CAP Updates Validation of Immunohistochemical Assays Testing Guideline for Precise Results, Improved Patient Care
The College of American Pathologists (CAP) updated the “Principles of Analytic Validation of Immunohistochemical Assays” guideline to provide increased precision and accuracy of clinical immunohistochemical assays.
- The College of American Pathologists (CAP) updated the “Principles of Analytic Validation of Immunohistochemical Assays” guideline to provide increased precision and accuracy of clinical immunohistochemical assays.
- This update assesses evidence published since the release of the original guideline in 2014 and provides new recommendations on how to analytically validate/verify immunohistochemical assays used for diagnostic and predictive purposes.
- “This updated guideline provides new and revised recommendations for analytic validation/verification of immunohistochemical assays, which often guide therapeutic decision making for cancer treatment,” explains guideline chair, Jeffrey D. Goldsmith, MD, FCAP.
- Current tools, resources, and information for the Principles of Analytic Validation of Immunohistochemical Assays: Guideline Update can be found on the guideline webpage on cap.org.
