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.

November 2014—Software expands on ‘what you see is what you get’; ONC unveils tool for sharing health information with patients; Portal gives patients direct access to lab test results; Xifin partners with SyTrue; GenoSpace awarded grant for developing biorepositories; NovoPath interfaces to Athenahealth EHR
November 2014—Final trial report of sentinel-node biopsy versus nodal observation in melanoma: Sentinel-node biopsy, a minimally invasive procedure for regional melanoma staging, was evaluated in a phase three trial. The authors evaluated outcomes in 2,001 patients with primary cutaneous melanomas who were randomly assigned to undergo wide excision and nodal observation, with lymphadenectomy for nodal relapse (observational group), or wide excision and sentinel-node biopsy, with immediate lymphadenectomy for nodal metastases detected on biopsy (biopsy group).
November 2014—Combination of blood tests for fibrosis and cirrhosis to assess liver prognosis in CHC: Newer therapies for chronic hepatitis C are promising due to a high rate of sustained viral response and few side effects. Although these therapies are not yet readily available, investigators are considering the best way to evaluate and monitor response.
November 2014—Pathology resident Beth Ellen Frost, DO, has at times taken an uncommon step to put family members at ease when they are asked to consent, or have consented, to an autopsy for a loved one: She’s providing her cell phone number. Simple but purposeful, and it’s one part of a new initiative to improve the University of Kentucky HealthCare system’s autopsy process, which has other pathology staff handing out numbers too.
November 2014—So, you have a great idea that will improve laboratory workflow and reduce errors? Chances are the change will depend on automation of some sort, and will involve the LIS. But upgrades to laboratory information systems may not come fast enough, and the middleware may not be available to accomplish what you need. Then the question becomes how to customize the LIS to achieve your aims.
November 2014—The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on Oct. 31 published its 2015 Medicare physician fee schedule to set payment rates and policy for the next year, including the relative value units for existing and new Current Procedural Terminology codes. Several of the CAP’s recommendations and proposals were accepted for inclusion, such as three new quality measures designed for pathologists and eliminating G-codes to pay for immunohistochemistry services.
November 2014—Molecular testing, on a steep growth curve in anatomic pathology, is increasingly providing decisive guidance for treatment of cancer patients. But while guidelines on clinical relevance and performance of common molecular tests are available and widely used in theory, to date there has been limited information on how well requests for molecular testing in AP laboratories are adhering to the guidelines.
November 2014—When Birgit H. Funke, PhD, gave a talk earlier this year on incorporating bioinformatic tools and pipelines into medical NGS, at Molecular Medicine Tri-Con 2014, one of her slides showed the main bioinformatics activities needed to support sequencing. Among them were designing and building pipelines to manage genetic data, writing scripts for data analysis pipelines, and building custom applications.
November 2014—It’s been said that “data” is the plural of “anecdote,” and debate has swirled around whether that is true. Something about data makes most of us feel that it is qualitatively different: more manipulable, more reliable, more helpful in drawing useful conclusions. But is there a new stage that might be considered the plural of data? These days, the health care industry is excited about a concept that promises to catapult the value of laboratory information into a new era. It’s the Enterprise Data Warehouse.
November 2014—CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. Here, this month, is case No. 6. (See the February, August, and September 2013 and the May and June 2014 issues for the first five.) AMP members write the reports using clinical cases from their own practices that show molecular testing’s important role in diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and more. Case report No. 6 comes from UT-MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
