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.

August 2017—The age of FDA-approved whole slide imaging for primary diagnosis has dawned with opportunity for every level of professional who works in the digital pathology environment. It includes not only an expanded professional cachet but also great potential born of collaborative and remote capabilities, and perhaps better patient outcomes as a result.
August 2017—Nearly two years ago, I mentioned that I wanted to start a conversation about how we as pathologists and the CAP as our professional society must evolve in order to meet our emerging needs as individuals and as a specialty. Now, as my time in the perch is coming to a close, I’d like to explore what we have come to realize—and sometimes reinforced—about building and maintaining a complex infrastructure that reflects and serves our core purposes.
August 2017—In the game of Risk, dominating the board hinges not only on clever strategy but also on rolls of the dice. In the real-world game that is the enormous laboratory market, there is a parallel: Rationally calculating the profitability and risk of mergers or acquisitions is crucial, but many such business moves involve a gamble. Right now, the main thing the laboratory industry appears to be betting on is upheaval.
August 2017—CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. AMP members write the reports using clinical cases from their own practices that show molecular testing’s important role in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. The following report comes from Columbia University Medical Center. If you would like to submit a case report, please send an email to the AMP at [email protected]. For more information about the AMP and all previously published case reports, visit www.amp.org.
August 2017—Quantum theory is often interpreted to mean an object can be in two places simultaneously. Unfortunately, quantum theory doesn’t apply to laboratory directors, at least not on a scheduling level. Like the rest of us, directors can be in only one place at a time, no matter how many laboratories they oversee. Now a change to the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program’s checklists will clarify expectations for directors who are in charge of more than one laboratory. The 2017 edition of the checklists, released this month, has eliminated the specific requirements for laboratory directors who are not on site full time and has clarified responsibilities for all directors, on site or remote.
August 2017—Adequate and high-quality cell block preparations can be a useful adjunct to cytologic smear preparations and touch imprint cytology. Adequate cell blocks allow for additional studies and can provide a specific diagnosis and information essential for targeted treatment plans. Cell blocks can be prepared from most cytology specimens such as fine needle aspirations, body cavity fluids, washings, brushings, and gynecologic and nongynecologic liquid-based specimens.
August 2017—The CAP has focused during the past 10 years on facilitating the transformation of pathology practices from the instrumentation age to the information age, with a concentration on personalized medical care and laboratorians as integral members of the health care team. Hand-in-hand with that effort, the CAP Cytopathology Committee has advocated for the expanded use of cytology specimens in molecular diagnostics and the evolution of the cytotechnology workforce to meet the emerging practice gaps as pathologists become engaged in ever more complex diagnostic processes.
August 2017—Mismatch repair-deficient tumors and immune checkpoint inhibitors: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have yielded highly effective therapeutic responses in a subset of tumors by eliciting an endogenous adaptive immune response. The determinants that define this subset of tumors are still unclear, but several markers, including PD-L1 expression and mutational burden, have been evaluated in various tumor types.
August 2017—Analysis of microglandular adenosis and acinic cell carcinoma of the breast: Acinic cell carcinoma is an indolent form of invasive breast cancer, whereas microglandular adenosis has been shown to be a neoplastic proliferation. Both entities display a triple-negative phenotype and may give rise to, as well as display, somatic genomic alterations typical of high-grade triple-negative breast cancers. The authors compared previously published data on eight carcinoma-associated microglandular adenoses and eight acinic cell carcinomas subjected to massively parallel sequencing targeting all exons of 236 genes recurrently mutated in breast cancer or DNA repair related, or both.
August 2017—Etiology and clinical presentation of birth defects: a population-based study: Birth defects are inborn errors of development and include any structural or functional anomaly that impacts physical, intellectual, or social well-being. They are a considerable and growing clinical and public health challenge. Major birth defects are common and costly. Collectively, they are estimated to occur in one in 33 births, which translates into approximately 7.9 million babies affected worldwide. In the United States alone, the cost of care during a single year (2004) was estimated to be $2.6 billion.
