New CAP Guidelines: Lung Specimens

The College of American Pathologists (CAP) has released new guidelines for lung specimens to help ensure that patients get the best diagnostic testing. Patients battling lung disease are frequently diagnosed through minimally invasive procedures that allow clinicians to perform vital ancillary tests on increasingly small specimens. But how small is too small? What is considered adequate for ancillary testing? And what are the essential steps to ensure that an adequate specimen is collected? 

Medical laboratories are intrinsic to the ultimate well-being of patients everywhere. That's never been more evident than now, during our current public health crisis. As a professional membership organization focused on delivering the services and programs members need, the College of American Pathologists serves an essential role in making people healthier.
