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.

Automation in coagulation was the topic of a Nov. 11, 2024 roundtable led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. Put it on a line or on a dedicated automation platform? Seven participants talked about that and about cybersecurity, viscoelastic testing, and the labor shortage, among other things.
December 2024—Digital pathology in 2024—what’s the sentiment, the pace, the holdup, the worry? Five people spoke online with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle on Oct. 9 about the state of play as the end of the year neared.
December 2024—Some health systems have sold their clinical laboratory outreach business; others seek to grow theirs. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle asked Compass Group members for a quick look at their outreach programs when they met online on Nov. 5. The Compass Group is an organization of not-for-profit IDN system laboratory leaders who collaborate to identify and share best practices and strategies.
Lab data displays, IT demands that outrun resources, at-home test results, and HL7 are some of what came up on Sept. 20 when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke online with pathologists and industry executives about laboratory information systems. “It’s fire and forget,” said Ulysses G. J. Balis, MD, of the University of Michigan, about the lack of feedback from the EHR that a clinician has seen and understood a complex result. “Loss to follow-up is a real possibility,” he said.
October 2024—Instrument assessments for cyber safety are in need of a fast track—or another solution to the delays they’re creating, say some Compass Group laboratory leaders. They met online on Sept. 3 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle, with whom they also talked about mergers and acquisitions and Epic Beaker transitions.
October 2024—Do clinicians understand how the technology in hematology has evolved and how laboratory data can help guide their decisions? It’s a question roundtable participants took on when they met online Aug. 29 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. “There’s a disconnect with our clinical colleagues,” said Olga Pozdnyakova, MD, PhD, of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She and others spoke about solutions, instruments, AI, and reference ranges—in addition to the staffing shortage. “It is first and foremost in our minds,” Maria (Ria) Vergara-Lluri, MD, of Keck School of Medicine of USC, said of the ongoing shortage.
August 2024—Digital pathology, FDA oversight of laboratory-developed tests, and the workforce shortage took center stage when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle convened a roundtable online to talk about anatomic pathology laboratories. The shortage of pathologists, in particular, “is even greater than one might realize because of generational expectations around work-life balance,” said Andrew Bellizzi, MD, who applauds such balance but notes its significance. Their June 18 conversation follows.
July 2024—Instruments, assays, patient flow, and IT were some of what laboratory directors and IVD company representatives spoke of when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle convened the group online on May 3. Here’s what they said about what instruments and assays are deployed where and the considerations that come into play in large health systems.
March 2024—Anatomic and clinical pathology reporting—what’s working, what’s missing. Three pathologists (all board certified in informatics) and representatives of three information system companies met online Dec. 19 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle to talk about reporting needs and what’s optimal. The first half of their discussion was published in the February issue, with CAP TODAY’s guide to anatomic pathology computer systems. The second half begins here.
February 2024—Artificial intelligence and Medicare Advantage contracts were at the center of the Jan. 2 Compass Group virtual roundtable led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. “If you want to get into the AI world, there are many lanes you can swim in,” said Michael Feldman, MD, PhD, of Indiana University School of Medicine.
