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.

June 2022

Breast cancer breakthrough sparks HER2 quest

June 2022—The latest advance in breast cancer treatment is a big one—the promising antibody drug conjugate fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki, or T-DXd (Enhertu). The drug was granted break­through therapy designation this spring for patients with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, and the drug and trial on which the decision was based were the focus of the plenary session at the ASCO annual meeting in early June. “This drug in particular is a variant of a drug we are all very familiar with—Herceptin, or trastuzumab,” says David Rimm, MD, PhD, the Anthony N. Brady professor of pathology, professor of medicine (oncology), director of the translational pathology and Yale pathology tissue services, and director of the physician scientist training program in pathology, Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine. Also familiar: the IHC test to determine eligibility for the drug, a companion diagnostic developed decades ago. But that’s where easy familiarity ends.

A single pathway for HIV testing and therapy

June 2022—By revealing the value of a diagnostic algorithm using quantitative RNA as the second test to confirm reactive HIV screening results, Daniel Gromer, MD, and colleagues say their simulation modeling suggests clinical improvement over the standard-of-care algorithm, and at lower cost if HIV specimen positivity is high.

AACC session to zero in on cannabis and driving

June 2022—The effects of acute cannabis on driving performance and how impaired drivers can be detected will be reported at the AACC annual meeting July 24–28. Sessions on serum COVID-19 antibodies and lab workforce solutions are two more of the many that await attendees in Chicago.

Compass on ‘consumerizing health care’ and more

June 2022—What stood out among all that was seen and heard at the Executive War College? Compass Group members who were there answer CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle’s question in their early May virtual get-together, shortly after the War College took place. Here’s what they and other lab leaders said about retail lab testing, digital pathology and artificial intelligence, and their plans for the future.

Race in medicine: Is it data or distraction?

June 2022—How race shows up in the medical school curriculum and what to do about it was the focus of a grand rounds by Andrea T. Deyrup, MD, PhD, and Joseph L. Graves Jr., PhD, presented virtually this spring to the University of Minnesota Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, on behalf of the department’s diversity, equity, and inclusion committee.

From the President’s Desk

June 2022—You’re probably familiar with the expression “jack of all trades, master of none.” While that sounds disparaging, it’s actually taken out of context. The original quote in its entirety is, “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” It was intended as a compliment for someone who had good, broad knowledge. The widespread misinterpretation of that quote supports a common idea that no individual can be really good at a lot of different things. But pathologists challenge that concept every day. While many of us subspecialize, we are able to fall back on our broad training when circumstances require it. Such may be the case when encountering pathologic findings that indicate a disorder not commonly found in our area of expertise, or findings that indicate a systemic illness. Many of us find that we have to be experts on different things on different days and in different parts of our career.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

June 2022—Medical student visiting, or “away,” rotations usually occur in medical students’ fourth year and often align with participants’ specialty of interest at an institution for which they have an interest in the residency program.
