Cytopathology in Focus: What breast cytology brings to rapid assessment clinics

May 2021—During the past several years, significant changes have occurred in the approach to the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with breast cancer. The scattered and fragmented breast health services have been replaced by patient-centered clinical breast units and rapid assessment breast clinics all over the world.Pioneered and implemented in European countries, rapid assessment breast clinics are designed to effectively assess symptomatic women with palpable breast lesions by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB).

Weeks of lab turmoil follow cyberattack

April 2021—After he finished interviewing for a fellowship one morning last October at the University of Vermont Medical Center, pathology resident William O. Humphrey, MD, checked in to attend grand rounds virtually. Then the cyberattack struck. It began mysteriously, with people dropping one by one off the Zoom screen and emails arriving only intermittently. Internet service grew patchy and a hospital staffer unmuted and canceled grand rounds, saying, “We aren’t really sure what’s going on.” From there, a cascade of failures indicated serious trouble. “All of a sudden we’re realizing we can’t sign into our EMR. We can’t get into our email either. My phone isn’t working on the Wi-Fi. Something is wrong,” recalls Dr. Humphrey, a member of the CAP Informatics Committee. That was the prelude to a siege in which fax machines and penmanship were unretired from obsolescence, paperlessness became a relic of the past, and words like “runners” and “bouncers” entered routine laboratory vocabulary.

Seeking stability in gene nomenclature

April 2021—Human first names are not necessarily known for being meaningful—or unique for that matter. When Shakespeare’s Juliet muses, “What’s in a name?” she’s observing that her lover’s name is more or less an arbitrary label without relevance to the essence of Romeo.

‘Know your panel’: Blood culture ID cautions

April 2021—The interpretive challenges of blood culture identification panels were the focus of an AMP2020 virtual presentation on false-positives and false-negatives and their sources and solutions.

Calm before spring storm? Compass on COVID

April 2021—Test volumes and positivity rates were down and vaccinations and interest in variants were up on March 2 when Compass Group laboratory leaders met with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle for another in a series of calls about SARS-CoV-2. Also in the discussion: antigen and serologic testing, school and sports team testing, and testing for travel.

From manual to staging system—AJCC’s new path

April 2021—In the continuum of cancer care, diagnostic specialties such as ours play critical roles. We touch virtually all aspects of cancer care through cancer diagnostics, the use of molecular studies in treatment and as predictive markers, and our key role in anatomic pathologic staging. The widespread use of the CAP cancer protocols has improved cancer reporting by standardizing format and terminology while also incorporating the concept of human factors engineering and standards for developing high-quality clinical practice guidelines.

Billing, business, win, lose: roundtable dives in

April 2021—A look at laboratories post-pandemic was at the heart of a revenue- and billing-focused roundtable led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle on Feb. 10. With McGonnagle were Mick Raich, Vachette Pathology; Bob Dowd, NovoPath; Kwami Edwards, Telcor; Kyle Fetter, Xifin; and Tom Scheanwald and Matt Zaborski, APS Medical Billing.

Looming unknowns with SARS-CoV-2 variants

March 2021—Listening to experts and others make predictions about the pandemic, it’s easy to think they’re obsessed with surfing: How will we deal with the next wave? The dangers are real. With SARS-CoV-2, the next wave might be swept in by emerging variants, with their uncertain but worrisome impact on transmission, severity of illness, treatments, and vaccine effectiveness.
