Pathology
In anatomic pathology labs, a balancing act
August 2023—Anatomic pathology laboratories—the pressures, the promise of technology to alleviate them, and the seemingly unprecedented rates of change. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle gathered pathologists and company representatives online on June 21 to talk about it all. From pathologist coverage to IT, from tumor boards to questions job candidates in pathology should ask, here’s what they told us.
Cytomegalovirus in IBD: where to biopsy, whom to treat
July 2023—Though it’s been suggested that newer drugs have made cytomegalovirus less relevant in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, CMV remains an important opportunistic infection in patients with IBD. Knowing where to biopsy and how many are needed is one of the histologic challenges, said Joseph Misdraji, MD, associate professor of pathology, Yale School of Medicine, in a CAP22 session.
Lab leaders on moving markets and tipping points
July 2023—Digital pathology, the pathology workforce, and the clinical demand for subspecialty expertise were some of what Compass Group lab leaders took on in their June 6 conversation, with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle leading the way.
ABPath’s plans for transparency, competency pilot
June 2023—Three initiatives are underway at the American Board of Pathology, one of which its CEO Gary Procop, MD, MS, describes as “a new era of transparency and collaboration.”
Appendiceal lesions: features, subtypes, patterns
June 2023—Although goblet cell adenocarcinoma can label for neuroendocrine markers, it behaves as an adenocarcinoma and is staged as such. And it’s important to distinguish goblet cell adenocarcinoma from tubular neuroendocrine tumor, a rare subtype of neuroendocrine tumor.
Appendiceal lesion cases, clues, and cautions
May 2023—How to distinguish appendiceal diverticular disease and appendiceal polyps from mucinous neoplasms was just part of a CAP22 course on appendiceal lesions, led by Maryam Pezhouh, MD, MSc, of the University of California, San Diego, and Jacqueline Birkness-Gartman, MD, of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Ancillary tests in gynecologic pathology—what and why
April 2023—With serous ovarian carcinomas and other gynecologic tumors, it’s molecular testing that increasingly sets the treatment course. “As pathologists, it’s exciting to us,” said Sadia Sayeed, MD, speaking at CAP22. “We’re learning that the immunostains we’re interpreting have greater implications than we ever thought they could.”
In billing, No Surprises and other complexities
April 2023—Another administrative layer and “up in the air” is how lab billing experts describe what the No Surprises Act requires of laboratories and where things stand. When they met online March 3 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle, they talked about this and digital pathology and the problems of no or slow payments. “Compared with five years ago, the number of denials has increased and turnaround time on full payment on a claim has lengthened significantly,” said Tom Scheanwald of APS Medical Billing.
Spotlight on ancillary tests in endometrial cancer
March 2023—With endometrial carcinomas and other gynecologic tumors, molecular testing matters, and not only at the diagnostic stage. “We’re rapidly evolving,” said Leslie M. Randall, MD, MAS, division director of gynecologic oncology, Virginia Commonwealth University Health, speaking at CAP22.
