January 2018—Annual proficiency testing is mandated for all cytotechnologists and pathologists who sign out Pap tests. CAP staff frequently receive questions about the PT rules or hear of situations in which there was confusion about the rules, a few of which we will highlight here.
January 2018—Diane Harper, MD, MPH, and Leslie DeMars, MD, provide an extensive review of the efficacy of available FDA-approved HPV vaccines in different age groups and describe immunogenicity findings in particular (Gynecol Oncol. 2017;146:196–204). The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend a two-dose vaccine for younger children due to high rates of seroconversion and antibody titers in this age group. Girls age 15 and older should continue to get three doses.
January 2018—Analysis of desmoplastic pattern at the tumor front in colorectal cancer subtypes: Although recent findings of cancer biology research indicate that prognostic power arises from genes expressed by stromal cells rather than epithelial cells, desmoplastic reaction has not been completely examined as a prognostic marker for colorectal cancer. The authors conducted a pathologic review of 821 stage II and III patients who underwent R0 resection for colorectal cancer at four independent institutions.
January 2018—Drone transport of chemistry and hematology samples over long distances: Interest in using unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, to transport laboratory specimens is based on the need to move specimens from satellite facilities to a central hub for testing. Earlier studies of biological specimens transported by drones were performed in ambient or cold temperatures for a maximum flight length of 40 minutes.
January 2018—Importance of interstitial genes that exist between gene fusion partners in prostate cancer: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, yet understanding of the disease’s development and progression is limited. One of the most effective ways to stratify treatment and outcomes is based on pathology review of prostate biopsies, though the application of molecular testing to these samples is increasing.
January 2018—Why pathologists shouldn’t ‘pass the baton’ with IT: It may be tempting to stay in your comfort zone and leave the technology decisions to the information technology experts. But pathologists who abdicate oversight of IT projects within their departments are setting up those projects for failure, says John H. Sinard, MD, PhD, professor of pathology and medical director of pathology informatics at Yale University School of Medicine.
January 2018—We are in the process of validating the Stago STA Compact Max and Stago STA R Max with cap piercing. The company is stating that the open and closed modes follow the same testing pathway and therefore validation between modes is not necessary. Is this correct? Is PHI (phosphohexose isomerase), also known as GPI (glucose phosphate isomerase), mainly responsible for metastasis and circulating tumor cells?
January 2018—Some safety issues more gray than black and white: Most laboratory safety rules are free from ambiguity. Anyone who handles specimens must wear personal protective equipment, for example. Some issues are less clearly defined, though, and require a deeper dive into the guidelines. That is where Dan Scungio, MT (ASCP), SLS, CQA(ASQ), comes in.
