Lung-Carcinoma-Portal

Qualitätssicherungs-Initiative Pathologie GmbH (QuIP) was established with the aim of providing support services to pathologists in Germany and Europe, optimizing their testing results, and offering assistance for all of the relevant scientific and organizational activities required for quality assurance work. The Lung-Carcinoma-Portal was set up to offer pathologists, consultants working in other disciplines, and oncologists orientation at the interface between biomarker tests and therapy options. The Portal hosts a biomarker-based therapy algorithm for the diagnosis of lung carcinoma. This algorithm is based both on current medical guideline recommendations as well as the latest scientific findings, and provides full details of the underlying investigations.

References and citations on the Portal

The underlying sources from the research literature consulted by the portal content authors are cited as a list on a separate “References” tab on each of the relevant algorithm pages. In each case, these research references and citations reflect the current state of progress on the part of the scientific experts, and will be updated/amended regularly by the team as necessary.
