April 2018—In analyzing cervical tissue, adjunctive use of p16 IHC with H&E-stained slides improves accuracy and sensitivity, according to the results of the Cervical Tissue Adjunctive Analysis study presented by Thomas C. Wright Jr., MD, in a webinar hosted by CAP TODAY and made possible by an educational grant from Roche Diagnostics.
April 2018—Potential contributors to error in oxygen saturation calculation using a POC assay: Oxygen saturation is important for measuring respiratory status and calculating cardiac output for patients.
April 2018—Confirmation of ProMisE: a clinical classifier for endometrial cancer; Leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei: a morphological, IHC, and molecular analysis.
April 2018—Effect of inherited TP53 mutations on children with B-cell ALL: TP53 has been referred to as the “guardian of the genome” because it plays a central role in regulation of the cell cycle, DNA repair, and apoptosis, and because somatic mutations in TP53 are frequently identified in many tumor types.
April 2018—Data-extraction system demonstrates potential for pathology laboratories: Just as parents instill in their children a desire to improve themselves, in part through interactions with others, some software developers are “teaching” their tools to interact and adjust accordingly.
April 2018—CMS changes proposed policy on NGS for cancer patients: The CAP and the Association for Molecular Pathology, in separate statements in March, lauded the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for revising its national coverage determination on next-generation sequencing.
April 2018—Let us bring back breast FNAB: The article “Standardized reporting for breast FNAB cytology” (January 2018) is a welcome account of some of the challenges associated with breast fine needle aspiration biopsy compared with core needle biopsy. The author expertly outlines the significance of a standardized approach to performance, interpretation, and reporting of the breast FNAB procedure. The article was a pleasant surprise because the topic of breast FNAB has not been the subject of much interest in our pathology community during the past several years.
March 2018—Among the many never-ending chores that humans undertake—paying bills, filing taxes, flossing—writing medical guidelines can seem like an especially perpetual task. Just ask the architects of an updated document on molecular testing for lung cancer, issued by the CAP, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, and the Association for Molecular Pathology.
March 2018—In a severe flu season that started early, laboratories faced unprecedented test volumes, used new testing platforms, and negotiated vendor supply shortages. When laboratory staff at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock began seeing a rising number of requests for respiratory tests, and five positive flu results,
March 2018—When the CMS’ new 14-day rule took effect Jan. 1, conditions for laboratories doing outpatient reference testing might have changed for the better. But for labs navigating the new billing regulations, some forecasters are predicting confused seas ahead. “We’ve been reaching out to a number of our customers who I know will be affected by this and saying ‘What’s your take?’ and together just putting our heads around what it really means. But there is still quite a bit of confusion out there,” says Kurt Matthes, vice president, reengineering and service, at revenue cycle management software provider Telcor.
