February 2015—Tissue processors, tissue embedders, microtomes, slide stainers—we tackled them all in our first-ever product guide to anatomic pathology automation. (Yes, we realize most tissue embedders are largely manual but included them because they are vital to the automated process.) Zeroing in on what questions to ask the vendors—that is, knowing what you, the readers, need to know—was no simple task.
February 2015—In speaking to audiences all over the world about the intricacies of risk management through quality control, QC expert Curtis Parvin, PhD, has noticed a certain pattern over the past 10 years. Following his presentation, he’s likely to hear this reaction: “I’m not sure I totally understand that. It sounds pretty impressive, but how do you expect me to go through that process in my lab?”
February 2015—CAP Press’ new Atlas of Transplant Pathology is now out. We spoke with its editors and a contributor last month; this month we bring to you one of its 56 chapters. To order, see next page. Protocols for histologic evaluation of potential donor livers for steatosis and other pathology vary by center.
January 2015—A task force of the American Society of Cytopathology in 2009 began the work involved in developing workload recommendations for cytotechnologists who screen image-guided Pap tests. The available data strongly suggested that Pap test screening workloads, as currently approved by the FDA and practiced in some laboratories, are too high and may represent a patient safety risk for the women whose Pap tests are reviewed under those conditions.
January 2015—It’s a somewhat stark fact: When hospitalized cancer patients die from something other than cancer, the cause is most likely to be venous thromboembolism. But there is a degree of mystery about why some cancer patients are more prone than others to be afflicted with VTE.
January 2015—As new technology is incorporated into practice and health care reimbursement models evolve, the field of pathology continues to transform. For example, in gynecologic cytopathology, Papanicolaou testing is declining as molecular testing for human papillomavirus is incorporated into cervical cancer screening. This has an adverse impact on daily cytotechnology workload. Simultaneously, decreased reimbursement is affecting pathology practices, and questions have been raised about potential shortfalls in the future pathologist workforce.
January 2015—Molecular genetics laboratories in the U.S. are doing a great job. Ten-year data from the molecular genetics Surveys in the CAP proficiency testing program show that U.S. clinical laboratories are making extremely accurate calls using molecular genetics assays. At the 2014 meeting of the Association for Molecular Pathology, Karen E. Weck, MD, and Iris Schrijver, MD, presented results from seven of the proficiency Surveys that the CAP/ACMG Biochemical and Molecular Genetics Resource Committee oversees. Dr. Weck is the chair of the committee; Dr. Schrijver is past chair.
January 2015—CAP TODAY’s 2015 guide to coagulation analyzers begins here. Diagnostica Stago last year released rivaroxaban and apixaban calibrators and controls (research-use only) for automated anti-Xa activity assessment. It expects in the coming months to submit them for 510(k) clearance, says Nichole Howard, Stago’s communications specialist. The company will soon release the automated ecarin chromogenic assay for dabigatran (RUO).
January 2015—Dark matter is shrinking—at least in the thyroid cancer part of the universe. Until recently, the percentage of papillary thyroid carcinomas with no known oncogenic drivers hovered around 25 percent. Now, with the publication of the most recent research effort by The Cancer Genome Atlas project, that number has shrunk considerably, to about 3.5 percent.
January 2015—While no one would question the virtues of accurate laboratory results, a recently concluded Q-Probes study is a new reminder that alone they’re not enough. Results should be reviewed before a lab goes live with a new interface that transmits results to the electronic health record, as well as when changes are made at the laboratory or EHR level that could alter test resulting. They also should be reviewed periodically, say the authors of the study, titled “Validating Laboratory Results in Electronic Health Records.”
