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.

May 2015—Q. I am a pathologist practicing in a small community hospital. I was involved with a patient who was declared brain-dead and subsequently designated a donor of multiple organs. The organ procurement agency ordered additional testing during the two days before the organ harvest, including a CT scan of the chest. The latter revealed a solitary pulmonary nodule.

May 2015—Use of hemoglobin content of reticulocytes to evaluate anemia in cancer patients: Evaluating iron-deficiency anemia in patients with cancer is difficult. Malignancy is frequently associated with anemia of chronic disease. However, it is important to distinguish iron-deficiency anemia due to inadequate iron stores from anemia of chronic disease due to decreased iron availability with abundant stores. Advanced reticulocyte indices, such as the cellular hemoglobin content of reticulocytes, named CHr and RET-He, are reportable parameters on newer automated hematology analyzers.
May 2015—Clinical and molecular effects of order of acquired mutations in myeloproliferative neoplasms: Cancers arise and evolve from the accumulation of somatic mutations. With the addition of each mutation, tumor subclones are selected for biologic attributes that increase growth and proliferation potential. However, the authors hypothesized that it may not only be the presence of the mutations that affects these attributes but also the order in which the mutations arise, since their interactions and resulting environment likely play a key role in the development of subsequent genetic events and the tumor’s neoplastic behavior.
May 2015—A lab IT strategic plan: from guidance to lessons learned: For those with even the slightest bit of health care business acumen, it should come as no surprise that when health systems expand quickly through mergers and acquisitions, hospital labs often struggle to communicate and cooperate with their counterparts at far-flung sister sites. Faced with such a challenge, the lab at the rapidly growing Geisinger Health System embraced a solution.
April 2015—Sometimes major changes to a health care organization’s point-of-care testing system come from powerful regulatory agencies in Washington, DC. Or they may arise when a child with diabetes objects to frequent venipuncture. In either kind of case, experts say, pathologists and laboratory professionals must form strong relationships with clinicians and build structural foundations to help them meet these and other demands.
April 2015—Door opens on direct access to genetic tests: The FDA’s recent move to give 23andMe permission to market this country’s first direct-to-consumer genetic test, for Bloom syndrome, goes beyond the one in 107 Jews of Ashkenazi descent who are carriers of the rare disorder.
April 2015—How a best practice alert cut unneeded transfusions: Embedding a decision support tool in an EMR to nudge physicians toward an evidence-based practice—without ruffling feathers—can be a delicate process. But two physicians at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center did just that when they launched a best practice alert that encourages adherence to new guidelines for ordering blood.
April 2015—Why is the number 12 for lymph node retrieval in colon cancer protocol reporting not specific to the kind of resected specimens and whether a total colectomy was performed? We are establishing a list of maximum allowable dilutions for our clinical chemistry analytes. Are you aware of any reference that would list absurd or invalid values for such analytes, i.e. the endpoint that would determine the most dilutions we would have to do for the highest possible value for that analyte?
