September 2017 Issue of The Pathologist

In our September 2017 issue, Michael Laposata explores the issues that can prevent fast and accurate diagnosis, including medical errors, unnecessary testing, and professional misunderstandings. The potential cure? The diagnostic management team. We also look at a pen for non-destructive identification of tumor tissue, retirement alternatives for pathologists, precision medicine in ocular cancer, and the importance of pathologists as leaders. Finally, we sit down with Rojeet Shrestha, a rising star in clinical chemistry with a special interest in cardiometabolic disease.
