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.

March 2013—In patients with diabetes mellitus, hemoglobin A1c testing frequency is largely in line with recommended guidelines. In those same patients, LDL testing is not performed frequently enough, and urine protein testing frequency falls far short of recommendations.
March 2013—Regular readers know that the CAP has spent the past several years exploring how we can ensure a bright future for pathology. The future, of course, as my adult children would quip, is “ours, but also ours to lose.”
March 2013—A January study of almost 1,000 patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding has found that restrictive blood transfusion strategies produce better patient outcomes. The study, “Transfusion strategies for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding,” discovered that patients with severe acute upper GI bleeding who received blood transfusions when their hemoglobin levels fell below 7 g/dL, rather than 9 g/dL, had higher probabilities of survival at six weeks, as well as reduced rates of further bleeding and fewer adverse events (Villanueva C, et al. N Engl J Med. 2013;368:11–21).
March 2013—For pathologists and clinicians alike, molecular testing can carry shades of a Pinter play: a seemingly straightforward situation with a whiff of discomfort, if not outright menace, and bedeviled by shifting characters and layers of meaning that defy snap interpretations.
March 2013—Though tuberculosis is primarily diagnosed and treated in the public health system, there’s a need for greater knowledge about TB in the private sector, says Sundari Mase, MD, MPH, of the CDC’s Field Services and Evaluation Branch, Division of Tuberculosis Elimination. Among private physicians, she says, “there is little institutional knowledge about TB.” When Dr. Mase sees patients, often she’ll note diagnostic delays in recognizing TB, “delays that occur because physicians aren’t thinking about TB.”
March 2013—When Bobbi S. Pritt, MD, director of clinical parasitology and virology in the Division of Clinical Microbiology at Mayo Clinic, set out to improve test utilization among the physicians for whom her laboratory performs assays, she figured that knowledge was power. Simply educate the clinicians, she thought, and surely they would begin to order the most appropriate tests for their patients.
March 2013—First identified in an HIV patient in 1998, HPV 90 is a genotype of the human papillomavirus that, until now, has received little attention. It is not counted as one of the few well-defined high-risk genotypes, like HPV 16 and HPV 18, that are known to cause the majority of cervical cancer cases.
March 2013—FDA clears ALK automated gene scanner; precision medicine center at Weill Cornell, NY-Presbyterian; sequence-based system cleared for HLA typing; Abbott to collaborate on companion CLL test; Cepheid, OHSU to develop oncology assays for Xpert; Clarient adopts Qiagen KRAS; test could reduce number of repeat biopsies; and Ventana, Biocare sign p63 license agreement.
March 2013—Submit your pathology-related question for reply by appropriate medical consultants. CAP TODAY will make every effort to answer all relevant questions. However, those questions that are not of general interest may not receive a reply. For your question to be considered, you must include your name and address; this information will be omitted if your question is published in CAP TODAY.
