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.

The way forward for prehospital transfusion

December 2022—Ask Leonard Weiss, MD, what his favorite part of his schedule is, and he’s quick to answer that it’s the fieldwork: the helicopter and ambulance dispatches he accompanies once or twice a month as associate medical director of emergency medical services at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Dr. Weiss, who is also assistant professor of emergency medicine and assistant medical director of Pittsburgh’s Stat Medevac service, says one of the UPMC emergency services he strongly supports is the prehospital transfusion of blood products. “Until recently, there wasn’t a lot of evidence to deploy its use on the ground as it is in the air, but thanks to extensive use by the military and scientific evidence of the value of prehospital transfusion,” he says, it is more likely to become part of some hospitals’ emergency medicine programs. The 911 ground-based transfusion program at UPMC and city of Pittsburgh EMS began in 2020. As Dr. Weiss and his UPMC colleagues acknowledge, however, myriad complexities come into play.

Digital pathology now, and where to from here

Nearly 800 registrants were at the Digital Pathology Association’s Pathology Visions meeting this fall, and 54 companies exhibited. “There was a great vibe at the meeting. People were mingling, collaborative. Digital pathology is picking up,” says DPA president Esther Abels. Her term as president will end this month and Liron Pantanowitz, MD, PhD, MHA, of the University of Michigan, will step in as president on Jan. 1.

New for waived-only labs: a custom GEN checklist

December 2022—Laboratories that provide only waived testing will now have a CAP accreditation program laboratory general (GEN) checklist tailored to waived test procedures, beginning with the 2022 checklist edition released in October.

Artificial intelligence in pathology: the tools, the talk

December 2022—In September, when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle met with pathologists and representatives of companies to talk about laboratory information systems (“Lab information systems—where the needs are greatest,” https://bit.ly/LIS_112022), they talked also about artificial intelligence—innovations, clinical impact, how much interest there is. That part of their conversation follows.

First Japanese hospital lab earns CAP accreditation

December 2022—Atsushi Ohtsu, MD, PhD, director of Japan’s prestigious National Cancer Center Hospital East, reached a groundbreaking decision with his management team in February 2020: They decided to pursue CAP accreditation. While the CAP has accredited more than 40 laboratories in Japan, this was to be a first for a Japanese hospital. And it was: In September 2022, the CAP advised the cancer center (NCCE) of its success in achieving accreditation and congratulated the team for the excellence of its laboratory services.

Bright prognosis for brain injury biomarkers

November 2022—The lack of tools for assessing traumatic brain injury has long bedeviled physicians. There’s CT. And then? “This has been an unmet medical need for years,” says Ramon Diaz-Arrastia, MD, PhD, the John McCrea Dickson, MD, professor of neurology and director of the Clinical Traumatic Brain Injury Research Center, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. “As many of us know, it’s one of the major barriers that has hindered clinically advanced development of new therapies in TBI. And I think it’s pretty clear that the clinical evaluation alone leaves a lot to be desired.” “I am always frustrated that we have limited tools,” agrees Frederick Korley, MD, PhD, associate professor and associate chair for research in emergency medicine, University of Michigan Medical School, and scientific director, Massey TBI Grand Challenge, Weil Institute, University of Michigan. That’s now on the cusp of changing. Blood-based biomarkers for brain injury may not be bellying up to the bar just yet, but they are starting to raise the bar for how physicians assess TBI.

Is apolipoprotein B the best measure of CVD risk?

November 2022—The evidence in favor of measuring apolipoprotein B routinely, with other lipid parameters, is now so overwhelming, says cardiologist Allan Sniderman, MD, that he believes it’s unreasonable to deny patients the advantage of apoB. “If evidence is what counts,” he says, “then the care Americans receive should include apoB.”
