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.

February 2025—Eric Huang, MD, PhD, is the first to admit that when it came time to switch to primary HPV testing, his laboratory at the University of Washington faced fewer obstacles than most. Dr. Huang joined the university in 2018 as director of the cytopathology laboratory.
February 2025—In the 2024 accreditation program checklist edition, released Dec. 26, are new and revised requirements for chemistry, diagnostic immunology, and flow cytometry laboratories. Two of the flow cytometry requirements are now also in the anatomic pathology checklist.
February 2025—HER2 in predictive biomarker testing, HPV-related cancer testing guidelines, and the art of applying polygenic risk scores will be some of what’s heard in USCAP 2025 sessions next month in Boston.
February 2025—Intracranial mesenchymal tumors (IMT) are extremely rare and account for only 0.3 percent of soft tissue tumors. Most frequently, mesenchymal tumors occur in subcutaneous tissue; they are rarely described in the central nervous system. In addition, these tumors typically occur in young adults,1 with a median patient age of 14 (range: four to 70).
February 2025—Some of the CAP accreditation program requirements in the 2024 microbiology and transfusion medicine checklists, in the edition released Dec. 26, have been revised to simplify, clarify, and conserve resources. In transfusion, one new requirement was added to define policy requirements for the use of low-titer group O whole blood.
February 2025—Digital pathology, artificial intelligence, and anatomic pathology computer systems—seven participants in a Dec. 10, 2024 online roundtable talked with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle about their experiences, plans, and predictions. Large academic center practices and small pathology practices—they considered all perspectives. Here is what they told us.
January 2025—Pathology informatics leaders at the University of Michigan are moving in steps to a fully digital practice as they put in place an innovative workflow for primary diagnosis. Fresh off their August launch of the new workflow program within their remodeled histology lab, informatics directors in the pathology department say Michigan Medicine is the first in the U.S. to have radiology and pathology operating in the same shared picture archiving and communication system, or PACS, and to implement the well-established DICOM standard for pathology workflow.
January 2025—The point-of-care checklist in the 2024 accreditation checklist edition, released Dec. 26, now includes requirements on coagulation specimen collection and handling.
January 2025—A study published last year found variability in the variants tested for in the commercial lab DPYD genotyping assays available at the time of the study, underscoring “the importance of comprehensive DPYD genotyping to accurately identify patients with DPD deficiency,” the authors said. Compromised dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency raises a cancer patient’s risk of fluorouracil toxicity.
January 2025—Whether grade group 1 prostate cancer should be renamed to “noncancer” was the center of debate on a CAP podcast last fall led by Gladell P. Paner, MD, in discussion with Ming Zhou, MD, PhD, and Rajal B. Shah, MD. Dr. Paner is professor of pathology and surgery, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, and director of the genitourinary pathology service and of the reproductive endocrinology and infertility laboratory, UChicago Medicine.
