Valerie Fitzhugh, MD<p>The role of the pathologist is central to the diagnosis of cancer. We have an entire army behind us-medical technologists, cytotechnologists, cytotechnologists, pathologists’ assistants, and autopsy assistants, who work with us every day. Today, we face a critical shortage in all of these areas. On this World Cancer Day, please remember all of us in the laboratory who work towards correct, timely diagnoses for all. <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/WorldCancerDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WorldCancerDay</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/WorldCancerDat2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WorldCancerDat2023</span></a></p>
