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

April 2024—Verichem Laboratories offers a multilevel set of clinical reference materials intended for the calibration verification of clinical systems testing for total protein and albumin in urine and cerebrospinal fluid samples. The liquid-stable and ready-to-use materials are suitable for use with turbidimetric and colorimetric test methods and incorporate human protein components.
April 2024—Sebia announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its free light chain kappa and lambda assays, intended to aid in diagnosing and monitoring patients who have multiple myeloma and immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis. The assays quantify kappa or lambda free light chains in human serum using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure. The kits are for in vitro diagnostic use only.
April 2024—StatLab Medical Products announced the acquisition of Poly Scientific R&D, a manufacturer and supplier of pathology stains, reagents, and paraffin for anatomic pathology laboratories. The acquisition includes Histology Control Systems, a division of Poly Scientific that manufactures and supplies tissue control slides.
April 2024—Siemens Healthineers now offers the Anti-Müllerian Hormone assay to evaluate ovarian reserve. The assay runs on the Atellica IM analyzer and Advia Centaur immunoassay systems from serum and plasma samples. Results are available in about 28 minutes.
April 2024—BioMérieux has received FDA 510(k) clearance and CLIA waiver approval for the BioFire SpotFire Respiratory/Sore Throat (R/ST) panel. The multiplex PCR test is for the detection and identification of nucleic acids from up to 15 of the most common bacteria, viruses, and viral subtypes responsible for respiratory or sore throat infections. Samples can be taken from a nasopharyngeal swab when a respiratory tract infection is suspected or from a throat swab in case of a pharyngitis syndrome. Results are available in about 15 minutes on the BioFire SpotFire system.
April 2024—Sekisui Diagnostics has received emergency use authorization for its Osom Flu SARS-CoV-2 Combo test for use in professional and home testing settings. The lateral flow immunochromatographic assay is intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and B nucleoprotein antigens and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen. The test is for in vitro diagnostic use.
April 2024—Recordati Rare Diseases has introduced its new educational website, thinkimcd.us. The platform is tailored for pathologists, offering comprehensive support for the diagnostic process of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD). The site provides an overview of iMCD diagnostic criteria, practical steps for assessing lymph node biopsies, and links to additional resources for understanding CD/iMCD. Designed to enhance professional awareness and comprehension, thinkimcd.us aims to be a valuable tool for the medical community.
April 2024—When Tip O’Neill, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said many years ago that all politics is local, he was talking about how elections, legislation, and all of politics affect people where they live. I believe the concept applies just as much to pathology advocacy. When it comes to the issues we care about for our profession and for our patients, our efforts in advocacy, lobbying, educating, and persuading all need to happen at the local level just as much as at the national level.
April 2024—Neonatal anemia is a common comorbidity of premature infants and may result from certain obstetric conditions or diseases, or, in the case of iatrogenic anemia, from multiple phlebotomies in the first days of life. Once infants enter the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), they undergo a series of laboratory tests at baseline and then as needed for treatment or monitoring. These tests commonly include blood cultures, CBCs, coagulation profiles, metabolic screens, blood gases, blood glucose, and chemistry profiles. Phlebotomy-associated blood loss is more clinically relevant in lower birth-weight neonates since they have lower total circulating blood volumes. When blood is drawn from an indwelling umbilical catheter, even more blood is removed due to the need to flush residual intravenous fluid from the line.
April 2024—Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma is a rare and distinct subtype of renal cancer caused by FH gene mutations. FH negativity and s-2-succinocysteine (2SC) positivity on IHC can be used to screen for FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but their sensitivity and specificity are imperfect. The expression of AKR1B10, an aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes cofactor-dependent oxidation-reduction reactions, in RCC is unclear. The authors compared AKR1B10, 2SC, and FH as diagnostic biomarkers for FH-deficient RCC. They included genetically confirmed FH-deficient RCCs (n=58), genetically confirmed TFE3 translocation RCCs (TFE3-tRCC; n=83), clear cell RCCs (n=188), chromophobe RCCs (n=128), and papillary RCCs (pRCC; n=97).
