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 Center, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.
Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

January 2020—Genentech announced positive data from the phase three IMpower110 study evaluating Tecentriq (atezolizumab) as a first-line monotherapy compared with cisplatin or carboplatin and pemetrexed or gemcitabine in advanced nonsquamous and squamous non-small cell lung cancer without ALK or EGFR mutations.
January 2020—DiaSorin Molecular has released a primer pair that targets Candida auris, for use in laboratory-developed molecular tests. Candida auris is often multidrug resistant and has caused recent outbreaks in hospitals and long-term care facilities across the U.S. and in more than 20 countries, the company reports. The primer pairs are classified as analyte-specific reagents, which can be used by high-complexity laboratories to develop their own LDTs. DiaSorin Molecular, 562-240-6500
January 2020—LGC Maine Standards released its Validate LP2 linearity and calibration verification kits for Roche Cobas analyzers. The kits evaluate apolipoprotein A (Apo-A1) and apolipoprotein B (Apo-B). Validate SP1 linearity and calibration verification kits, specifically targeted for Roche Cobas and Roche Cobas Integra analyzers, were also released. The kits evaluate α1-antitrypsin, complement C3, complement C4, immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, and transferrin. The Validate LP2 and SP1 kits are in a human serum matrix.
January 2020—Qiagen’s QuantiFeron-TB Gold Plus has been added to the diagnostic catalog of the Stop TB Partnership’s Global Drug Facility. The GDF provides quality-assured tuberculosis medicines, diagnostics, and laboratory supplies to the public sector.
January 2020—The FDA approved Descovy (emtricitabine 200 mg and tenofovir alafenamide 25 mg) in at-risk adults and adolescents weighing at least 35 kg (approximately 77 lbs.) for HIV-1 pre-exposure prophylaxis to reduce the risk of HIV-1 infection from sex, excluding those who have receptive vaginal sex. (Descovy is not indicated in individuals at risk of HIV-1 infection from receptive vaginal sex, the company reports, because the effectiveness in this population has not been evaluated.)
January 2020—ChromaCode has launched the HDPCR Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) Panel, a highly multiplexed real-time PCR assay. The panel detects nine of the most common causes of Gram-negative multidrug resistance and toxigenic Clostridium difficile in a 96-well format. Key features of the panel, the company reports, include seamless integration onto common qPCR instrumentation, scalable throughput, and streamlined data analysis, management, and test customization with ChromaCode Cloud software. The MDR panel is for research use only.
January 2020—The FDA has approved Myriad Genetics’ MyChoice CDx for use as a companion diagnostic to identify women with advanced ovarian cancer who are candidates for Zejula (niraparib) in the late-line treatment setting. The FDA also approved the expanded use of Zejula (GlaxoSmithKline) for the treatment of advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer patients who have been treated with three or more prior chemotherapy regimens and whose cancer is associated with homologous recombination deficiency.
January 2020—Oxford Gene Technology has developed the CytoSure NGS panel for the detection of loss of heterozygosity, mosaicism, copy number variants, single nucleotide variants, and indels. The solution features up-to-date content for intellectual disability and developmental delay, the targeted NGS panel, and Interpret software.
January 2020—Veracyte and NanoString have entered into an agreement in which Veracyte has obtained exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize diagnostic tests on NanoString’s nCounter Flex system.
January 2020—Microbiologics has launched rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis positive and negative control panels for quality control of MTB-RIF molecular assays and test methods. Features of the controls include separate positive and negative control products, positive control representing five common mutations to the rpoB gene associated with rifampicin resistance (L511P, H526Y, S531L, D516V, S522L), room-temperature storage, and inactivated microorganism pellets for in vitro diagnostic use.
