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.

February 2019—Evaluation of mutational processes and somatic driver mutations in cancer exomes: As next-generation sequencing-based tumor profiling gains popularity, multiple informative variables other than single-gene alterations will continue to be added to clinical reports.
January 2019—RH genotype matching for transfusion support in sickle cell disease: In patients with sickle cell disease, Rh alloimmunization remains a challenge, despite the transfusion of serologic Rh C, E, and K antigen-matched red cells.
January 2019—Distinguishing patients with double somatic mismatch-repair mutations from those with Lynch syndrome: Lynch syndrome is the most common form of hereditary colon cancer. Germline mutations in the mismatch-repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2 (EPCAM), MSH6, and PMS2, followed by a second hit to the remaining allele, lead to cancer development.

Development of brain circuits after gene therapy for Parkinson’s disease Parkinson’s disease is caused by a loss of dopamine-producing nerves in the specialized substantia
December 2018—Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer-associated mortality among men worldwide. The use of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to screen for prostate cancer is intended to detect the cancer at an early stage to reduce overall and disease-specific mortality. However, evidence that PSA screening for prostate cancer saves lives is somewhat lacking.
December 2018—Applying deep convolutional neural networks to diagnostic breast biopsies: The breast stromal microenvironment is a pivotal factor in breast cancer development, growth, and metastases. Although pathologists often detect morphologic changes in stroma by light microscopy, visual classification of such changes is subjective and nonquantitative, limiting its diagnostic utility.
December 2018—Profiling of chromatin-accessibility landscape of primary cancers: The chromatin-accessibility profiles generated in this study by The Cancer Genome Atlas represent the largest pan-cancer effort to characterize the regulatory landscape of human cancers. The study primarily used an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq).
Preparing for passage of regulatory requirements for laboratory-developed tests: November 2018—The FDA has raised concerns, in recent years, about several high-risk laboratory-developed tests (LDTs), including a concern that patients may undergo unnecessary treatment or delay or forego treatment due to the inaccuracy of such tests. Other agencies have also challenged the validity, accuracy, oversight, and safety of LDTs, a subset of IVDs that are intended for clinical use and designed, manufactured, and used within a single laboratory.
November 2018—HER2: a pan-cancer event highly enriched in AR-driven breast tumors: Approximately one in five breast cancers is driven by amplification and overexpression of the HER2 receptor kinase, and HER2 enriched is one of four major transcriptional subtypes of breast cancer. The authors conducted a study to understand the genomics of HER2 amplification independent of subtype, as well as the underlying drivers and biology of HER2-enriched (HER2E) tumors.
November 2018—Common genetic variants contribute to risk of rare severe neurodevelopmental disorders: The traditional paradigm broadly classifies genetic diseases into rare disorders caused by a single gene variant and common disorders caused by complex interplay among multiple genes. However, recent research has shown that penetrance and disease phenotype, even in disorders thought to be monogenic, are affected by common genetic variation.
