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.

Cytopathology in focus: Reflections on use of Milan System, edition 1: Areas to be explored for edition 2

August 2021—Salivary gland neoplasms (SGN) are a special group of tumors due to the high variation in histologic subtypes that are further complicated by frequent overlapping morphological features. Fine-needle aspiration is a safe, cost-effective, first-line modality for diagnosing SGNs, an integral part of SGN preoperational workup. In 2018, Faquin and Rossi led the effort to standardize the reporting system of salivary gland lesions. Their final product, Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC), has had a huge impact on salivary gland FNA practice in the United States and worldwide.

Cytopathology in focus: At the center of AI implementation in cytopathology

August 2021—Recent advances in the deep learning area of artificial intelligence offer tantalizing opportunities to improve cytology practice. However, aside from the commercially available options for automated screening in gynecologic cytology, systems with applications in cytology have largely been used in research settings only. The article by authors McAlpine and Michelow reviews the approach to developing and validating artificial intelligence algorithms in cytology, from the generation of appropriate cytology data sets to clinical validation of the model.

Coag issues occupy COVID’s central stage

July 2021—The pandemic’s reach has often been portrayed in shades of red, signaling surging COVID-19 cases across states and countries. Vaccination maps, on the other hand, tend to render progress in more soothing tones, typically in the green family. But in coagulation laboratories, one small portent is colored blue—specifically, blue-top sodium citrate tubes. In recent months, laboratories began voicing concerns about tightening supplies. They’ve spoken with their vendors; some have reached out to new ones. And though no one wants to think about limiting testing if supplies truly become scarce, it wouldn’t be the first time labs have had to steer through these waters. The tubes are a functional symbol of the continued complexities of COVID-19-related coagulopathy, as physicians try to understand and respond to the pathophysiology of infection that leads to a thrombotic event. As the pandemic has churned on, much has started coming into sharper focus. Prepublication persists, but physicians have begun to sort through the past 18 months and, as many have put it, to “do the science.”

Analytics reframes decisions from bench to C-suite

July 2021—From takeout margaritas to the embrace of remote work, the pandemic upended convention, leaving behind permanent changes that were nowhere on the radar in 2019. In the world of pathology informatics, the new online COVID-19 data dashboards at the Cleveland Clinic illustrate how much the pandemic has raised the profile of data analytics in managing the laboratory.

A few years in, a new picture for liquid biopsy​

July 2021—Liquid biopsy has entered a more confident era, with two FDA-approved next-generation sequencing assays for comprehensive tumor mutation profiling, evidence of its clinical utility, and broadened patient access.

Variants, vaccine efficacy, and the tests labs need

July 2021—For SARS-CoV-2, there has to be a plan to sequence locally and collaborate globally, and public health must recognize that hospital-based laboratories have a part to play, says Glen Hansen, PhD, D(ABMM), medical director of microbiology and molecular diagnostics at Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis.

Lab leaders on growth, labor, and cybersecurity

July 2021—Revenue and growth, cybersecurity, and labor and wage pressures were on minds June 1 when Compass Group members met virtually with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. But perhaps no problem felt heavier than the labor shortage.

Testing for platelet function using platelet-rich plasma

July 2021—Identifying severe disorders of primary hemostasis is relatively straightforward for most coagulation laboratories, but the more prevalent disorders with less severe bleeding and less overt diagnostic abnormalities are trickier, and platelet function testing using platelet-rich plasma remains the gold standard. Geoffrey Wool, MD, PhD, in an AACC virtual session last year, presented some of his laboratory’s cases to illustrate the use of light transmission aggregometry and a modification called lumi-aggregation.
