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.

CAP TODAY provides valuable information that is important to guide the practice for many pathologists. However, an article published in the August 2017 issue, “Laboratory director duties clarified in 2017 checklist” by Anne Ford, has raised serious concerns among many pathologists, particularly members of the Chinese American Pathologists Association (CAPA).
September 2017—The intricacies of transgender medicine are many. They are unique; they are universal. A la Walt Whitman, they contain multitudes: identities, challenges, questions, even fears. But the first step toward comprehending them can be simple. Tim Cavanaugh, MD, started with a cup of coffee. Dr. Cavanaugh, of Fenway Health, Boston, began delving into the topic about a decade ago, when an assistant administrator at his previous job, at a small community health center in Rhode Island, told the center’s leaders that the transgender population was medically underserved.
September 2017—Three years—including a total eclipse of the sun—have sped by since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of Public Health Laboratories recommended a new HIV diagnostic testing algorithm for laboratories. In 2014, the algorithm was seen as bringing HIV test ordering up to speed with the advances in HIV test technology and increasing the accuracy and reliability of HIV screening and diagnosis. Have laboratories made the adjustment, and is the CDC/APHL algorithm proving workable and worthwhile?
September 2017—After a career spent studying malignancies in the bone marrow and monitoring the effects of chemotherapy on the bone marrow and neoplastic cells contained therein, Cheryl Hirsch-Ginsberg, MD, stepped out from the bone marrow realm and into the faster-paced world of high-volume hematology.
In the August 2017 issue was a report, “NGS panel aids in diagnosis of rare collision tumor,” written by members of the Association for Molecular Pathology. Here are answers (in bold) to the three “test yourself ” questions that followed that case report.
September 2017—Under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, Medicare rates for laboratory tests will be recalculated to reflect “market-based pricing” as reported by “applicable laboratories.” But are labs going to get a market-based price, or is the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services “gaming the system to ensure there will be a cut to the fee schedule”?
September 2017—Academic Pathology recently published the results of a two-year project by the CAP Graduate Medical Education Committee to build a framework for teaching specific entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in pathology. Their scheme structures a competency-based approach to training mapped to the ACGME Milestones for pathology resident evaluation. Competency-based curricula are well suited to impart the breadth and depth of necessary fundamental knowledge to future pathologists.
September 2017—Like an old friend with a new facelift, or a high-mileage car with a thorough tune-up, the 2017 edition of the CAP transfusion medicine checklist has undergone a significant number of small changes—none of which is startling in itself, but all of which combine to produce a fresh and streamlined effect. More than 90 of the checklist’s requirements have been revised, many in the name of alignment with FDA requirements.
September 2017—Those who have seen the strength of antibiotic stewardship hope the FDA’s clearance this year of an assay for antibiotic management will drive further and move faster the efforts being made to curb unnecessary use.
September 2017—Can data move the dial on diabetes? That’s the thinking behind Roche Diabetes Care’s new partnership with Accenture, and it’s how some labs and health care systems are already driving diabetes care to a whole new level.
