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

March 2024—Randox has released its female bladder cancer array, designed to help clinicians stratify patients presenting with hematuria. The array detects interleukin-12p70, interleukin-13, midkine, and clusterin from a single urine sample to determine an individual’s biomarker risk score. A person’s risk for developing bladder cancer is determined by combining the biomarker risk score with clinical risk scores generated using the company’s algorithms.
March 2024—Bruker Corp. has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement to acquire EliTechGroup for €870 million (about $940 million) in cash, excluding EliTech’s clinical chemistry business. Bruker expects to close the transaction in the second quarter of this year.
March 2024—Binx Health announced it has entered into a national distribution agreement with Cardinal Health to expand access to care with its CLIA-waived, FDA-cleared Binx IO. The molecular point-of-care platform is used to detect chlamydia and gonorrhea in male and female patient samples and provides results in about 30 minutes.
March 2024—Roche has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire select parts of the LumiraDx group related to LumiraDx’s point-of-care technology. The transaction is expected to close by the middle of this year, after which the acquired entities will be fully integrated into Roche Diagnostics.
March 2024—Immunexpress announced FDA clearance of EDTA blood compatible cartridges for use with the SeptiCyte Rapid test. SeptiCyte Rapid is a sample-to-answer, cartridge-based, host response molecular test for sepsis using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to quantify the relative expression levels of host response genes isolated from whole blood. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use and runs on the Biocartis Idylla platform.
March 2024—Cepheid announced it has received FDA clearance with a CLIA waiver for the Xpert Xpress MVP, a multiplex vaginal panel that can now be performed in near-patient settings. The test is intended to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis from a single specimen. It runs on Cepheid’s GeneXpert Xpress instruments and provides results within an hour.
March 2024—OGT announced the opening of state-of-the-art facilities in Oxford Technology Park in the U.K. The facilities will drive development of OGT’s SureSeq next-generation sequencing product portfolio, as well as deliver expert-led training and opportunities for collaboration. Customers can receive face-to-face support with OGT’s field application specialists at the new facility and in-depth demonstrations of the company’s NGS and FISH products.
March 2024—Qiagen Digital Insights announced its enhanced CLC Genomics Workbench Premium with LightSpeed technology now supports next-generation sequencing for somatic cancer secondary analysis. The software accelerator converts raw sequencing data in FASTQ files to interpretable lists of genetic variants in variant call format files. Qiagen says LightSpeed can analyze a 275-gene comprehensive cancer panel at 3377× coverage in six minutes for less than $0.72 per test within standard cloud environments, or laboratories can run the Qiagen CLC LightSpeed technology on existing local hardware with similar performance.
March 2024—Copan Diagnostics announced the third FDA 510(k) clearance for its Colibrí automated ID/AST preparation instrument. The in vitro diagnostic specimen preparation system has been cleared to prepare MALDI-TOF targets for qualitative identification and microbial suspension for the Beckman Coulter MicroScan WalkAway antimicrobial susceptibility testing system for qualitative testing of isolated colonies of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial species grown on solid culture media.
March 2024—Like identifying the shift in battle that leads to victory, or the battle that wins the war—let alone declaring a war’s ultimate victor—it’s hard to gauge the whens, ifs, and hows that mark progress in medicine. For those who are deeply rooted in bringing advances to testing in urothelial cancers, current research is flourishing and flummoxing. In early and late stage, both for bladder and upper tract disease, recently approved therapies are leading to better outcomes for patients. More immunotherapies and antibody-drug conjugates are on their way, and with them come new options for testing. But as with any cancer, researchers follow numerous promising paths, knowing that some will dead-end and others will succeed primarily (albeit usefully) in raising more questions. Nevertheless, they continue to rally the work forward, with multiple breaches, and Agincourt, ever in sight. For experts such as David McConkey, PhD, progress will best be measured by how regularly precision makes its way into the clinical setting.
