The Ask the Pathologist (ATP) forum enhances cancer registrar case management by providing direct pathology expertise. This resource improves reporting standards and professional development for cancer registrars.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Cancer Registry Management

Background:

  • Cancer registrars require real-time interaction with pathologists for accurate case management and professional development.
  • Increasing complexity in cancer biology necessitates enhanced support for cancer registrars.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate the Ask the Pathologist (ATP) forum, a platform for cancer registrars to address pathology-related questions.
  • To facilitate efficient case management for cancer registrars by providing expert pathology insights.

Main Methods:

  • The ATP forum was established as a multidisciplinary platform for pathology-related inquiries.
  • Questions are reviewed by an oversight committee comprising pathologists, cancer registrars, physicians, and medical technologists.

  • The committee may answer questions directly, forward them to experts, or suggest alternative resources.

    • Main Results:

    • Since September 2013, 284 questions have been posted, with significant portions related to gastrointestinal and breast tumors.
    • The average response time for posted questions is 11.1 days.
    • Gastrointestinal tumors accounted for 17% of questions, breast tumors for 15%, and general pathology for 13%.

    Conclusions:

    • The ATP forum positively impacts the daily activities of cancer registrars.
    • Over 90% of surveyed registrars found the answers satisfactory.
    • Approximately one-third of registrars reported that ATP answers influenced their case management strategies.
