Objectives The College of American Pathologists (cap) cancerprotocols are developed to facilitate cancer synoptic reporting. cap offers these cancerprotocols in both free printable and commercially licensed electronic formats. Several academic institutions have also implemented these cancerprotocols as web-based services. Due to financial and technical limitations, many resource-limited pathology laboratories still rely on the free printable cancerprotocols that involve extensive text editing and secretarial support, and they are *** study implemented low-cost, low-barrier, and flexible electronic cap cancer protocols to automate cancer synoptic *** For each printable capcancer Protocol, a dynamic data entry form is created using HyperText Markup Language (HTML) with embedded JavaScript, which is then presented in a web browser for pathologists to enter cancer case-specific information. Once the data entry form is complete, the case-specific information entered by the pathologists will be collected, and a synoptic report will be automatically created in the web browser by a companion JavaScript program. The synoptic report can then be copied into the corresponding pathology *** We implemented the commonly used cap cancer protocols into electronic form using HTML/JavaScript. Using this tool, our pathologist reported at least 50% time savings compared to the previous manual *** The proposed HTML/JavaScript-based cancerprotocols are low-cost, low-barrier, and flexible alternatives to current commercially and academically available electronic cap cancer protocols, especially for pathologists working in resource-limited laboratories. The same implementation methods can also be extended to implement international variants of cancerprotocols, including non-English cancerprotocols.
