Quality in Pathology
Given the importance of delivering modern high-quality pathology and reliable new tests and biomarkers in molecular diagnostics, there is need for a forum that enables the scientific debate in this area. This topic collection includes original articles, expert opinions and reviews on the quality and proper evaluation of the test results and how translate these into an accurate cancer diagnosis and treatment.
