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 2022—Among the countless interruptions COVID-19 has inflicted on the medical community, one of the most obvious has been conversational. In the face of a global pandemic, other topics can seem unworthy of discussion. But as some post-pandemic normalcy creeps back in, so does the focus on topics of equal, if less dramatic, importance.
May 2022—Studies show promise for new approaches to biomarkers for myocarditis diagnosis, one of which is circulating microRNA mmu-miR-721. Another biomarker, sera soluble ST2 (sST2), which has been found to be clinically useful in predicting heart failure, could be added to existing biomarkers used to diagnose patients with myocarditis, interpreted according to sex and age. And serial high-sensitivity troponin measurements might be another approach to diagnosing and monitoring myocarditis.
May 2022—Myelodysplastic syndromes are often challenging to diagnose, and it’s the exceptions to the rules that make it so, said Phillipp W. Raess, MD, PhD, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, Oregon Health and Science University, speaking at CAP21.
May 2022—Opening and expanding schools—the path to a labor pool for labs. Compass Group members continue to move on that as they experiment with other solutions. “We’re exploring every avenue to bridge the staffing gap,” said Dhobie Wong of Sutter Health in a virtual roundtable with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle on April 5.
May 2022—Infectious disease diagnosis sometimes requires a surgical pathologist, often in unexpected situations. In a CAP21 session, “Uncultured: Infectious Diseases in Surgical Pathology,” Sarah D. Hackman, MD, assistant professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Texas Health San Antonio, presented a sampling of such cases, two of which follow.
May 2022—Users of the CAP’s redesigned laboratory inspector training course, introduced last December, should find it to be more fun, less chore, and tailored to what they need to know, say those who developed the new course. And it’s open and accessible to all.
May 2022—Next-generation sequencing—the worries, the wins, and what’s new. That’s what came up when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle led an NGS-focused roundtable on March 14. With him were Jeremy Segal, MD, PhD, of the University of Chicago; Pierre Del Moral, PhD, MBA, and Fiona Nohilly of Illumina; Sohaib Qureshi, PhD, of Thermo Fisher Scientific; and Andy Johnson, DPhil, of Janssen. Here’s what they had to say.
May 2022—Substantial progress has been made during the past several years in diagnosing and treating various illnesses. Advances in genetic and genomic science; imaging and localization devices; the use of minimally invasive diagnostic sampling procedures; diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive testing; and personalized therapeutic options—all have changed the pattern of the practice of medicine and how patient care is provided.
May 2022—The ineffectiveness of the U.S. health care system is well documented. The United States consistently allocates more resources for health care compared with other industrialized countries, while not holding the top spots for desired outcomes. A significant percentage of Americans is underinsured or uninsured, and access to quality care is widely asymmetrical among different racial and ethnic groups. Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 highlighted these health inequities in which Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and immigrants were the populations to disproportionately experience disparities related to burden of disease and mortality.
May 2022—The number of minimally invasive fine-needle aspirations requiring rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in the cytopathology laboratory has increased over the past decade. Laboratories have seen lower gynecologic volumes and an increase in both nongynecologic fine-needle aspiration biopsy and touch imprint samples. ROSE for patient care has proven value. Sample adequacy allows for a single visit and avoids having to make multiple attempts to provide material sufficient for all required testing, including flow cytometry, microbiology, cell block preparation for immunohistochemical and histochemical staining, and molecular testing.
