As a Pathologist Assistant (PA-ASCP) in the United States, I recognized early on the standards we apply to breast specimens would eventually need to be applied to all cancer and suspected cancer specimens. Developing systems to identify all the needed factors (ischemic time, etc) are key. Not only for current diagnoses but for data collection and analysis. Putting this information into the pathology report in a data field (as opposed to a text field) is a first step.
