That is a very strange question by your pathologists, since they are the ones doing the reporting. If they follow the reporting guidelines and arrive to a 2+ result, they should report it. Another question would be: are our lab's 2+ reports above the "mean" for other labs? The answer to this question can be done only if your find out the 2+ percentage for all labs is, and compare with yours. I think that your pathologists should contact CAP to find out if there are statistics on this issue. René J.
