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.

July 2014—When Rosemary Frederick learned last year that her employer, North Shore-LIJ Health System of New York state, would be switching from the Roche Accu-Chek Inform I point-of-care glucose meter to the Inform II due to a maltose interference issue, she knew she and her colleagues were facing a heck of a lot of work.
July 2014—I recently attended my first meeting as a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. I joined ASCO because I’ve been so impressed with the members I’ve met and the way they contribute to our work. I learned a lot and enjoyed the company, which means that I plan to attend their meetings whenever I can and hope many of you will do the same.
July 2014—G-G-G-E♭. Also known as da-da-da-DUM. Also known as the opening to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. It’s a simple motif, heard repeatedly in the piece (not to mention across the centuries), yet no less thrilling for that fact. Maria M. Picken, MD, PhD, finds herself repeating an equally straightforward motif when she speaks about amyloidosis, and it, too, is worth hearing again: The disease is not being diagnosed early enough, and sometimes not at all. That theme has been a steady refrain of hers over the years, and it runs throughout a recent interview with CAP TODAY, so much so that she worries readers will respond with, Oh no, here she goes again.
July 2014—Assessing IHC biomarkers for basal-like breast cancer against a gene-expression profile gold standard: Gene-expression profiling of breast cancer delineates a particularly aggressive subtype referred to as basal-like. This subtype comprises approximately 15 percent of all breast cancers and afflicts younger women. It is refractory to endocrine and anti-HER2 therapies.
July 2014—The benefits of building versus buying lab software: Like many in the field of pathology informatics, John Sinard, MD, PhD, does not believe that one-size-fits-all when it comes to laboratory software systems. But unlike many of his peers, he does not choose to live with the discrepancies or purchase a new product.
July 2014—Ethics of laboratory billing at stake in AMA’s code: Proposed revisions to the American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics would remove language that supports direct billing and condemns clinicians who charge markups for laboratory or pathology services. The changes could weaken efforts to rein in billing practices that CAP leaders argue are not in the best interest of the patient and that the AMA currently defines as unethical.
July 2014—Our laboratory is thinking of validating additional immunostains to aid in identifying metastatic melanoma. What are the best markers to identify metastatic melanoma?
June 2014—When Mark Stoler, MD, stood up to speak at the 30th annual Clinical Virology Symposium on April 29, his topic was timely. Dr. Stoler was presenting three-year followup data from the ATHENA trial, in which a primary human papillomavirus screening algorithm based on the Roche Cobas HPV assay was compared with traditional cytology and a hybrid cotesting algorithm for their ability to prevent cervical cancer.
June 2014—If they made disaster movies about the laboratory industry, you could cue the voice talent right now, because all the plot elements seem ready at hand. In a world where an economy haltingly recovers from the blows of recession, a series of double-digit reimbursement cuts for laboratory services looms. New financial accounting standards lurk in the background, threatening to roil traditional equipment rental arrangements. A mammoth national health insurance program rolls out, generating fears of one set of dictates to rule them all.
June 2014—For trainees, information ‘gaps are closing’: With the dismissal of residents from training programs having led to well-known tragedies, the most recent in pathology just a year ago, attention is being paid to the importance of ensuring residents’ well-being and properly handling remediation, probation, and dismissal.
