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.

N0vember 2020—Bionano Genomics has launched the Bionano Prep SP Tissue and Tumor Kit, a DNA isolation kit developed for analysis of tumors and tissue with the company’s Saphyr system. The kit has been designed to simplify isolation of ultra-high-molecular-weight DNA from a variety of solid tumors and tissue types.
November 2020—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the availability of its Oncomine Myeloid Assay GX, the first in a series of clinical research assays available from the company’s new portfolio of hematology-oncology assays for the Ion Torrent Genexus System.
November 2020—The FDA has issued an emergency use authorization for Visby Medical’s single-use personal PCR device, a rapid test for detecting COVID-19.
November 2020—Alpha-Tec Systems has released quality control slides containing smears of red blood cells infected with a mixture of ring-form, trophozoite, and schizont stages of Plasmodium falciparum. The slides are prefixed with methanol and are ready to stain with traditional Giemsa, Wright’s, or Field stains.
November 2020—DiaSorin Molecular received FDA clearance for its Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV Direct Gen II kit. The assay can be run alone or alongside the Simplexa COVID-19 Direct kit, allowing for differential diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus.
November 2020—Qiagen plans to launch a test that can detect SARS-CoV-2 antigens in people with active infections in less than 15 minutes and process, on average, 30 swab samples per hour using a small digital detection system. The test is expected to become available in the fourth quarter of this year.
November 2020—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute released two new guidelines, MM13: Collection, Transport, Preparation, and Storage of Specimens for Molecular Methods, 2nd ed., and GP42: Collection of Capillary Blood Specimens, 7th ed.
November 2020—Hologic’s Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay, which initially received FDA emergency use authorization in May, is now authorized for testing people without symptoms or other reasons to suspect COVID-19 infection.
October 2020—Agilent Technologies released the SureSelect XT HS2 RNA reagent kit. The kit enables users to accurately profile gene expression and detect RNA fusions using low-input FFPE samples and aims to significantly improve efficiency, especially in labs that process both DNA and RNA samples for next-generation–sequencing applications.
October 2020—The FDA issued an emergency use authorization to Yale School of Public Health for its SalivaDirect COVID-19 diagnostic test, which uses a new method of processing saliva samples when testing for COVID-19 infection, the agency says.
