摘要: Context.—The fraction of malignant cells in tumor tissue submitted for tests genetic alterations is a critical variable testing accuracy. That currently determined by pathologist visual estimation the percentage cells. Inaccuracy could lead to false-negative test result. Objective.—To describe prospective, multi-institutional study determine Design.—Ten ×20 magnification images hematoxylin-eosin–stained colon specimens were sent as an educational component College American Pathologists KRAS-B 2011 Survey. Data from 194 labs analyzed and compared criterion standard with comprehensive manual nuclear counts. Results.—Survey responses indicated low interlaboratory precision estimation, but mean estimates fairly accurate. A total 5 10 cases assessed showed more than 10% respondents overestimating manner that results. Conclusions.—The sig...
