Hear an expert discuss how to integrate Kappa and Lambda in situ hybridization testing into your standard hematopathology workflow to accurately assess B-cell and plasma cell clonality. You will also gain the skills to recognize testing pitfalls in challenging reactive versus neoplastic proliferations and apply ancillary tools to resolve complex cases.

January 2017—Reimbursement policies, competitive forces, and pathologist workforce numbers will reshape pathology groups in the coming years, say Barry Portugal, president of Florida-based Health Care Development Services, and Edward P. Fody, MD, president of Western Michigan Pathology Associates.
January 2017—Michael Laposata, MD, PhD, has been speaking for years about the need for laboratory consultations and diagnostic management teams, and he will lead the first formal meeting Feb. 7–8 in Galveston, Tex., on what the teams are and how to implement them. Writer Ron Shinkman put a few questions to him about diagnostic management teams and pathology practice. Dr. Laposata is a professor in and chairman of the Department of Pathology, University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston. Here’s what he said.
January 2017—Tumor profiling and patient outcomes in genotype-matched clinical trials: Molecular profiling of tumors with next-generation sequencing can provide important diagnostic and prognostic information that can be used to inform treatment strategies.
January 2017—Drawbacks of reflex ER and PR analysis of DCIS in breast needle core biopsies; Analysis of eosinophils and mast cells of gastrointestinal tract in healthy children; Classifying gastric cancer into molecular subgroups; Clinicopathologic significance of mismatch repair defects in endometrial cancer; Use of immunostains to distinguish hepatic adenoma from hepatocellular carcinoma; Prognostic effect of PD-L1 expression patterns in cervical cancers; Variation in pattern-based classification of invasive endocervical adenocarcinoma
January 2017—Impact of laboratory cost display on resident attitudes and knowledge of costs: The Institute of Medicine report on health care quality recommends providing better care at lower costs. However, the United States has consistently seen rising health care costs instead of cost reductions. An approach to reducing unnecessary health care spending is to make physicians more aware of the cost of diagnostic tests.
January 2017—I have a technologist who is a recent graduate from a medical technology school. She has her BA but the school she attended did not offer an internship program. We are offering her one year of on-the-job training so she will be able to sit for her ASCP certification exam after completing the one year of training.
January 2017—How informatics tools can boost QA in anatomic pathology: Love and marriage, cookies and milk . . . quality assurance and informatics? In pathology, the latter pair are a natural fit, says Liron Pantanowitz, MD.
January 2017—Experts collaborate on evidence-based somatic variant classification system; FDA clears next-generation test for MRSA colonization; PMA approval granted for Aptima HIV-1 Quant; Henry Ford announces automation partnership; ArcherDX launches immune repertoire sequencing assays
In the December 2016 issue was a report, “Isolated hepatic neuroendocrine tumor expressing albumin mRNA and arginase-1,” 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.
