Hear an expert discuss how Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is utilizing
the oncoReveal® Nexus 21-gene panel to redefine turnaround time and actionable insights
in cancer care. Dr. Ewalt shares a perceptive look at the clinical need for rapid, front-line NGS sequencing, and how a unique, purpose built targeted NGS panel (Pillar Biosciences’ oncoReveal Nexus 21 gene Panel) was developed, validated and implemented clinically by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK-REACT) to complement their current comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) approach.
Webinar presenter Mark Ewalt, MD, Associate Medical Director for Laboratory Operations for Diagnostic Molecular Pathology in the Molecular Diagnostics Service, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, MSKCC.

This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.

October 2015—A decade later, online laboratory handbook gets makeover: Ten years ago, when Massachusetts General Hospital created an online laboratory handbook, the event crowned many hours of programming and coding by a team of pathologists, who were convinced their labors would dramatically streamline access to information.
October 2015—Impact of a rapid respiratory panel test on patient outcomes: Studies have examined the impact of polymerase chain reaction tests on patient outcomes. Rapid detection in microbiology and virology allows more appropriate treatment sooner. This, in turn, can reduce hospital length of stay for patients with respiratory pathogens and may generate hospital savings.
October 2015—CD117 expression in phyllodes tumors: correlation with adverse pathologic parameters. CD117 (c-Kit) is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the KIT gene. Deregulation of expression and mutations in the gene are implicated in various tumors. Reports of CD117 expression in phyllodes tumors have generated controversy.
October 2015—Mutation clearance after induction therapy in acute myeloid leukemia: After initial induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia, approximately 20 percent of patients fail to achieve complete remission, and approximately 50 percent experience relapse within one year. Therefore, it would be clinically useful to identify patients at higher risk of induction therapy failure or relapse.
October 2015—Not long after the FDA approved a primary HPV screening algorithm for women age 25 and older, in April 2014, things began to stir on the Western front—specifically, in Bellingham, Wash., where Northwest Pathology is based. “We started offering it pretty much right after the FDA approved it,” says Ryan Fortna, MD, PhD, director of molecular pathology at the regional, independent anatomic pathology group.
September 2015—This year’s meeting of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry saw soaring temperatures in the host city of Atlanta and a lofty number of attendees. Nearly 18,000 laboratory professionals took part in the five-day extravaganza, which featured hundreds of educational sessions and poster presentations, along with 720 exhibitors that filled the expo floor. A selection of company news released at the meeting is included in this special section.
September 2015—In the article on novel oral anticoagulants in the May 2015 issue of Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine (139:687–692), a few blood products that are mentioned are not described. What is the composition of 3-factor PCC, 4-factor PCC, and FEIBA, and how are they prepared commercially?
September 2015—Molecular profile of diffuse lower-grade gliomas: Diffuse low- and intermediate-grade gliomas include World Health Organization grade II and III astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas. These lower-grade gliomas usually arise in the cerebral hemispheres of adults, and they are highly infiltrative and, therefore, cannot be completely resected.
September 2015—Roche buys ‘sample in, susceptibility out’ technology: Roche has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Los Gatos, Calif.-based GeneWeave BioSciences, a privately held company focused on molecular clinical microbiology diagnostic solutions. The acquisition provides Roche with GeneWeave’s Smarticles technology, which quickly identifies multidrug-resistant organisms and assesses antimicrobial susceptibility directly from clinical samples without the need for traditional enrichment, culture, or sample preparation processes.
September 2015—How site visits led to an LIS selection at Stanford: Seven gets all the attention, but five turned out to be the lucky number for a Stanford University Medical Center team charged with selecting a new laboratory information system. Visiting five installation sites in five cities in five days was “probably the most important aspect of the whole process,” says Brent Tan, MD, PhD, director of clinical laboratory informatics at Stanford.
