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

From the President’s Desk: In the eye of the brainstorm, 9/16

September 2016—Radiolab is a radio show and podcast about (mostly) scientific curiosities co-hosted by a perpetually interested guy who majored in music. You might describe it as a talk show for science geeks. These are people who know how to ask the right questions and put the answers in context. A recent installment (“Colors”) questions whether color is a concrete characteristic of the physical world or simply a mental overlay we apply to our perception. Early on, you learn that a young Isaac Newton pursued the mechanism of color perception by piercing his own eye with a knife. I was hooked.

Mass spec up front for pain management testing: Interest growing in oral fluid testing as alternative to urine testing

September 2016—This fall, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, is taking the mass spec leap. A plucky PR person might be tempted to refer to it as MassSpec LEAP!™ but Stacy Melanson, MD, PhD, doesn’t have time for such nonsense. As the associate director of clinical laboratories and co-director of chemistry, Dr. Melanson has more important matters to attend to. She and her colleagues are shifting from using a screening immunoassay for pain management drug testing to up-front definitive testing by LC tandem mass spectrometry.

Laboratory accreditation program 2016 checklists: Less legwork, more clarity seen in personnel changes

September 2016—For the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, inspection checklist requirements covering personnel are a perennial concern. They are the leading source of disparities between the findings of the program’s inspectors and inspection audits done by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Personnel is also high on the list of questions asked of Laboratory Accreditation Program staff. “Personnel is a hot topic for the College,” says CAP Checklists Committee chair William W. West, MD.

New from CAP Press: Inspired by pathology, connected through art

September 2016—When Ray Paul was diagnosed with sarcoma in 2011, he wanted to understand his disease. His neighbor was a resident in the radiation department at Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, Fla., where Paul was being treated, and that neighbor was happy to introduce him to the pathologist on Paul’s case. An artist and biologist, Paul told the pathologist: “‘I want to see what my tumor looks like. I want to stare my devil in the eye,’” recalls Marilyn M. Bui, MD, PhD, a senior member of the Departments of Anatomic Pathology and Sarcoma, section head of bone and soft tissue pathology, and scientific director of the analytic microscopy core, Moffitt Cancer Center, and a professor and cytopathology fellowship director, University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine.

As diabetic CKD takes toll, work on tests continues

September 2016—When nephrologist Katherine Tuttle, MD, first saw the photo of two women holding young children, she thought it captured the mother of the boy and girl sitting on a couch with the children’s grandmother.

Quizzed in Ansbach, then key to a drug trial for mast cell disease

September 2016—In December 2007, American hematopathologist Tracy I. George, MD, spent a weekend in the small town of Ansbach in central Bavaria in the laboratory of Hans-Peter Horny, MD, whom she calls “the father of mast cell pathology.” Dr. Horny was at that time a privately practicing hematopathologist after having spent most of his career in academia. Plans for an international clinical trial were underway to evaluate the investigational drug midostaurin in advanced systemic mastocytosis, a rare group of diseases for which there was no effective therapy, and Dr. Horny would be the study pathologist. Dr. George, who had been diagnosing mast cell diseases for several years, wanted to take part as well.

Method or test? Providing clarity to clinicians on NGS

September 2016—Whether it was “This is your brain on drugs,” “Take a bite out of crime,” or “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk” popping up onscreen, few of us watching TV in the 1970s and ’80s enjoyed having our programs interrupted by those public service announcements. Yet those important messages stuck in viewers’ brains—and stuck hard, if homages such as the Washington Post’s “10 Best PSAs of All Time” are anything to go by.

Clinical Pathology Selected Abstracts, 9/16

September 2016—Medical error: a leading cause of death in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compiles an annual list of the most common causes of death in the United States, using death certificates. This process relies on assigning an International Classification of Disease (ICD) code to the cause of death.

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 9/16

September 2016—Digital image analysis versus manual biomarker assessment in breast cancer; Clinical and cost impact of EGFR and ALK testing in early stage NSCLC; Switch/sucrose nonfermenting complex protein expression in an aggressive endometrial cancer; Immune microenvironment of breast ductal carcinoma in situ; Adverse histological features in malignant colorectal polyps; Use of ancillary molecular analysis for diagnosis of soft tissue tumors
