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.

October 2024—Instrument assessments for cyber safety are in need of a fast track—or another solution to the delays they’re creating, say some Compass Group laboratory leaders. They met online on Sept. 3 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle, with whom they also talked about mergers and acquisitions and Epic Beaker transitions.
June 2024—Since ChatGPT sprang on the scene a year and a half ago, debate and concern about the OpenAI chatbot and how closely it can replicate human abilities have been widespread, as have thoughts on how to translate AI-based applications into clinical practice.
Four views of artificial intelligence in pathology and laboratory medicine. That’s what panelists provided for attendees at the 7th Clinical Lab 2.0 workshop in late February in Chicago. The University of Michigan’s Ulysses G. J. Balis, MD, spoke of AI’s use in laboratory operations and diagnostics. Tom Neufelder of Beckman Coulter spotlighted its use in instruments and postanalytically. Gaurav Sharma, MD, of Henry Ford Health is the skeptic, and the University of Pittsburgh’s Michael Becich, MD, PhD, is the rabid enthusiast who is working to unite pathology’s reports and calls himself a data plumber.
April 2024—The Food and Drug Administration in February cleared Proscia’s Concentriq AP-Dx digital pathology software for the purpose of primary diagnosis. Shortly after, Proscia cofounder and CEO David West spoke with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle about achieving new efficiencies, elevating pathology, the heterogeneous nature of the pathology community, and being able to learn from digital pathology’s early adopters. “Laboratories and pathologists going digital don’t have to be first anymore,” West said.
March 2024—Anatomic and clinical pathology reporting—what’s working, what’s missing. Three pathologists (all board certified in informatics) and representatives of three information system companies met online Dec. 19 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle to talk about reporting needs and what’s optimal. The first half of their discussion was published in the February issue, with CAP TODAY’s guide to anatomic pathology computer systems. The second half begins here.
February 2024—Anatomic and clinical pathology reporting—what’s working, what’s missing. Three pathologists (all board certified in informatics) and representatives of three information system companies met online Dec. 19 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle to talk about reporting needs, the changes, what’s optimal. The first half of their discussion begins here; the second half will be published in the March issue.
Generative artificial intelligence—what it is, how it can be used in pathology, what stands in its way, why the excitement. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke about that and more with pathologists Bobbi Pritt, MD, MSc, and Scott Anderson, MD; Ajit Singh, PhD, of Stanford and Artiman Ventures; and Devon Snedden, a health care consultant in artificial intelligence. “There are a lot of excellent possibilities that we’re just starting to understand and explore for the field of pathology,” said Dr. Pritt of Mayo Clinic.
Is digital pathology on the move? Two who know it well say it is. Esther Abels, a precision medicine and biomedical regulatory health science expert who is CEO of SolarisRTC and former president of the Digital Pathology Association, and Michael Rivers, vice president/lifecycle leader of digital pathology at Roche Tissue Diagnostics, spoke in September with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle, who got their take on where things stand.
November 2023—Reports—integrated or otherwise—were up for discussion when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle convened online in October a group of informatics experts, who spoke of the need for simplicity in a time of growing complexity, ease of access, where Epic isn’t strong. The full conversation follows.
November 2022—What labs want and need from their lab information systems and what the missing pieces are in interoperability are what pathologists and LIS company reps talked to CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle about when they met online Sept. 12. “The biggest challenge is with device integration” in molecular testing, said J. Mark Tuthill, MD, of Henry Ford Health System. “We have million-dollar instruments and we’re still programming runs manually. We don’t have HL7 order feeds. We don’t have the ability to get result feeds outbound from those devices.”
