February 2014—Pathologists and laboratories have found new administrative challenges following deep payment cuts and policy changes in the 2014 Medicare physician fee schedule. By the time the fee schedule was finalized Nov. 27, 2013, pathologists were left with little time to sort through the impact of the changes before they became effective Jan. 1.
February 2014—I wrote in recent columns about CAP Surveys, laboratory accreditation, and other laboratory improvement programs. These are core activities tied to some of our most important goals—timely, efficient, patient-centered, cost-effective care that yields optimal outcomes.
February 2014—We are thinking about using a reference laboratory for HER2 FISH testing of breast carcinomas with an arrangement in which that lab performs the technical component and we perform the interpretation. A “frequently asked question” from 2011 on the CAP Web site seems to say that we must perform bright-field ISH proficiency testing to be in compliance, since we are not performing the hybridization and cannot refer PT to another laboratory. Can you clarify the PT requirement, if any, for this situation? The vendor we are dealing with has offered to establish its own FISH PT program.
February 2014—Comorbidity-adjusted life expectancy: a new tool to aid cancer screening strategies: Controversy surrounds how best to use cancer screening tests in the elderly and at what age to stop screening. The benefits of early cancer diagnosis and treatment decline with age because many elderly people are more likely to die of a comorbid condition or other cause than of cancer. This impacts the survival benefits of early cancer detection. One must also consider the harms of screening, including complications of further testing and treatment for a disease that may not be symptomatic in a patient’s lifetime.
February 2014—Orchard Software collaborates with Memorial Sloan-Kettering: Orchard Software has entered into a long-term agreement with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center under which Orchard will supply the cancer center with its Orchard Harvest lab information system while working with Memorial Sloan-Kettering to enhance and further develop its lab informatics products.
February 2014—Early stage triple-negative breast cancer treated with mastectomy without adjuvant radiotherapy; Predicting recurrence after limited resection versus lobectomy for small lung adenocarcinoma; HER2 amplification in gastric cancer: a rare event restricted to intestinal phenotype; Gleason score undergrading on biopsy sample of prostate cancer; Fallopian tube intraluminal tumor spread from noninvasive precursor lesions; Factors that influence histopathological diagnosis of differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia; Impact of molecular analysis on final sarcoma diagnosis; Distinguishing primary bladder adenocarcinoma from secondary involvement by colorectal adenocarcinoma; Determining if close margins warrant postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy in oral squamous cell carcinoma; Three methodological approaches for defining basal-like lesions in triple-negative breast carcinoma
