Yes, the CAP now has a PT survey for HPV, EBV, and Kappa/Lambda in situ hybridization (ISH).

Therefore we do not perform the CAP proficiency testing. The pathologists participate in PIP testing and do not read ER, PR, or Her2 (predictive markers). The pathologists do however interpret IHC stains and an occasional Kappa and Lambda stain. Are there any other requirements that the pathologist or department needs to fulfil? Again the patholgosits here are interpreting the IHC stains and reading Kappa and Lambda (the only ISH stains they interpret). Also when I did work at an institution that performed Kappa and Lambda there was no CAP PT survey for Kappa and Lambda so we had to come up with an alternate PT assessment method. Does CAP now have a Kappa and Lambda PT survey? Your input is appreciated.
