing and taking care of specimens. What are predictive markers, this refers to ANP.22990. This is a new checklist question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
