[Histonet] RE: Immunos

[Hallada, Teri]

Hi all,
I have an inquiry about immunos. We have differing opinions here at our institution. We have one pathologist that likes to utilize immunos in diagnosing cases and one that insists that they are not required to make a diagnosis. We currently send all of our immunos out to be stained and read them here upon return. We are considering trying to bring them in house, but are concerned with the volume that we are ordering. We are a small community hospital, but have a pretty good outpatient clientele also. I was wondering if I could get some feedback from the group about the importance of utilizing immunos and volumes that are being ordered. Also, do any of you use certain immunos as part of your protocol for specific cases (other than breast).
Thank you,
Teri Hallada BS MT CT (ASCP)
