Per CAP guideline, in our reports of predictive markers(ER/PR/Her2), Pathologists need to check that the total fixation time of specimens is within the CAP guideline. Is this information readily available to the pathologists at the time of writing the report? How are others documenting this? Ha

We don't have names on slides but I wish we did!! My first thought is that there would be no more liability on having their name on the slide than on the report. I don't understand the concern. Joyce Weems Pathology Manager 678-843-7376 Phone 678-843-7831 Fax joyce.we...@emoryhealthcare.org w

Dr. Cartun is absolutely correct in always trying to use positive tissue that has been processed in your lab using the same process as your patient tissues. The control blocks offered through the Michigan society have been donated by various laboratories in the state, and have been tested prior

I use gastric resection tissue that is H. pylori positive. You can use biopsy tissue as well, but I would be careful to not cut-through the tissue in case retrospective testing is ordered. You should always try to use tissue that is fixed and processed in your own laboratory. Richard Richard

If you are currently doing IHC, you might want to consider working up the H. Pylori with it. Our docs prefer it, as it is easier to identify them on the slide. Lynette From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwester
