I discuss issues pertaining to the practice of neuropathology -- including nervous system tumors, neuroanatomy, neurodegenerative disease, muscle and nerve disorders, ophthalmologic pathology, neuro trivia, neuropathology gossip, job listings and anything else that might be of interest to a blue-collar neuropathologist.

The College of American Pathologists unveils updated patient website today
The College of American Pathologists (CAP) unveiled today new resources and features on MyBiopsy.org to help patients better understand their disease. Neuropathological diagnoses discussed on the site include: anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma, pilocytic astrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma. If one of your patients has questions about one of these pathological diagnoses, you can refer them to this website, which is part of a larger Transforming Pathology initiative by the CAP.

Plus it seems quite useful in raising the profile of pathology in general to the wider public
Sounds like a great resource. I would hope that people doing the biopsy, like IR, would point this out to the patient.
With CJD on the rise, although often misdiagnosed, why isn't Prion Disease on this list?
