From the Operating Room to the Laboratory: Pre-Analytic Considerations
The course contains the video recording of the presentation, a PDF copy of the slides, and English and Portuguese captioning and transcription.
Description:
This video covers best practices for molecular diagnostic testing on tissue with a focus on pre-analytic factors. The suitability of the tissue used for subsequent molecular testing is impacted by a variety of different factors that start in the operating room or radiology suite when the tissue is being obtained through processing in gross pathology, histology, and finally in the molecular diagnostic laboratory. We will cover important best practices that include specimen types, multi-disciplinary communication, tissue fixatives and processing, as well as specimen enrichment and adequacy requirements.
Learning Objectives:
- Troubleshoot tissue specimens that fail molecular diagnostics.
- Implement best practices for pre-analytic processes.
