This session explores the evolving role of RAS in precision oncology, from the biology of RAS mutations to the expanding landscape of targeted therapies. Through expert presentations, real-world case discussions, and interactive audience polling, participants will examine best practices for RAS biomarker testing across solid tumors, including lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. The session will highlight practical considerations for tissue and liquid biopsy, strategies to address testing gaps, and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure timely identification of patients who may benefit from RAS-targeted therapies.

Webinar presenters David Braxton, MD, Chief of Molecular Pathology Services, Hoag Family Cancer Institute & Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, and Carlos Becerra, MD, Research Director for Medical Oncology, Margaret Given Larkin Endowed Chair for Developmental Cancer Therapeutics, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.

Abstracts

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

February 2023—Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is the most common cause of intracranial hemorrhage in term infants with thrombocytopenia. It often presents as severe thrombocytopenia in the newborn or a spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage in a fetus in an uncomplicated pregnancy. Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is caused by maternal antibodies against paternal platelet antigens, which cross the placenta and destroy fetal platelets. Studies have shown that FNAIT is underdiagnosed in pregnancies. However, primigravida screening for FNAIT is not performed in the United States.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

February 2023—Atypical mitosis is considered a feature of malignancy, but its significance in breast cancer remains elusive. The authors conducted a study to assess the clinical value of atypical mitoses in breast cancer and explore their underlying molecular features. They quantified and correlated atypical and typical mitotic figures with clinicopathological variables in a large cohort of primary breast cancer tissue sections (n=846) using digitalized H&E whole slide images. They also used RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) breast cancer data set (n=1,032) to link atypical mitoses to the underlying genetic alterations and pathways.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

February 2023—Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems and is most prevalent in women of Asian, Hispanic, and African ancestries. People with the heterogeneous disease experience major organ damage, which primarily affects the kidneys, skin, heart, and joints. Transcriptomic studies of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have implicated increased type 1 interferon signaling, dysregulated lymphocyte activation, and failure of apoptotic clearance as hallmarks of the disease. Many genes are near the approximately 100 loci associated with SLE. Despite the use of flow cytometry and transcriptome profiling to characterize the role of circulating immune cells in SLE, there is not a complete census of circulating immune cells in the disease, and characterizing the genetic associations has been challenging.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

January 2023—Borrelia burgdorferi is the leading cause of Lyme disease in the United States, with approximately 35,000 new cases reported to the CDC each year. The agency recommends a two-tiered approach to testing.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

January 2023—Radioembolization therapy uses yttrium-90-impregnated resin or glass microspheres to selectively target hepatic lesions via transarterial radioembolization. Occasional cases of gastrointestinal (GI) tract injury secondary to nontargeted delivery of microspheres have been reported, but large descriptive pathology series are lacking.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

January 2023—An international group of scientists and clinicians identified the molecular cause of a rare neurodevelopmental syndrome affecting children worldwide. This discovery was made possible through such publicly available online databases as MyGene2, GeneMatcher, and Matchmaker Exchange, which match genotypic profiles with phenotypic profiles of rare diseases.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

December 2022—Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic drug that improves survival in adults with traumatic hemorrhage. To the authors’ knowledge, it has not been evaluated in a trial of injured children.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

December 2022—Prostatic duct adenocarcinoma, which is characterized by pseudostratified columnar epithelium, has historically been considered invasive carcinoma, although it may have an intraductal component.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

December 2022—Infantile-onset epilepsy has a variety of underlying etiologies, including brain injury, metabolic disorders, and genetic factors. Refractory epileptic conditions in infants can result in developmental delays, poor quality of life, and increased mortality rates.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

November 2022—Exposure to lead may cause severe illness in children, including neurological damage, organ failure, and even death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other agencies recommend routine testing for blood lead levels (BLL) as part of a well-child examination to identify elevated levels and, subsequently, eliminate exposure to lead and initiate therapeutic interventions.
