LRG Data Leads to Change
The College of American Pathologists (CAP) released an updated version of its GIST Biopsy and Resection Cancer Protocols. Pathologists use CAP Cancer Protocols in the process of diagnosing a disease.
LRG Assisted in CAP Guidelines Modifications with a Diagnostic Algorithm
The LRG, in collaboration with the Pediatric & SDH-Deficient GIST Consortium and key opinion leaders among the GIST pathology community (with Dr. Brian Rubin taking the lead), played a significant role in changing CAP Guidelines. CAP Guidelines are protocols for pathologists to instruct them on the process of diagnosing a disease based on tumor tissue samples.
