Laboratory management

Pathologists hold the key to diagnostic management teams – and diagnostic management teams have a lot to contribute to patient care

A new DNA test that can detect treatment-resistant mutations could prove crucial for patients with acute myeloid leukemia, providing an early indication that targeted therapeutic intervention is needed

The serum free light chain assay for myeloma may miss as many as one in four cases of lambda chain-associated disease, so additional testing is advised

With so many festivals and events aimed at sharing science with the public, why is laboratory medicine so often absent?

An advanced system can identify pathogens and detect broad-ranging resistance, allowing pathologists to select the most appropriate drugs with accuracy and speed

From drawing blood to managing laboratories, there is a whole network of professionals working together to provide optimal patient care

Liquid biopsy can help us appropriately treat patients with anti-PD-L1 immunotherapies, and ddPCR enables ongoing monitoring and adjustment of treatment

For better diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as drug R&D, we need to move toward widespread use of MRI biomarker imaging, even if blood screening tests become a reality

How can you use benchmarking to learn and improve?

The need for continuous and contextual biochemical data is clearer than ever, and enabling technology may be just around the corner
