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.

April 2018—Sciex Diagnostics announced the launch of the Citrine Triple Quad MS/MS and Citrine Qtrap MS/MS systems for clinical diagnostics. The Citrine MS/MS system enables the measurement of trace levels of biomarkers and metabolites at sub-pg/mL concentrations, comprehensive multianalyte panels, and the measurement of large and small molecules.
April 2018—Roche will acquire San Diego–based Ignyta for $27.00 per share in cash, or $1.7 billion. Ignyta, which will continue its operations in San Diego, focuses on precision medicine in oncology aiming to test, identify, and treat patients with cancers harboring specific rare mutations.
April 2018—LGC Maine Standards announced it has enhanced the Validate THY linearity and calibration verification kit by adding free triiodothyronine (FT3) as a component of total triiodothyronine (TT3).
April 2018—One year after its establishment, the Blood Profiling Atlas in Cancer consortium announced the public release of an initial dataset aimed at speeding the development and approval of liquid biopsy technologies. The dataset resides in the BloodPAC data commons and was developed to deepen the understanding of a patient’s cancer and accelerate the development of liquid biopsy technology to improve the outcomes of patients with cancer.
April 2018—Advanced Instruments announced the availability of its Osmo1 Single-Sample Micro-Osmometer. It is suited for clinical laboratories that directly draw and test small sample volumes and was designed specifically to improve efficiency and reduce sample turnaround time.
April 2018—Siemens Healthineers received FDA 510(k) clearance for its blood urea nitrogen and total carbon dioxide point-of-care tests to aid in the diagnosis of renal diseases and metabolic imbalances.
April 2018—LGC Maine Standards released two Validate linearity and calibration verification kits. The Validate Procalcitonin kit for Roche Cobas analyzers is in a human-serum matrix. The Validate HbA1c kit is for Tosoh analyzers and is in a human, whole blood matrix.
April 2018—Thermo Fisher Scientific has expanded its Oncomine portfolio with two assays for liquid biopsy and immuno-oncology for clinical research. The company also announced its next-generation Ion AmpliSeq HD technology. The Ion Torrent Oncomine Pan-Cancer Cell-Free Assay enables reproducible detection and analysis of tumor DNA and RNA across all major classes of somatic mutations (SNVs, indels, CNVs, and fusions) from a single vial of blood, with as little as 1 ng of nucleic acid input, within two days.
April 2018—Roche launched the Cobas Plasma Separation Card, a sample collection device for HIV plasma viral load testing. By requiring only a small amount of a patient’s blood from a fingertip, this card simplifies blood collection and sample transportation, as compared with traditional plasma-based testing.
April 2018—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced the addition of 6-acetylmorphine and buprenorphine assays to its menu of drugs-of-abuse tests for use on its AU chemistry analyzers (AU480, AU680, AU5800). The Syva Emit II Plus 6-AM assay provides a convenient and quick way to selectively screen for heroin use, in place of methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
