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.

2016 Issues

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 12/16

December 2016—ANXA1 as a predictive biomarker for resistance to trastuzumab in breast cancer: Treatment with the HER2-targeting antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a key component of therapy for women with HER2-positive breast cancer. However, a subset of women with advanced disease shows initial or acquired resistance to therapy, although the mechanisms that control this resistance are largely unknown. Some studies have suggested that activation of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway may be responsible for trastuzumab resistance.

Clinical Pathology Abstracts, 12/16

December 2016—Process optimization to improve immunosuppressant drug testing turnaround time: The routine use of immunosuppressant medications is critical for patients receiving solid organ transplants. Monitoring immunosuppressant (ISP) drug concentrations helps guide safe and effective dosing. ISP drug monitoring is performed using mass spectrometry or immunoassay methods.

Q&A column, 12/16

Q. Are there guidelines on microsatellite instability analysis by immunohistochemistry on colorectal adenocarcinomas? Specifically, should immunohistochemical stains for the mismatch repair enzymes be performed on all colorectal adenocarcinomas regardless of the clinical or pathological findings? A medical group recently requested these studies on all colorectal adenocarcinomas.

Newsbytes, 12/16

December 2016—The benefits of building a dedicated LIS support team: Too many cooks in the kitchen may be a problem, for which building more than one “kitchen” may be a solution. That’s the message Kathy Davis, manager of pathology informatics at the University of Michigan Medical Center, conveyed in an LIS management presentation at the 2016 Pathology Informatics Summit.

Put It on the Board, 12/16

SeraCare develops first multiplexed cardiomyopathy reference material: SeraCare Life Sciences has launched a multiplexed reference material for inherited disease testing by next-generation sequencing.

AMP case report: November 2016 test yourself answers

December 2016—In the November 2016 issue was a report, “Detection of cnLOH as a sole abnormality in the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome,” written by members of the Association for Molecular Pathology. Here are answers (in bold) to the three “test yourself ” questions that followed that case report.

From the President’s Desk: Where we direct our gaze

December 2016—I gave a talk for the CAP16 House of Delegates in September that opened with a three-minute video showing how perspective can change along a continuum of distance. The clip depicts a logarithmic journey across space from a grassy field in downtown Chicago to the farthest reaches of outer space, then retraces and extends its path to the deepest interior (“inner space”?) of human cells. That would be mesmerizing even without the stirring—almost danceable—orchestral accompaniment. The overall effect is visually stunning and intellectually provocative. I have watched the video a number of times. It never fails to remind me that where we stand and how we focus our attention really do shape what we see and how we see it.

Sequencing goes deep to find rubella in uveitis patient

November 2016—Metagenomic deep sequencing, or MDS, has scored another coup in the diagnosis of an unexplained disease in a patient who had already had extensive workup with all other available tools. MDS had been used in 2014 to detect unsuspected leptospirosis in a critically ill encephalitis patient, enabling appropriate treatment and full recovery. Now some of the same clinical scientists at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center who helped diagnose that patient have identified rubella virus infection in the eyes of a patient with bilateral chronic intraocular uveitis that had been misdiagnosed as idiopathic inflammation for 16 years.

Big hopes, bigger questions with PD-L1

November 2016—Progress is a complicated minuet. One popular adage talks of “one step forward, two steps back,” which is not only discouraging but, in an even less-gleaming light, happens to be the title of one of Vladimir Lenin’s books, published in 1904. A more optimistic version (and one less centered on the crisis facing communists in turn-of-the-century Russia) suggests advances occur with two steps forward, mitigated by only one step back.

Up next for MALDI-TOF mass spec: AFB, molds

November 2016—Behold the humble API strip, made of plastic, with multiple miniature test chambers, interpreted with the aid of a color chart, and long a mainstay of microbiology laboratories.
