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.

November 2025—A study analyzed data from 6,068 individuals who received a commercial blood-based CRC screening test between May 2022 and September 2024. The study found that 49% of individuals with an abnormal result received a follow-up colonoscopy within six months, with a mean time of 66.4 days.
November 2025—A HER2-low–focused IHC scoring system was validated by nine breast pathologists using digitized images of HER2 IHC slides. The system demonstrated high performance metrics, including accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, across two data sets, validating its effectiveness.
November 2025—A study of four laboratories’ experiences with subclassifying variants of uncertain significance (VUS) found that variants were more likely to be reclassified as benign than pathogenic. The VUS-high subclass had the highest percentage of reclassifications, but represented a smaller proportion of total VUS classifications.

Q. Clinicians at my hospital doubt my prolactin results. They report patients with prominent pituitary adenomas who have normal prolactin results. There are other patients who have hyperprolactinemia but no adenoma or galactorrhea. In those patients, the prolactin concentrations remain elevated even after therapy. Can you clarify? Read answer.
Q. Is it necessary for a lab to report a corrected sodium level when the glucose level is really high? Studies show pseudohyponatremia can occur due to hyperglycemia. How common is this, and how do we decide which correction factor to use? Is it possible that this is easily overlooked by providers due to comorbidities in patients? Some references say there is a need to correct glucose for each 100 mg/dL increase above 400 mg/dL. Read answer.
November 2025—UpToDate, a widely used clinical decision support tool, is facing competition from OpenEvidence, an AI-powered tool that provides more accurate and context-specific answers to complex clinical cases. While UpToDate is adding its own AI capabilities, the optimal source of truth for AI-driven clinical decision support remains uncertain.
November 2025—The FDA cleared Roche’s Elecsys pTau181 test, a blood-based biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease assessment in patients 55 and older. The CAP requested an exception for physician J-1 visa holders, concerned the proposed four-year visa limit could hinder international medical graduates pursuing pathology careers. The Association for Molecular Pathology and CAP published a consensus recommendation for a simplified next-generation sequencing molecular biomarker report template.
