Pharma strives to aid companion diagnostics

May 2015—M. Elizabeth H. Hammond, MD, is no mind reader. But approach her at a conference or meeting, and she has a pretty good idea what you’re going to ask her. “I was the chair for the 2007 and 2013 ASCO-CAP HER2 guideline, and since that time, the most common question I get from individuals is, ‘How do you know the guideline is making any difference?’” says Dr. Hammond, who is a professor of pathology and adjunct professor of internal medicine at the University of Utah School of Medicine and a consulting pathologist, Intermountain Healthcare.

QC for accreditation: CMS validation inspections

May 2015—Quality control is second nature and part of the air that laboratories breathe. So it’s no surprise that QC should be subject to quality checks of its own, as one of the pivotal checklist areas that CAP’s Laboratory Accreditation Program focuses on during inspections.

MALDI in microbiology: Set to stun?

May 2015—In the business world, the term “disruptive innovation” is hot. In product launches, business plans, and job resumes, it’s become a standard part of the pitch. Like the flux capacitor in the fictional DeLorean time machine, disruptive innovations vault a field past traditional barriers and obstacles, outstripping rival technologies.

Laying worries to rest over breast biopsy discord

May 2015—With the regularity of a pension fiscal crisis they appear: one study or another, in various journals, pointing out discrepancies in pathology findings. Editorials appear, the news jumps to the lay press, and suddenly the conversation feels hijacked.

At CAP ’15, 98 courses and a focus on daily practice

May 2015—With several dozen pathology associations worldwide, many with their own meetings, why should a pathologist opt to attend CAP ’15 in Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 4–7? Philip Cagle, MD, supplies some thoughts. “There are many pathology organizations, and each has its own niche. Whereas at the CAP meeting, there are many courses covering a broad range of areas, from things such as practice management and quality assurance to different areas of anatomic pathology and clinical pathology,” says Dr. Cagle, …

Aptima HPV and Aptima genotype assays for triage of borderline squamous (ASCUS) cytology: CLEAR study

May 2015—The characterization of the HPV genome and development of techniques that have the ability to detect nucleic acids in cytologic specimens has had a major impact on patient management. The Hybrid Capture 2 High-Risk HPV DNA Test, or HC2 (Qiagen, Gaithersburg, Md.), which uses probes designed to target the entire HPV genome, was cleared by the FDA in 1996. It was soon realized that determination of clinical sensitivity and specificity was essential to fully characterize assay performance and understand and classify correlation with cervical disease.

Labs solve price, space squeeze to welcome TLA

May 2015—After several years of watching their European counterparts have all the fun, a handful of American microbiology laboratories are going live with systems touted as providing total automation of diagnostic bacteriology. The systems automate how specimens are barcoded, plated, and inoculated, then move the plates on a track to an incubator, photograph them at a preset incubation time, discard or keep the plates as appropriate, and offer up the digital images for interpretation by medical technologists viewing them on computer screens.

Cytopathology + More | Latest guidelines for pancreatobiliary cytology—a recap

May 2015—Pancreatobiliary malignancy currently accounts for about three percent of all cancer cases and six to seven percent of all cancer deaths, making it the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. Between 2006 and 2010 the incidence rate of pancreatic cancer increased by 1.3 percent per year and the death rate increased by 0.4 percent per year.1 The incidence of pancreatic cancer has tripled since the 1920s, likely secondary to an aging population, improved disease reporting, and possibly due to increased environmental mutagens2 such as smoking.

Cytopathology and More | Negative Pap, positive hrHPV: what we know so far

May 2015—Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide, and high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) is considered the principal causative factor in the development of most cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. For this reason, screening algorithms that include testing for hrHPV are part of the new cervical cancer screening guidelines set forth by the American Cancer Society, American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, and American Society for Clinical Pathology.

Cytopathology and More | Inside the 2014 Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology

May 2015—The value of standardized terminology for reporting cytology and histopathologyhas been essential in our work and important for patient care. The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology, put forward in 1988 thanks to the pioneering work of Diane Solomon, MD, and Robert Kurman, MD,1 saw unprecedented adoption around the world. The Bethesda System, or TBS, led to a number of significant downstream events …
