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.

May 2020—Along with SARS-CoV-2, clinical laboratory testing has been hiding in plain sight far longer than many people realize. But it took the novel coronavirus (which, frankly, hardly feels novel anymore) to make that clear to the rest of the world. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, laboratory testing crashed the news cycle. National leaders sought to reassure citizens by promising millions of test kits.
May 2020—When tick-borne infections are the topic of discussion, talk of Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, has tended to predominate. But as the prevalence of tick-borne infections in the United States rises steadily and widens geographically, the number of novel pathogens carried by ticks has been climbing as well.
May 2020—To combat the spread of COVID-19, Louisiana’s governor in late March issued an order directing state residents to limit their excursions outside.
Michael Becich, MD, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and five others spoke with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle in March about the hype versus reality of artificial intelligence and the tension around it. Here is what they had to say.
May 2020—But as the prevalence of tick-borne infections in the United States rises steadily and widens geographically, the number of novel pathogens carried by ticks—including non-Lyme bacteria, protozoa, and viruses—has been climbing as well.
May 2020—William B. Zeiler, MD, CAP president from 1987 to 1989, died March 24 at age 99. Dr. Zeiler was CAP vice president from 1985 to 1987 and a member of the Board of Governors from 1981 to 1985. He led and was a member of several CAP councils, committees, and commissions. He was named CAP Pathologist of the Year in 1990, and winner of the Gold Headed Cane Award from the World Association of Societies of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in 2001.
May 2020—Christine C. Ginocchio, PhD, MT(ASCP), in an April 8 CAP TODAY webinar, reported findings on the analytical efficiencies and sensitivities of four of the original and most common of the SARS-CoV-2 assays. Read more.
May 2020—Traditionally, histopathologic diagnosis has been regarded as the gold standard for most disease processes including cancer. However, in certain circumstances, a final histopathologic diagnosis cannot be rendered despite extensive conventional ancillary testing such as immunohistochemistry. In recent years, molecular testing has revealed specific variant signatures for many tumors, which can be used to determine a final diagnosis.
May 2020—Like a top 40 radio hit, test utilization is a topic that can sometimes seem to be overplayed. But the COVID-19 pandemic brings into sharp relief its importance. “What we’ve seen is organizations that have more mature test utilization efforts in place may be better able to handle these crises,” says Peter L. Perrotta, MD, professor and chair of pathology, anatomy, and laboratory medicine at West Virginia University School of Medicine and director of pathology services, West Virginia University Health System.
May 2020—According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study from 2008 to 2012, there are about 16,000 cases of HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma per year in the United States. These carcinomas tend to present with small primary lesion and early nodal metastases as an initial manifestation of the disease. Furthermore, carcinoma of unknown primary presenting as a cystic metastasis in the head and neck has been linked frequently to oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas, mainly of palatine tonsils and base of the tongue.
