Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is one of the most promising approaches in anticancer therapy and an exponential number of pre-clinical and clinical studies are being carried out every year to expand its use. CAR T-cell therapy represents a cellular immunotherapy where T-cells are redirected against the tumor after engineered expression of CARs. CARs are receptor proteins that have been designed to give T-cells the new ability to target a specific antigen. The process involves taking T-cells from blood, editing the T-cells to express a CAR to recognize a specific antigen on the targeted cell (e.g., CD19 on B-cells or CD38 on plasma cells), growing those cells in the laboratory, and then administering them to the patient to bind to cancer cells and eliminate them.

Succession planning should be based on a well-thought-out strategy to identify, recruit, and develop leaders at all levels of an organization. This article shares eight succession planning best practices, specifically catered to medical groups.

Unlike surgeons who can operate on tumors and internists who can manage a cluster of chronic conditions, the pathologist's core skill is the accurate use of words to describe a disease or a problem. Our scalpel is the correct taxonomy and our prescription is the pathology report. However, our words can have meaning only if the reader or listener can understand them and more importantly—trust them.

The recent decline in breast cancer mortality rates around the world is attributed to an increase in patient education, advances in breast imaging and screening and breast cancer therapy innovations. Despite all the advances made, early breast cancer detection, treatment and control have not equally benefitted all patient populations. Breast cancer patients who are African American suffer from a higher mortality rate compared to their white counterparts in the United States.

Recent advances and innovations in microscopic imaging technology are demonstrating the potential to significantly enhance the current clinical practice of diagnostic pathology.

Becoming a new attending in pathology is a transition into practice unlike that of any other specialty. These nine tips are a pathology-tailored version of personal management skills. The tips begin with how to gather objective performance data, the best advice I have on templates and creating a signing-out routine, and ending with mindset work, specifically ideas around self-awareness.

Labor crunches are not unique to pathology. Many, maybe all industries producing products and services experience them from time to time. However, savvy companies resolve their labor through innovation. Exemplary innovations that have surfaced over the last few decades include lean production, robotics and outsourcing. Maybe we can learn from them.

CAP has developed recommendations to aid adoption of the newly developed 2021 CKD-EPI-creatine equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The new equation eliminates race-based adjustment factors that can delay recognition of chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in Black/African American individuals.
