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.

April 2021—The incidence of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease is disproportionately higher among African-Americans compared with non-Hispanic whites. It has been hypothesized that genetic variation is associated with these higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD) among this race.
April 2021—Intraductal biopsy is commonly used preoperatively to evaluate the etiology of biliary strictures. It can be challenging to interpret intraductal biopsies. The diagnosis is often hindered by interobserver disagreement.
April 2021—Genetic testing for breast cancer hereditary predisposition genes is used to guide cancer screening strategies, risk-reducing surgery, and therapeutic interventions, in accordance with national guidelines.
Q. What is the recommended procedure for analyzing cerebrospinal fluid from patients suspected of having Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease? In addition to sending the specimen to the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center for 14-3-3 testing, should the laboratory perform a cell count and/or meningitis panel? Read answer. Q. Is light protection needed for folate samples? Most major reference laboratories do not require folate samples to be protected from light, and I could not find any studies on the topic. Read answer. Q. Many times a platelet count on an automated hematology system indicates some degree of thrombocytopenia or the analyzer reports a high mean platelet volume or platelet large cell ratio, while a blood smear shows large platelets and/or giant platelets. Is it OK to include a comment in the report that the platelets are adequate or that the count could be due to large platelets, especially with values that indicate marked thrombocytopenia? Read answer.
April 2021—The rewards of data analytics can be sizable, but so can the challenges of extracting data, transforming it, and loading it into the appropriate systems to facilitate the functionality.
April 2021—In an Association for Molecular Pathology survey focused on molecular testing in oncology during the pandemic, 70 percent of 163 respondents reported having decreased or stopped the development and validation of new tests in their laboratories.
