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.

First looks and fast takes on LDT final rule

June 2024—The Food and Drug Administration’s final rule on laboratory-developed tests was released April 29 and published May 6. Shortly after, Compass Group laboratory leaders met online with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle, who asked for their early reactions to what they heard and read. Among the categories for which the FDA has indicated its intent to exercise partial enforcement discretion are LDTs manufactured and performed by a laboratory that is integrated within a health system and that meet an unmet medical need. Here, this month, is the conversation that took place in early May. Next month we will publish our story on the final rule and the views of others. The Compass Group is an organization of not-for-profit IDN system lab leaders who collaborate to identify and share best practices and strategies.

LGBT+ health: changes, challenges in cytopathology

June 2024—Screening in transgender men with cervices and in transgender women with neovaginas was the focus of a CAP23 session that highlighted screening recommendations and morphologic challenges such as detecting high-grade dysplasia in a background of atrophy (trans men) and dysplasia risks (trans women)—and EHR-related improvements for both.

Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease

June 2024—Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease, which is driven by a cytokine storm with an unknown cause, is a difficult diagnosis and one that’s often delayed, owing to the disease’s rarity and nonspecific symptoms. “Patients often bounce around for months, or even years, to different specialties, based on how they present, before they are diagnosed,” said Jadee Neff, MD, PhD, assistant professor of pathology, Duke University Medical Center, in a CAP TODAY webinar in February made possible by a special educational grant from Recordati Rare Diseases.

Climate of concern over fungal infections

May 2024—If anything keeps Arturo Casadevall, MD, PhD, lying awake at night, it’s the frogs. And the bats. Also, the patients (relatively few, at least for now) who are affected by invasive fungal diseases. Dr. Casadevall is a microbiologist and infectious diseases expert in the Johns Hopkins Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, and the Bloomberg School of Public Health, where he’s a professor of medicine and chairs the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. In his waking hours, he looks deeply and broadly at the natural world and how the disturbing growth of fungal infections might impact the medical world. Though the arrows haven’t hit the bull’s-eye, they seem to be flying in that direction, says Dr. Casadevall, who has written widely on this topic, including “Immunity to Invasive Fungal Diseases.” In a recent interview with CAP TODAY, Dr. Casadevall spoke about how he and others in the field are thinking about how medicine might respond to this potential threat.

Core lab efficiencies in monoclonal gammopathy testing

May 2024—Many laboratories have brought order to chaos in test ordering by launching initiatives to do so, for cost and staff savings and patient care benefits. TriCore is one—it set its sights on orders for monoclonal gammopathies.

Lupus anticoagulant—proficiency test and preanalytics

May 2024—What is a lupus anticoagulant (LA)? LA is somewhat of a misnomer. Many patients with this condition do not have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and usually do not bleed. However, the in vitro phenomenon was originally described in patients with SLE, as well as other autoimmune disorders—thus use of the term “lupus,” and this does often lead to prolonged in vitro coagulation testing—thus use of the term “anticoagulant.”

AI virtuosos reveal ins, outs, hopes, doubts

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.
