To mitigate these issues, several best practices can be followed:
Adequate Training: Ensure that all personnel involved in sample collection, preparation, and interpretation are adequately trained and familiar with standard protocols. Quality Control: Implement rigorous quality control measures at every stage, from sample collection to final reporting. Standardization: Use standardized protocols for fixation, sectioning, staining, and reporting to minimize variability and errors. Double-Checking: Employ double-checking or peer review mechanisms to ensure accuracy in interpretation and reporting. Communication: Foster clear and effective communication between pathologists and clinicians to ensure that clinical context is considered in the analysis and reporting.
