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.

June 2022—For many blood suppliers, there is more enthusiasm for low titer O whole blood than there is an ability to make it, especially with the pandemic having made it harder than ever to collect.
June 2022—What to look for in serous fluid cytology is what Eva M. Wojcik, MD, of Loyola University in Chicago, and Xiaoyin “Sara” Jiang, MD, of Duke Health, set forth in their CAP21 session last year.
June 2022—The effects of acute cannabis on driving performance and how impaired drivers can be detected will be reported at the AACC annual meeting July 24–28. Sessions on serum COVID-19 antibodies and lab workforce solutions are two more of the many that await attendees in Chicago.
June 2022—What stood out among all that was seen and heard at the Executive War College? Compass Group members who were there answer CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle’s question in their early May virtual get-together, shortly after the War College took place. Here’s what they and other lab leaders said about retail lab testing, digital pathology and artificial intelligence, and their plans for the future.
June 2022—How race shows up in the medical school curriculum and what to do about it was the focus of a grand rounds by Andrea T. Deyrup, MD, PhD, and Joseph L. Graves Jr., PhD, presented virtually this spring to the University of Minnesota Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, on behalf of the department’s diversity, equity, and inclusion committee.
June 2022—The CAP issued a statement on April 5 in support of the ADVANCE study, which hopes to end discriminatory practices based on sexual identity and/or sexual orientation in donor risk assessments and deferral periods for blood donation. Originally, the FDA instituted such discriminatory criteria on the assumption that potential donors who are gay and bisexual men who have sex with men are at an increased risk of transmission of communicable diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus. If the results of the ADVANCE study prove this antiquated idea false, the FDA will hopefully amend the official guidance on donor eligibility for blood donation.
May 2022—Among the countless interruptions COVID-19 has inflicted on the medical community, one of the most obvious has been conversational. In the face of a global pandemic, other topics can seem unworthy of discussion. But as some post-pandemic normalcy creeps back in, so does the focus on topics of equal, if less dramatic, importance.
May 2022—Studies show promise for new approaches to biomarkers for myocarditis diagnosis, one of which is circulating microRNA mmu-miR-721. Another biomarker, sera soluble ST2 (sST2), which has been found to be clinically useful in predicting heart failure, could be added to existing biomarkers used to diagnose patients with myocarditis, interpreted according to sex and age. And serial high-sensitivity troponin measurements might be another approach to diagnosing and monitoring myocarditis.
May 2022—Myelodysplastic syndromes are often challenging to diagnose, and it’s the exceptions to the rules that make it so, said Phillipp W. Raess, MD, PhD, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, Oregon Health and Science University, speaking at CAP21.
May 2022—Opening and expanding schools—the path to a labor pool for labs. Compass Group members continue to move on that as they experiment with other solutions. “We’re exploring every avenue to bridge the staffing gap,” said Dhobie Wong of Sutter Health in a virtual roundtable with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle on April 5.
