Boston, MA—Lakeridge Health, The Rouge Valley
Health System, The Scarborough Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Cancer Care Ontario's 2008-2009 CAP/CS aligned data standards for pathology
reporting. Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and North York
General are currently undergoing final testing and will soon be in live

Standardized pathology reporting increases the
availability and consistency of cancer pathology information that is essential
for treatment decisions, evaluation, and research.
mTuitive complies with the 2008-2009 CAP/CS
aligned data standards developed by Cancer Care Ontario in conjunction with the
College of American Pathologists (CAP) Cancer Committee, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and the American Joint Committee on Cancer. The
CAP checklists1 for breast, lung, colorectal, prostate and
endometrium were amended to include the mandatory pathological collaborative
