August 2020

The laboratory tests of pandemic summer

August 2020—In March, the COVID-19 pandemic came in like a lion—and has yet to leave, like a lamb or anything else. Instead, it roared through April and May in early hot spots like New York City and New Orleans. As lockdowns took hold, the cautious hope was that by summer the virus would be tamed (if not simply go away “like a miracle” or “as the heat comes in,” per several infamous predictions), giving health care providers a chance to exhale before a likely second wave in the fall. Instead, June and July saw other cities and states hit hard in turn, while many places that appeared to have flattened the curve were starting to see concerning upticks in cases.

Targeting microbiology lab efficiency with AI

August 2020—Bringing an automated culture plate reading system into the Hennepin County Medical Center microbiology laboratory was never a question of if but when. “We need artificial intelligence to help us with active decision-making processes in the lab,” says Glen Hansen, PhD.

In 2020 checklist, a ‘gentle push’ to next quality level

August 2020—For quality management in the laboratory, it’s not enough to have checks and balances. The checks and balances have to work to improve quality. That’s how Stephen J. Sarewitz, MD, vice chair of the CAP Checklists Committee, characterizes the changes to the quality management requirements in the 2020 laboratory general checklist, released in June.

Lab with Ebola experience: COVID more complicated

August 2020—If there’s one thing scarier to experience than COVID-19, it’s Ebola. Or so you might think. “Ebola was easier,” says Beverly Dickson, MD, medical director of the clinical laboratory at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.

Steps to verifying SARS-CoV-2 antibody assays and what’s known about protective immunity

August 2020—The CAP treats emergency use authorization assays similar to FDA-cleared assays and thus requires full verification. In a June 4 CAP webinar, Neil Anderson, MD, D(ABMM), assistant director of clinical microbiology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, walked through how to approach verification for SARS-CoV-2 assays. Co-presenter Elitza Theel, PhD, D(ABMM), director of the infectious diseases serology laboratory at Mayo Clinic, reported what’s known about protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2.

Tumor budding assessment in CRC: why and how

August 2020—Tumor budding is a robust prognostic marker that should be reported at least in pT1 and stage II colorectal carcinomas and taken into account with other risk factors. Further evidence is needed for tumor budding assessment in specimens taken after neoadjuvant therapy, says Heather Dawson, MD, senior staff GI pathologist at the Institute of Pathology, University of Bern in Switzerland.

AMP case report: Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration

August 2020—Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration (BLL-11q) is a new provisional entity in the revised 2016 WHO classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors.1 It refers to a subset of high-grade B-cell lymphomas that resemble Burkitt lymphoma with similar morphology, phenotype, and gene expression profiling, but lack MYC gene rearrangements. Instead, these lymphomas carry chromosome 11q proximal gains and telomeric losses, suggesting co-dysregulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.

COVID testing capacity falls short as flu season nears

August 2020—As the need for COVID-19 testing grows well beyond that for hospital patients, clinical laboratories in mid-summer were again overwhelmed by demand while at the same time bracing for flu season. That was the gist of a July 10 webinar that brought together Gyorgy Abel, MD, PhD, medical director of clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, immunology, and point-of-care testing at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, Mass.; Bob McGonnagle, CAP TODAY publisher; and moderator Steve Beuchaw, director of life science and medical device research, Wolfe Research.

Cytopathology in focus: Abnormal cervical screening tests: a personal approach

August 2020—If the past decade was directed toward aligning medicine with a personalized approach to therapy, this decade should further realize the implementation of health care decisions tailored to the patient. The updated 2019 ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for Abnormal Cervical Cancer Screening Tests and Cancer Precursors take a large step in that direction by relying on the input of personal data into a free online application that provides suggested management planning based on patient history and prior Pap/HPV test results.

Cytopathology in focus: New direction for thoracic small biopsy, cytology specimens

August 2020—Cytopathologists are keenly aware of the need to collect adequate cytologic tissue not only to arrive at a diagnosis but also to provide sufficient material for predictive and prognostic markers. This is especially true in the realm of non-small cell lung cancer, where biomarker testing is routinely used for the clinical management of patients with advanced-stage disease. The list of clinically relevant biomarkers in NSCLC is expanding. The most recent version of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology includes MET exon 14 skipping mutations and RET as therapeutic targets for advanced NSCLC, in addition to the well-established EGFR and BRAF mutations, ALK and ROS1 rearrangements, and PD-L1 expression.
