May 2024—Laboratory-developed testing as it relates to next-generation sequencing was up first in the NGS conversation led online by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle on March 19. Other topics: in-house NGS testing, artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics. “There’s a reality now where bioinformatics is solid, stable, and reliable,” said José Luis Costa, PhD, of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
April 2024—As the call for fast turnaround of genetic testing results in tumor profiling grows louder, the need for rapid, reliable test methods becomes more pressing. Meanwhile, with new genetic biomarkers emerging at a rapid pace, “everything has tipped the balance toward comprehensive next-generation sequencing analysis,” said Maria E. Arcila, MD, attending pathologist, molecular diagnostics and hematopathology services, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. In the midst of this complexity, “the ability to provide rapid and simple results is lagging behind,” said Dr. Arcila, in addressing rapid molecular testing in solid tumors at the Association for Molecular Pathology meeting last year.
April 2024—Too few people, too much to do. In that, Duke Health’s molecular diagnostics laboratory is no different from any other laboratory. But competing for staff on the basis of money alone is out. “The reality is that in today’s labor market, any molecular technologist can always find a job that pays more,” says Barbara Anderson, PhD, MB(ASCP)CM, analytical specialist in Duke’s molecular diagnostics laboratory, Division of Molecular Pathology, Genetics, and Genomics.
April 2024—Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) is a newly recognized, distinctive subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This low-grade lymphoma predominantly presents as papules or nodules within the skin of middle-aged adults. Formerly grouped under the extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) category, the World Health Organization’s fifth edition classification of hematolymphoid tumors now recognizes PCMZL as a distinct entity.
March 2024—From a technologist workforce perspective, clinical genomics laboratories are in trouble. “It’s truly a crisis,” said Marco Leung, PhD, clinical director of the Steve and Cindy Rasmussen Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
March 2024—CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. AMP members write the reports using clinical cases from their own practices that show molecular testing’s important role in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. This month’s report comes from Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan. Case. An 87-year-old male with a clinical history of hypertension and sick sinus syndrome presented with a one-month history of fever, generalized weakness, and weight loss. There was no lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly on physical examination. Bone marrow examination was performed to evaluate for cytopenias.
January 2024—Sometimes even superb ideas can also turn out to be quite, well, bothersome. Zoom meetings. Bridal showers. Bike lanes. Parking apps. QR menu codes. And—if laboratories aren’t careful—the same can be true of pharmacogenomic testing. Just ask Ann Moyer, MD, PhD, associate professor, laboratory medicine and pathology, Mayo Clinic. When it comes to pharmacogenomic testing, laboratory medicine brings significant expertise to the table. But in clinical settings, physicians who prescribe the medications need to be familiar with how to use the test results. They also need to work with the lab to decide which tests, for which genes or gene-drug pairs, will be most helpful for their patients, she says. “Especially if you’re going to start incorporating clinical support alerts into the EHR,” adds Dr. Moyer, who was chair of (until Dec. 31; she is now advisor to) the CAP/ACMG Biochemical and Molecular Genetics Committee. “If the practice doesn’t actually want them, then you’re just going to end up annoying them.”
December 2023—For most, laboratory staffing woes continue, despite some letup post-pandemic. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle on Nov. 7 got a sampling of where staffing stands as the year end approaches, in his conversation online with members of the Compass Group, an organization of not-for-profit IDN system lab leaders who collaborate to identify and share best practices and strategies. But first a few words from them about the Food and Drug Administration’s proposed rule on laboratory-developed tests.
