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

August 2014—Anti-D alloimmunization after D-incompatible platelet transfusions: Because a small but immunogenic dose of red blood cells may be contained in apheresis platelets, transfusion services establish protocols to provide D– recipients with D– platelets to prevent anti-D alloimmunization. This is of particular concern for young females as there is potential for hemolytic disease of the newborn. In cases where D+ platelets are given to D– recipients, Rh immune globulin (RhIG) may be used to help prevent sensitization. The authors retrospectively analyzed during a 14-year period the anti-D formation in D– recipients who received D+ platelets without the use of RhIG.

July 2014—Is there a role for molecular diagnostics in bladder cancer? Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men in the United States and is associated with high rates of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. Multiple subtypes of bladder cancer have been identified, the most common of which is urothelial cancer.

July 2014—Effects of fish oil in recent-onset rheumatoid arthritis: a patient study: The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaneonic acid (DHA), which are found in fish oil, can suppress synthesis of the omega-6 proinflammatory eicosanoids prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4. The effects of fish oil as a dietary supplement in rheumatoid arthritis have been studied in randomized, controlled trials for patient-assessed pain, morning stiffness, number of painful or tender joints, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug consumption.

July 2014—Assessing IHC biomarkers for basal-like breast cancer against a gene-expression profile gold standard: Gene-expression profiling of breast cancer delineates a particularly aggressive subtype referred to as basal-like. This subtype comprises approximately 15 percent of all breast cancers and afflicts younger women. It is refractory to endocrine and anti-HER2 therapies.

June 2014—Utility of triple antibody cocktail intraurothelial neoplasm-3 and AMACR in urothelial CIS and reactive urothelial atypia: Urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a prognostically and therapeutically significant lesion with considerable morphologic overlap with reactive conditions, especially in the setting of prior therapy. Various markers, including CK20, CD44s, and p53, have been used as an adjunct in making this distinction.

June 2014—How a single patient influenced HIV research: 15-year followup: The hope of a cure for human immunodeficiency virus infection is raised by recent reports of people in whom viral replication spontaneously reduced despite the absence of antiretroviral treatment (ART). A “Berlin patient” described in 1999 was immediately treated with ART and hydroxyurea after an acute HIV infection but chose to discontinue treatment.

May 2014—Real-time clinical decision support systems for platelet and cryoprecipitate orders: Platelet and cryoprecipitate transfusions are often used to treat patients who are bleeding. However, many clinicians use non-evidence–based approaches to ordering and transfusing these products. Cost and such adverse effects as transfusion-transmitted diseases and transfusion reactions make it desirable to reduce the unnecessary transfusion of these products.

May 2014—Impact of operator techniques and specimen-preparation checklist on bone marrow assessment: Successful bone marrow assessment is essential to the diagnosis and staging of hematologic malignancies. The authors conducted a study to determine whether specific operator techniques or use of a specimen-preparation checklist, or both, could impact the quality of bone marrow assessment by reducing the frequency of obtaining nonspicular aspirates, small cores, and nondiagnostic samples.

April 2014—Intervention to improve timing of vancomycin levels: Samples drawn for therapeutic drug monitoring are sometimes drawn too early, which can cause inaccurate results that lead to a potential dosing error. One approach to reducing such errors is to create an information technology tool to assist clinicians in determining the best timing for a sample draw. The authors conducted a study at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, in which the investigators used both an educational and electronic intervention to reduce the number of vancomycin collection timing errors. The information technology-based intervention provided educational instructions to nurses.

April 2014—Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma: diagnosis and immunohistochemical profile: Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma is a recently recognized renal neoplasm composed of cells with clear cytoplasm lining cystic, tubular, and papillary structures. These tumors have immunohistochemical and genetic profiles distinct from clear cell renal cell carcinoma and papillary renal cell carcinoma. The authors studied morphologic and immunohistochemical features (cytokeratin 7 [CK7], carbonic anhydrase IX [CAIX], CD10, alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase [AMACR], smooth muscle actin, desmin, and estrogen and progesterone receptors) in 55 tumors from 34 patients, eight of whom had end-stage renal disease.
