The Precision Pathology Center (PPBC) at MSKCC is a central hub for specimen-driven clinical trials, biomarker development, molecular characterization, and research. Evaluation of tissues by a pathologist to assess tumor cellularity, inflammation, fibrosis, and necrosis, is essential for specimen-centered clinical trials. We describe our experience adopting digital pathology solutions and remote pathology review to avoid any interruptions in our services during the current healthcare emergency. Design: Tissues for clinical trial and research are routinely evaluated by a pathologist. Normally, the evaluations are performed by the research pathologists on site.
