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.

2013 Issues

Hemolysis—can better processes add up to millions?

February 2013—If anybody is a believer in programs to reduce hemolysis rates in the hospital, it’s Dennis Ernst, MT(ASCP), director of the Center for Phlebotomy Education. Ever since he left the bench 15 years ago, Ernst has been traveling the country with a mission: to show clinical laboratories, nursing departments, hospital administrators, and clinicians that the payoff from high-quality phlebotomy is much greater than they might realize. Despite hemolysis being the No. 1 reason the laboratory rejects blood specimens, hemolysis does not strike randomly, and it’s not inevitable, Ernst emphasizes. “Typically the causes of hemolysis are all behavioral,” he says.

AP tracking: an eagle eye on blocks and slides

February 2013—A high-tech blend of hall monitor, bloodhound, and lost and found, tracking systems to manage tissue specimens, blocks, and slides have gradually been taking root as part of an automated workflow in some anatomic pathology laboratories. As manual labeling, logging, and data capture give way to bar coding and even radio frequency identification, it’s a revolution of sorts, but a quiet one.

Anatomic pathology systems product guide

February 2013—In the market for an anatomic pathology system? Check out the 27 AP offerings from 24 vendors. The systems profiled in this annual product guide are commercially available in the United States. In this year’s lineup for the first time is information pertaining to whether vendors provide a list of client sites to potential customers on request.

Clinical Pathology Selected Abstracts, 2/13

February 2013—Outcome of patients who refuse transfusion after cardiac surgery: Jehovah’s Witness patients may refuse blood transfusion, due to religious beliefs, following cardiac surgery. Strategies to conserve blood for such patients may include the preoperative use of erythropoietin, iron, and B-complex vitamins, as well as hemoconcentration; intraoperative use of antifibrinolytics and cell-saver and smaller cardiopulmonary bypass circuits; and tolerance of low hematocrit levels postoperatively.

Q & A Column, 2/13

February 2013—What are the limitations of using myoepithelial markers in diagnostic breast pathology? Immunohistochemical studies using antibodies to highlight myoepithelial cells (MEC) can be useful adjuncts to traditional morphologic diagnosis in the practice of breast pathology. Antibodies commonly used to detect MEC include smooth muscle actin, calponin, smooth muscle myosin heavy chain, p63, CD10, cytokeratin 5/6, and p75, and each shows varying sensitivity and specificity.

Rx for optimizing rapid flu test performance

January 2013—With the arrival of another flu season—this one early and intense—rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) are once again occupying many laboratory directors’ minds. But although laboratories have found RIDTs useful for the last decade, evaluations of the test kits’ performance have been limited to manufacturers’ product inserts and a few small-scale studies. Like swing shift and day shift workers in the hospital, RIDTs have not been brought together for an assessment side by side.

Triple play in lab’s MALDI-TOF efforts

January 2013—When James Musser, MD, PhD, and colleagues at Houston’s The Methodist Hospital submitted a study for publication this fall (to “one of the prestigious weeklies based in a northeastern part of the country,” says Dr. Musser), they were prepared to answer questions from reviewers.
