An Analysis of Diagnostic Discrepancies in the Pathology Departments of Wigan and Salford
The findings highlight the importance of having scheduled time for pre-MDT discussions in an era where histopathology departments are increasingly overstretched. We also highlight the importance of utilising in-lab imaging technologies to better assess post-radiotherapy specimens and biopsies. Strengthening these safety-netting strategies has the potential to reduce diagnostic discrepancies and improve overall patient care.
