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 2024—Laboratory-developed testing as it relates to next-generation sequencing was up first in the NGS conversation led online by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle on March 19. Other topics: in-house NGS testing, artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics. “There’s a reality now where bioinformatics is solid, stable, and reliable,” said José Luis Costa, PhD, of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
May 2024—Classically, immunohistochemical expression of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by strong expression of neuroendocrine markers, notably synaptophysin, chromogranin A, insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1), and CD-56. However, up to 20 percent of SCLCs demonstrate low or no expression of neuroendocrine (NE) markers by IHC and are termed “NE-low/negative.”
May 2024—Breast cancer continues to remain a major global health issue and one of the main leading causes of cancer mortality among women worldwide. The majority of breast cancer mortality is attributed to its ability to metastasize. Bone, lung, liver, pleura, and brain are the most common sites of metastatic lesions, often spreading from invasive breast carcinoma of no special type.
May 2024—Fine-needle aspiration has been an important diagnostic tool for the workup of patients with abnormal enlargement of lymph nodes and related organs, including the spleen and thymus.
April 2024—It’s readily apparent in the patient populations at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he is director of the mycology laboratory. Especially concerning is the increase in Candida auris following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, both in terms of colonization and infection cases, says Dr. Zhang, who is also associate professor of pathology, Division of Medical Microbiology, Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “Since 2022, we suddenly saw an uptick in Candida auris cases across the Johns Hopkins Health System.”
April 2024—The rise in fungal infections in recent years troubles Sean Zhang, MD, PhD, for reasons near and far. It’s readily apparent in the patient populations at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he is director of the mycology laboratory. Especially concerning is the increase in Candida auris following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, both in terms of colonization and infection cases, says Dr. Zhang, who is also associate professor of pathology, Division of Medical Microbiology, Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “Since 2022, we suddenly saw an uptick in Candida auris cases across the Johns Hopkins Health System.” But the situation isn’t unique to Johns Hopkins. Pointing to CDC figures, he notes that the tide is rising more broadly as well. The agency reports that in 2020, there were 757 clinical cases and 1,310 screening cases of C. auris in the United States. In 2022, there were 2,377 clinical cases and 5,754 screening cases.
With the technology now available, could and should remote diagnostic pathology, or at least a hybrid model, become more the norm in the future? Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, and Casey P. Schukow …
April 2024—As the call for fast turnaround of genetic testing results in tumor profiling grows louder, the need for rapid, reliable test methods becomes more pressing. Meanwhile, with new genetic biomarkers emerging at a rapid pace, “everything has tipped the balance toward comprehensive next-generation sequencing analysis,” said Maria E. Arcila, MD, attending pathologist, molecular diagnostics and hematopathology services, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. In the midst of this complexity, “the ability to provide rapid and simple results is lagging behind,” said Dr. Arcila, in addressing rapid molecular testing in solid tumors at the Association for Molecular Pathology meeting last year.
April 2024—The Food and Drug Administration in February cleared Proscia’s Concentriq AP-Dx digital pathology software for the purpose of primary diagnosis. Shortly after, Proscia cofounder and CEO David West spoke with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle about achieving new efficiencies, elevating pathology, the heterogeneous nature of the pathology community, and being able to learn from digital pathology’s early adopters. “Laboratories and pathologists going digital don’t have to be first anymore,” West said.
April 2024—In billing for pathology and laboratory services, the hurdles are only getting higher. Narrow networks, prior authorizations, claims denials. Payers “have deeper pockets and figure they can outlast us,” said Joe Saad, MD, chair of the CAP Council on Government and Professional Affairs, in a Feb. 14 roundtable led online by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. He and others talked about AI, digital pathology codes and molecular Z-Codes, biomarker testing, and unity within the laboratory community.
