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.

2016 Issues

In praise of the path less traveled: public health labs

July 2016—For those who crave variety in their work and have a penchant for the unusual, Paul Bachner, MD, has a career message: Don’t overlook public health. As medical director of the Division of Laboratory Services for Kentucky’s public health department from 2013 to July 2015, Dr. Bachner expected the unexpected, whether it was an outbreak of food contamination, a suspected case of Ebola, or a newborn with a life-threatening metabolic disorder.

Clinical Pathology Abstracts, 7/16

July 2016—Utilization management to reduce unnecessary lab testing at a VA hospital: It is estimated that laboratory and pathology testing account for four percent of annual health care costs. A laboratory utilization management system, or laboratory expert system (LES), can be employed to reduce such costs. A variety of functionality, including passive and active alerts, in the computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system provide decision-making support for physicians ordering tests.

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 7/16

July 2016—Using single nucleotide polymorphism arrays in acute lymphoblastic leukemia: In patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, the identification of chromosomal abnormalities at the time of diagnosis is important for risk classification. The current standard of care includes karyotype and FISH analysis to identify recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities.

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 7/16

July 2016—Evaluating perineural invasion as a prognostic factor in colorectal cancer; A morphological analysis of unusual features in apoplectic leiomyomas; Diagnosis of frozen section to guide resection strategy for lung adenocarcinoma; A finding of ovarian carcinoma histotype based on limited sampling

Newsbytes, 7/16

July 2016—How to minimize cybersecurity risks from business associates: Like parents, through the decades, telling their teenagers, “It isn’t all about you,” cybersecurity firms are sending health care organizations a similar message: It isn’t all about you—it’s about your business associates too.

Q&A column, 7/16

July 2016—What are the steps to validating maximum dilution for certain analytes when the stated manufacturer dilution is not enough? What is considered best practice for verifying platelet-poor plasma for coagulation? Is it necessary to measure platelet counts from 2.7 mL and 1.8 mL tubes? Is annual verification consistent with best practice?

Put It on the Board, 7/16

July 2016—Michel: The good, bad, and ugly that labs need to know: Robert Michel’s opening remarks at the Executive War College, which can be seen as a kind of state of the union address for laboratory medicine, focused on the trends in the industry and the opportunities and dangers they create. “Fraud and abuse. That’s the ugly,” Michel began. “Folks who are doing lab medicine the right way aren’t really aware of what’s been happening outside the walls of their laboratories.”

Clampdowns on out-of-network billing climb

June 2016—To the average reader, “out-of-network billing” might seem like a technical concept that should mainly concern hyperaware insurance wonks. Media outlets from NBC News to Time to the Huffington Post have found that phrases like “surprise medical bill,” “angry patients,” and sometimes “sticker shock” in recent stories are much more likely to grab attention.

Glucose PT criteria reset stirs standards debate

June 2016—It may not be an exact science, but resetting standards is a long-established means of improving quality of testing, and it can also be a way of adapting to improvements in quality that have already been realized. In the case of the CAP’s recent tightening of proficiency testing criteria for hospital glucose testing, both purposes are at work.

Finding the fast track with ’14 HIV algorithm

June 2016—Laboratories that use the HIV testing algorithm the CDC recommended in 2014 report shorter turnaround times for those with detectable antibodies. And among state and local public health laboratories that responded to a 2015 survey, more than half report having implemented the algorithm.
