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

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 2/17

February 2017—Concordance between liquid biopsy and patient-matched tumor molecular testing: The use of sequence analyses of extended panels of genes to identify therapeutic targets in cancer is becoming commonplace. These assays typically rely on the availability of tissue biopsies as a source of genomic material, which can become a limitation in situations where insufficient tissue is available or an invasive procedure to collect tissue is impractical. A potential solution to this dilemma is the use of a blood-based, or liquid biopsy, approach, in which a peripheral blood sample is used as a source of tumor-derived genomic material, either in the form of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) or via circulating tumor cells (ctcDNA).

January 2017—Impact of laboratory cost display on resident attitudes and knowledge of costs: The Institute of Medicine report on health care quality recommends providing better care at lower costs. However, the United States has consistently seen rising health care costs instead of cost reductions. An approach to reducing unnecessary health care spending is to make physicians more aware of the cost of diagnostic tests.

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 12/16

December 2016—Reproducibility of NEPTUNE descriptor-based scoring system with various types of images: The multicenter Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network, or NEPTUNE, digital pathology scoring system uses a novel and comprehensive methodology to document pathologic features from whole-slide images, immunofluorescence, and ultrastructural digital images.

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 12/16

December 2016—ANXA1 as a predictive biomarker for resistance to trastuzumab in breast cancer: Treatment with the HER2-targeting antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a key component of therapy for women with HER2-positive breast cancer. However, a subset of women with advanced disease shows initial or acquired resistance to therapy, although the mechanisms that control this resistance are largely unknown. Some studies have suggested that activation of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway may be responsible for trastuzumab resistance.

December 2016—Process optimization to improve immunosuppressant drug testing turnaround time: The routine use of immunosuppressant medications is critical for patients receiving solid organ transplants. Monitoring immunosuppressant (ISP) drug concentrations helps guide safe and effective dosing. ISP drug monitoring is performed using mass spectrometry or immunoassay methods.
