Improving Pathology Reports
from CANCER BUZZ Hosted by Timothy Craig Allen
Precision medicine is increasingly critical to selecting the right treatment for patients with cancer, but pathology reporting can be lengthy, complex, and confusing—especially in this fast-paced molecular era. According to Dr. Timothy C. Allen, one key to moving precision medicine forward lies in simplifying and standardizing pathology reports so patients can be better informed, understand their prognosis, and own the progress of their therapies. Hear how ACCC has conducted several analyses, surveys, and focus groups to pinpoint challenges as well as opportunities to improve pathology reports for both patients and providers.
