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.

2018 Issues

Inflammatory biomarkers foreshadow CKD, study finds

March 2018—The central idea of the film Minority Report—that a “precrime” police unit can predict and prevent crimes—still mostly inhabits the realm of science fiction. Luckily, in medicine, researchers studying “predisease” can make headway on prevention by analyzing the laboratory test results from samples collected years earlier, when patients showed no clinical symptoms, that might have been able to predict disorders such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) in those patients.

From the President’s Desk: A warm welcome around the world

March 2018—I was just out of training and still getting my bearings when I learned that the new partner in our group was expected to manage CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program inspections. Today I think that is a good idea, but back then I was nervous. I had done several CAP inspections as a resident. But did I know enough to get a laboratory through one?

Why carbapenemase-producing CRE raise the bar

March 2018—When Stephen Brecher, PhD, compares MRSA to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, the figures of speech come fast and furious. “We are not in Kansas anymore,” he said. “The bar has been raised. I consider MRSA a picnic compared to CP-CRE [carbapenemase-producing CRE].”

Pros and cons of carbapenemase detection tests

March 2018—When it comes to diagnostic tests, everyone wants the same thing Lars Westblade, PhD, wants: A unicorn.
“The diagnostic performance of a test is reflected in its sensitivity and specificity,” Dr. Westblade said. “It has to be a very good test. And then we need to think about the speed of the test.” There’s also the cost. When all these factors come together just so, “we get what’s called diagnostic perfection,” he says, or the rare event that Brandi Limbago, PhD, of the CDC calls “a diagnostic unicorn.”

For AP signout: infectious diseases pathology atlas

March 2018—New from CAP Press this month is the Atlas of Fundamental Infectious Diseases Histopathology: A Guide for Daily Practice, edited by Bobbi S. Pritt, MD, MSc, DTM&H. It covers bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections and contains more than 800 images.

Gene testing moves cardiomyopathy analysis forward

March 2018—From phenotype to genotype in the understanding and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease—that was the medical journey on which Joseph Maleszewski, MD, and Birgit Funke, PhD, took attendees at a symposium at the November 2017 meeting of the Association for Molecular Pathology.

Clinical Pathology Abstracts, 3/18

March 2018—Web platform vs. genetic counselor for releasing carrier results from exome sequencing: Genomics can be used to generate a large amount of data that may have important implications for clinical care and selection of therapeutics. However, a bottleneck exists in clinical genomics due to the large volume of results and the lack of availability of knowledgeable professionals to return them to patients in person.

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 3/18

March 2018—Magee equation 3 for predicting response to chemotherapy in some breast tumors: Magee equations were derived as an inexpensive, rapid alternative to the Oncotype DX commercial assay. Magee equation 3 uses immunohistochemical and FISH data for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER2, and Ki-67 for its calculation: 24.30812+ERIHC×​(–.02177)+PRIHC×(−0.02884)+(0 for HER2 negative, 1.46495 for equivocal, 12.75525 for HER2 positive)+Ki-67×0.18649.

Molecular Pathology Abstracts, 3/18

March 2018—Nonendoscopic detection of Barrett’s esophagus using DNA methylation biomarkers: Esophageal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive disease, with a less than 20 percent five-year survival rate, and its incidence is rapidly increasing. Early detection of esophageal adenocarcinoma or its precursor lesion, Barrett’s esophagus, would enable more effective treatment strategies and a greater chance of cure.

Newsbytes, 3/18

March 2018—How hospitals use savvy and software as a phishing net: We all know we shouldn’t click on suspicious emails, but suppose you see an email from your department of human resources with an attached document about a new dress code. You open it, thinking “What new dress code?” And now you’ve infected the hospital’s computer system with a virus.
