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.

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 2022—Infectious disease diagnosis sometimes requires a surgical pathologist, often in unexpected situations. In a CAP21 session, “Uncultured: Infectious Diseases in Surgical Pathology,” Sarah D. Hackman, MD, assistant professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Texas Health San Antonio, presented a sampling of such cases, two of which follow.
May 2022—Users of the CAP’s redesigned laboratory inspector training course, introduced last December, should find it to be more fun, less chore, and tailored to what they need to know, say those who developed the new course. And it’s open and accessible to all.
May 2022—Next-generation sequencing—the worries, the wins, and what’s new. That’s what came up when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle led an NGS-focused roundtable on March 14. With him were Jeremy Segal, MD, PhD, of the University of Chicago; Pierre Del Moral, PhD, MBA, and Fiona Nohilly of Illumina; Sohaib Qureshi, PhD, of Thermo Fisher Scientific; and Andy Johnson, DPhil, of Janssen. Here’s what they had to say.
May 2022—Substantial progress has been made during the past several years in diagnosing and treating various illnesses. Advances in genetic and genomic science; imaging and localization devices; the use of minimally invasive diagnostic sampling procedures; diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive testing; and personalized therapeutic options—all have changed the pattern of the practice of medicine and how patient care is provided.
May 2022—The ineffectiveness of the U.S. health care system is well documented. The United States consistently allocates more resources for health care compared with other industrialized countries, while not holding the top spots for desired outcomes. A significant percentage of Americans is underinsured or uninsured, and access to quality care is widely asymmetrical among different racial and ethnic groups. Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 highlighted these health inequities in which Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and immigrants were the populations to disproportionately experience disparities related to burden of disease and mortality.
May 2022—The number of minimally invasive fine-needle aspirations requiring rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in the cytopathology laboratory has increased over the past decade. Laboratories have seen lower gynecologic volumes and an increase in both nongynecologic fine-needle aspiration biopsy and touch imprint samples. ROSE for patient care has proven value. Sample adequacy allows for a single visit and avoids having to make multiple attempts to provide material sufficient for all required testing, including flow cytometry, microbiology, cell block preparation for immunohistochemical and histochemical staining, and molecular testing.
April 2022—Asked why he robs only trains, Richard Farnsworth’s Gentleman Bandit in The Grey Fox answers with a truth universally acknowledged: “A professional always specializes.” In line with that conviction, there’s little debate on the value of specialization in medicine—or, as it has evolved more recently, the extraordinary value of subspecialization in anatomic pathology. Many consider subspecialist signout to be the gold standard of review and diagnosis in pathology. Because they are dealing with a small number of pathologies, “the care that subspecialists can provide is phenomenal,” says L. Priya Kunju, MD, director of surgical pathology at University of Michigan Health. But in hospital practice at academic institutions like the University of Michigan, when it comes to time-sensitive frozen sections, subspecialization can have a downside. The need to return a diagnosis of a frozen section within 20 minutes while a surgery is in progress may require that an array of different subspecialists be close at hand, near the operating room.
April 2022—There are sudden crises like the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. And then there are the simmering crises that can be temporarily overshadowed but inevitably re-emerge to command notice. In New York and in many other states, the decades-long shortage of laboratory staff—especially medical technologists and histotechnologists—has gone from simmer to rolling boil.
April 2022—Drawing on five years of experience and laboratory feedback, a collaborative team has revised the microbiology IQCP templates and created the first template for the quality control of a commercial cartridge-based molecular test system.
April 2022—Staffing, supply chain, and significant supply price increases. Two continuing problems and one new. When Compass Group members met online March 1 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle, that trio of issues took center stage. Here’s what they had to say.
