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.

2015 Issues

Put It on the Board, 9/15

September 2015—Roche buys ‘sample in, susceptibility out’ technology: Roche has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Los Gatos, Calif.-based GeneWeave BioSciences, a privately held company focused on molecular clinical microbiology diagnostic solutions. The acquisition provides Roche with GeneWeave’s Smarticles technology, which quickly identifies multidrug-resistant organisms and assesses antimicrobial susceptibility directly from clinical samples without the need for traditional enrichment, culture, or sample preparation processes.

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 9/15

September 2015—Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in select breast cancers: Modulation of immunologic interactions in cancer tissue is a promising therapeutic strategy. To investigate the immunogenicity of HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancers, the authors evaluated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and immunologically relevant genes in the neoadjuvant GeparSixto trial.

In vivo microscopy checklist ready when labs are

September 2015—Why issue accreditation requirements for a technology before it’s seen widespread adoption? For the same reason you close the barn door before the horse has wandered out. At least that’s the view of Maria M. Shevchuk, MD, who, as chair of the CAP’s In Vivo Microscopy Committee, helped develop the new in vivo microscopy section of the Laboratory Accreditation Program’s 2015 anatomic pathology checklist.

Unusual transplant-linked viral infections: ‘always be aware’

September 2015—Emerging and re-emerging viruses are well and alive, says Sherif Zaki, MD, PhD, chief of the Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At the Clinical Virology Symposium in April, he spoke on viral etiology in unexpected deaths, presenting a list of outbreaks of unexplained illnesses in which his branch took part in the past two decades and which turned out to be caused by viruses.

Delta checks as safety net: how used, how useful?

September 2015—There was a time when Michael L. Talbert, MD, didn’t spend much time thinking about delta checks in his laboratory. “I would periodically look at them, but I didn’t put a whole lot of thought into ranges or into which analytes were most efficient or effective,” says Dr. Talbert, who is chair of pathology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and chief of service and medical director of pathology and laboratory services at OU Medical System, Oklahoma City.

Trials show no benefit from fresher red cells

September 2015—Whether transfusion recipients are better off receiving fresher red blood cells has probably been the most pressing and controversial question in blood banking in the past several years. So much so that enormous randomized, prospective trials involving patients in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and Africa have been comparing outcomes from RBC units of different duration in a variety of patient subpopulations.

From the President’s Desk: Partnerships for patients

September 2015—This is my last column, so the bad news is that it’s time to go. But the good news is that by the time you read this, we’ll be heading into CAP ’15, where many of us will continue this conversation in person. If you cannot come this year, I hope you will at least plan lunch afterward with someone who did. We always return to work infused with energy and optimism. At least you can tap into that.

PT failures: steps to preventing a cease testing

September 2015—When the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 were implemented in the early 1990s, a number of significant changes to proficiency testing, or PT, were required. For the 83 tests or analytes (and microbiology subspecialties) defined as CLIA regulated, the law imposed requirements on both PT providers and laboratories.

Integrating AP and radiology, inch by inch

September 2015—Two major specialties serve all of health care as the foundation for diagnosis. Now efforts to align pathology and radiology again appear to be picking up steam. As payment shifts to so-called value-based care and as medical record systems may challenge successful test interpretation, many experts seek a clear integration of these two specialties.

Full-court collaboration in transition to IQCP

September 2015—With the CLIA Individualized Quality Control Plan process geared to unseat the familiar Equivalent Quality Control process on Jan. 1, there seems to be wide agreement that microbiology laboratories will have the biggest adjustment to make to comply with CLIA QC requirements, despite the IQCP being voluntary.
