Hear an expert discuss how to integrate Kappa and Lambda in situ hybridization testing into your standard hematopathology workflow to accurately assess B-cell and plasma cell clonality. You will also gain the skills to recognize testing pitfalls in challenging reactive versus neoplastic proliferations and apply ancillary tools to resolve complex cases.

Learning Objectives:
  • Explain how transparency and manufacturer partnerships improve quality, consistency, and decision-making confidence in specimen management.
  • Evaluate blood collection tubes beyond cost and commodity assumptions, incorporating clinical impact and risk into decision-making.
  • Assess the potential risk points when using a blood collection device that has not been cleared for a specific purpose.

Roundtable presenters Nick Fingland, PhD, PMP, Senior Director, R&D Operations and Science, BD, and Chris Farnsworth, PhD, D(ABCC), Section Head of Clinical Chemistry, Professor of Pathology and Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine.

2014 Issues

In free CytoAtlas app, 750 images for 100+ diagnoses

October 2014—Like many cytopathology trainees, Charanjeet Singh, MD, who recently completed a cytopathology fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, found it challenging at times to find classic examples of entities to learn from and to study for exams. Most texts he consulted contained just one or two images of a particular diagnosis. And the material in training programs from all specialties varies. Even though there is a large volume of cytology cases at MD Anderson, for example, it wasn’t enough to learn gynecologic cytology, which is why he pursued an elective rotation at Houston Methodist Hospital.

AABB ramps up donor screening to help stem TRALI

October 2014—When it comes to the blood supply, the tradeoffs between safety and availability are a tightrope that blood centers walk with extreme care. For several years now, TRALI (transfusion-related acute lung injury) has topped the list of causes of transfusion-related mortality in the U.S. Defined as acute lung injury that occurs during or within six hours of transfusion of a blood product, TRALI is fatal to six to 10 percent of the patients it strikes.

Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 10/14

October 2014—Role of STAT6 immunohistochemistry in diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumors: Solitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon fibroblastic neoplasm. Although histologic characteristics and frequent CD34 expression allow for an accurate diagnosis in the majority of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) cases, a wide histologic spectrum and occasional unexpected immunophenotype may pose diagnostic challenges. Molecular analyses have shown that almost all SFTs harbor a NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene, which is considered specific to this tumor type.

Newsbytes, 10/14

October 2014—A conundrum: teaching pathology informatics to residents: Just as high schoolers are prone to protest, “We’re never going to need to use quadratic equations/literary theory/the periodic table in real life,” pathology residents have been known to question the value of subjects for which they don’t envision a practical application—such as pathology informatics.

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 10/14

October 2014—A gene panel to examine mosaic somatic mutations in cerebral malformations: Somatic mutations are widely recognized in cancer, often affecting prognosis and determining candidacy for use of molecular targeted treatments. These somatic mutations may lead to a mosaic population of cells. Recent advances in technology involving deep next-generation sequencing have allowed for detection and quantification of these mosaic variants.

Molecular tumor boards: fixture or fad?

October 2014—Along with everything else the genomics revolution has wrought, there’s this: Molecular testing is threatening to turn medicine into an ongoing episode of “Hoarders.” So much information and so many possible uses for it—including, in some cases, none at all. The expansion of molecular testing is also upending the role of the traditional tumor board.

21 honored for patient care, strategy, safety, and service

October 2014—Stanley J. Robboy, MD, was presented Sept. 7 with the Pathologist of the Year award during an evening event at the CAP ’14 annual meeting in Chicago. At the same event, at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, Seema Sethi, MD, was honored as Resident of the Year, and Samir Sami Amr, MD, received the Pathology Advancement award. The CAP Foundation Gene and Jean Herbek Humanitarian award went to Barbarajean Magnani, PhD, MD, who was given a second award: the Distinguished Patient Care award.

Put It on the Board, 9/14

September 2014—Simple blood tests, colossal contrasts on price: California hospitals have a pricing range for common blood tests so wide that it brings to mind the vast span of that state’s world wonder, the Golden Gate Bridge. Among the 150 hospitals whose blood test charges were examined in a recent study, the price for a basic metabolic test ranged from $35 to $7,303, depending on the hospital, with a median charge of $214. The biggest price difference was in charges for a lipid panel.

Q & A Column, 9/14

September 2014—Occasionally on certain patients, when we draw for a CBC in the early morning, we get a low Hgb of 6 or 7 g/dL. We draw the same patient for a CBC in the afternoon and we get a higher Hgb by at least 1–1.5 g/dL. Can you explain the reason for this difference? We would like to standardize reference ranges throughout our system of regional facilities, using our main laboratory to establish the ranges. How does the CAP view using the transference process as described in CLSI document C28-A3C, Defining, Establishing, and Verifying Reference Intervals in the Clinical Laboratory; Approved Guideline? Is this an approved method for establishing reference ranges? Is it an acceptable process once the laboratory director approves it?
