✦ Synopsis

T as part of its program to ensure quality for anatomic pathology, continues to develop protocols for the examination of surgical specimens resected from patients with cancer. This report describes the protocol for data to be included in routine consultation reports for patients with carcinoma of the lung. Previously, the Committee has published protocols for carcinomas of the prostate gland,' colon,' breast, urinary bladder, and for Hodgkin's disease.3 Protocols for other anatomic sites are under development. This protocol is not a mandate, but a guide for pathologists who would like assistance. It is not intended for pathologists who have already satisfied their quality assurance commitments with their own protocols.
