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.

Augstus 2023—Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare, potentially life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy. The disorder causes tiny blood clots to form in blood vessels and results in organ damage. Clinical findings in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) include hemolytic anemia, low platelet count, and acute kidney failure. In many cases, HUS is caused by Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, other infections, or certain medications, or it can result from other health conditions. The label “atypical” is used to delineate hemolytic uremic syndrome that is not due to any of these common causes.

Q. Is there a CAP guideline that recommends that patients stop taking drugs that may interfere with a blood or urine test before providing a specimen? Read answer.
Q. Can laboratory managers and supervisors assess the competency of testing personnel if they do not perform the lab tests themselves? Read answer.

August 2023—How often do pathology departments underbill insurance companies for their services? And how much money do they lose because of underbilling mistakes? A prototype dashboard at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center aims to answer those questions by using natural-language processing and machine-learning algorithms to flag pathology cases that are underbilled.

Put It on the Board

August 2023—The Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) and the American Diabetes Association last month issued guidelines and recommendations for laboratory analysis in the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus (Sacks DB, et al. Clin Chem. 2023;69​[8]:808–868).

Turning questions to answers in drug testing

July 2023—As she surveys the opioid epidemic in North America, Christine Snozek, PhD, D(ABCC), could be tempted to think that a ripped-from-the-headlines reality has landed in clinical laboratories as well as on TV crime dramas. With the number of opioid-related deaths increasing in recent years, particularly since the start of the pandemic, drug testing demands have increased for labs as well, says Dr. Snozek, codirector of clinical chemistry and support services and director of point of care and central processing at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. If only she could turn to the entertainment industry for a technology-based solution. “I wish we had CSI lab capabilities,” she says, referring to the long-running police procedural. “You could run a sample and find all the drugs known to man on one test. If they could go ahead and release that technology, that would be wonderful,” jokes Dr. Snozek. Given that laboratories are unlikely to take a meeting with network executives, Dr. Snozek and others in the field will have to look elsewhere.

For SARS-CoV-2, clearing the air on EUA tests

July 2023—As the COVID-19 federal public health emergency drew to a close in mid-May, industry experts explained what will and won’t change for the laboratory and weighed the fallout from the drop-off in SARS-CoV-2 testing.

The human gut microbiome and blood biochemistry connection

July 2023—The human microbiome has been called the forgotten organ, and at one time it was. But not in the past 10 years. James Versalovic, MD, PhD, made that clear in his talk at the Association for Molecular Pathology meeting last year.

For sepsis Dx, MDW biomarker brought into the mix

July 2023—When Butler Health System in early 2020 installed the Beckman Coulter DxA 5000 automation line, its hospitals were among the first in the country to do so. At the same time, Butler went live with the DxH 900 hematology analyzer.

Cytomegalovirus in IBD: where to biopsy, whom to treat

July 2023—Though it’s been suggested that newer drugs have made cytomegalovirus less relevant in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, CMV remains an important opportunistic infection in patients with IBD. Knowing where to biopsy and how many are needed is one of the histologic challenges, said Joseph Misdraji, MD, associate professor of pathology, Yale School of Medicine, in a CAP22 session.

First a probe purchase, then an academic consortium

July 2023—Bringing new technology into laboratories is important for pathology as a field and for patients—and only getting more difficult. “Each new wave of technology is more complicated than the last,” Jeremy Segal, MD, PhD, said at the USCAP meeting this spring.
