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.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

July 2023—High-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm is a relatively recent term that describes a rare epithelial neoplasm of the appendix that demonstrates pushing-type invasion but high-grade cytologic atypia. Because it has been understudied, the authors conducted a multi-institutional retrospective study to describe the clinicopathologic features of high-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (HAMN). They reviewed the clinical and histologic features of 35 HAMNs and the molecular features of eight of the cases. Patients were an average of 57 years old and most commonly presented with abdominal or pelvic pain. Histologically, 57 percent of the tumors showed widespread high-grade features.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

July 2023—Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer accounts for the majority of bladder tumors and is typically treated with transurethral resection of the bladder tumor followed by adjuvant intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillations. However, the long-term effectiveness of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is limited, and patients with recurrent or progressive disease have lower survival rates. Understanding the genetic makeup of tumors and identifying molecular subtypes associated with BCG response could provide valuable insights that aid in developing personalized treatments. The authors conducted a study in which they performed whole-transcriptome sequencing of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers (NMIBCs) from 132 patients who had never received BCG treatment and 44 patients whose cancer recurred after BCG treatment. Based on these patients’ results, the authors identified three unique molecular subtypes among the tumors—BRS1, 2, and 3. Patients with BRS3 showed increased epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition pathway activity and their tumors were enriched for mutations associated with the extracellular matrix when compared with the other two subtypes.
