ARTICLES

For MammaPrint and BluePrint, the long-term view​

September 2021—The latest data on the use of two genomic assays in early-stage breast cancer and at the University of Rochester Medical Center as the pandemic set in were reported in a CAP TODAY webinar presented by William Audeh, MD, and David G. Hicks, MD. Dr. Audeh, medical oncologist and chief medical officer of Agendia, developer of MammaPrint and BluePrint, presented the long-term follow-up results of the MINDACT trial and an age-related analysis, as well as new data on MammaPrint’s use in endocrine therapy decisions.

AP lab maps its cyberattack recovery

August 2021—The downtime manual that the anatomic pathology laboratory at the University of Vermont Medical Center maintained in 2020 was never intended to be used for dealing with a cyberattack. In fact, it wasn’t actually a manual. It was a laboratory-wide policy essentially consisting of one instruction to be used in the event of a power failure or short-term IT disruption or other emergency: “Bring everything to a halt.” In anatomic pathology, “Our downtime protocol was: You stop in your tracks,” says dermatopathologist Anne M. Stowman, MD. “For the urgent/emergent specimens, you get out your paper logs, you do paper recording of the cases coming in, and you handwrite your cassettes, your descriptions, your slides.” That would be a bit slower and less efficient, but it would work for brief, temporary outages and disruptions. But the cyberattack that UVMMC experienced in October 2020, cutting off the labs’ access to the medical center’s information technology systems and disabling operations for more than three weeks, was an abrupt wake-up call.

CSF biomarkers in ‘a new era’ for Alzheimer’s

August 2021—The FDA’s approval in June of a new drug to treat Alzheimer’s disease has incited motley responses, a sort of Grand Tour of emotions and reactions. As with any stormy action, the aftermath becomes clear only over time, during the hard work of cleaning up. What comes next?

Lab staff shortage calls for speed, money, and more

August 2021—From critical to worse is how two Compass Group members described the lab labor shortage on July 6 when the group spoke with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle in another of their monthly virtual meetings. “Things imploded. We’re struggling in every area,” said one.

National patient identifier advocates state their case

August 2021—The iconic Timex slogan “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking” was designed to sell watches in the 1950s and ’60s, but it could just as easily be applied to efforts to repeal the decades-long appropriations ban on a unique national patient identifier—year, after year, after year.

PGx in transplant medicine: tacrolimus as foundation

August 2021—Pharmacogenetic testing is not standard of care at most transplant centers, nor do the FDA or others mandate it. But “transplant medicine is ripe for observing the benefits of pharmacogenetics,” said Gwendolyn A. McMillin, PhD, D(ABCC), in an AACC virtual session last year.

AMP case report: Celiac genetic health risk screening by NGS in the family of a child with clinical findings of dermatitis herpetiformis and gluten sensitivity

August 2021—Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an autoimmune skin disorder associated with celiac disease and characterized by pruritic, blistering lesions mainly on the elbows, knees, buttocks, lower back, and scalp. Immunopathogenesis is attributed to IgA TG3 antibody immune complexes in the papillary dermis originating from subclinical celiac disease in the gut. Onset occurs at any age, but DH is diagnosed most often in young adults and rarely in children. Individuals of northern European heritage represent the most frequently affected population for DH, with an estimated incidence reported by the National Organization for Rare Disorders of 75.3 per 100,000 people. First-degree family members of patients with DH are at increased risk for both DH and celiac disease.

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.
