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.

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.

November 2018—Roche announced the phase three KATHERINE study met its primary endpoint, showing Kadcyla (trastuzumab emtansine) as a single agent significantly reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death (invasive disease-free survival) compared with trastuzumab as an adjuvant treatment in people with HER2-positive early breast cancer who have residual disease present following neoadjuvant treatment.
November 2018—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics is collaborating with Johns Hopkins Medicine to explore co-innovation initiatives with the goal of developing and commercializing novel solutions that address challenges in health care.
November 2018—Qiagen and Hamilton Robotics announced a collaboration to improve processing of Qiagen’s QuantiFeron-TB Gold Plus diagnostic test through the integration of Hamilton’s Microlab Star automated liquid handling workstation into the QFT-Plus assay workflow.
November 2018—Sakura Finetek USA launched the Accu-Cut SRM 300 LT manual microtome. New features include a four-color LED backlit 3D precision chuck, which increases the contrast between specimens and paraffin without warming the block. Users can visualize translucent biopsies in the block using one or a combination of the four LED colors.
November 2018—ARUP Laboratories has added seven new genes to its Solid Tumor Mutation Panel by Next Generation Sequencing. The genes added are CTNNB1 (beta catenin), DDR2, MAP2K1, MTOR, NTRK1, ROS1, and TERT.
November 2018—Siemens Healthineers announced that Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is the first children’s hospital worldwide to install the Atellica Solution immunoassay and clinical chemistry analyzers.
October 2018—Kurin announced the results of clinical data from hospitals that use its FDA-cleared blood culture diversion device. In studies conducted at Crouse Hospital, Syracuse, NY, and Bayfront Health, St. Petersburg, Fla., the hospitals saw an overall reduction—56 percent and 54 percent, respectively—in contaminated blood cultures inclusive of all cultures drawn with or without the device. When a Kurin set was used in the blood collection, Crouse saw an 89 percent reduction in contaminated blood cultures and Bayfront a 90 percent reduction in contaminated cultures. In both cases, the hospitals were already below the three percent national contamination rate benchmark when they began using Kurin. Using the company’s passive diversion technology, the hospitals’ overall contamination rates decreased to 0.8 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively. The company has also released a five-minute documentary film titled Cry Wolf: The Consequences of Blood Culture Contamination. The film addresses the prevalence of blood culture contamination, the clinical impact on patients, and the steep associated costs for hospitals. Cry Wolf can be viewed at www.betterbloodcultures.com.
October 2018—Techlab received FDA 510(k) clearance for its H. Pylori Quik Chek and H. Pylori Chek tests. The tests aim to offer quick and reliable detection of Helicobacter pylori–specific antigen in human fecal specimens.
October 2018—Oxford Gene Technology announced it is selling its Cytocell fluorescence in situ hybridization products through several affiliates of Sysmex Corp. in Europe. “The move is a testament to the ongoing successful integration of the two companies and commitment to combine efforts to support and serve end users,” according to a press release from OGT.
October 2018—Beckman Coulter filed a submission for 510(k) clearance with the FDA for its Early Sepsis Indicator, offered as part of a standard CBC with differential test.
