THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY and the College of American Pathologists announced a partnership to further inter-professional education, advocacy, quality improvement, international outreach, and practice guideline development. The two organizations signed a memorandum of understanding.

ASCO and CAP will focus on the development, application, interpretation, and dissemination of pathology tests, including tumor markers and molecular diagnostics, in cancer care.

According to the two organizations, the collaboration will involve: continuing medical education on the use, interpretation, and application of molecular diagnostic tests; joint evidence-based practice guidelines for oncologists and pathologists; international workshops; and advocacy and patient information about cancer diagnostics.
