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.

August 2013—Recreational physical activity and leisure time relative to colorectal cancer survival; Dietary and supplemental calcium intake and cardiovascular disease death; Investigational vaccine for preventing S.aureus infections after cardiothoracic surgery
August 2013—Endometrium as a primary site of origin of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers; Criteria and pitfalls in diagnosis of lymphovascular invasion in prostatectomy specimens; An interobserver study of reproducibility in subtyping pulmonary adenocarcinomas; Value of PAX8, PAX2, claudin-4, and h-caldesmon in identifying peritoneal epithelioid mesotheliomas; Clinicopathologic study of cutaneous digital papillary adenocarcinoma;
August 2013—From pathologist to IT professional: a telling of five tales: Many people wear more than one hat in life, but rarely are they employed as both a hospital’s pathologist and information technology professional—consecutively or simultaneously. Only a select group has donned both chapeaux.
August 2013—What are considered best practices for tracking re-sult trending in the lab? We use hemoglobin running mean in our hematology department because it is built into the analyzer software. The chemistry department will have a difficult time applying moving averages without purchasing middleware.
July 2013—In his 25-year practice career, Texas obstetrician James Maher, MD, has performed several thousand amniocenteses, using a long needle to draw amniotic fluid from the uterus of higher-risk pregnant women to rule out certain fetal chromosomal abnormalities—trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, in particular.
July 2013—The CAP Residents Forum, a voice for pathology residents and an effective agent of change, will celebrate its 25th anniversary at CAP ’13. Forty-two residents attended the first CAP Residents Forum in October 1988. Last year, 218 delegates from 116 training programs came to the meeting, a remarkable fivefold increase.
July 2013—After weeks of bewilderment, W. Frank Peacock, MD, finally solved the mystery of one of his so-called frequent fliers in the Emergency Department.
July 2013—When it comes to fighting sepsis, the ingenuity of the laboratory is indispensable.
July 2013—The U.S. Supreme Court last month handed down a landmark decision on a narrow issue with broad implications for molecular medicine: Can genes be patented? In ruling that as products of nature, genes did not meet the criteria for patent eligibility, the Court brought its collective wisdom to bear on an issue that has troubled physicians, ethicists, and patients for nearly 20 years and hindered innovators in academia and industry. The Court declared invalid the patents on the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, patents that were at the heart of an intellectual property estate that enabled Myriad Genetics to create a commercial monopoly in BRCA testing.
July 2013—When it comes to laboratory test orders, the connection between bloodletting and financially draining an institution is more than metaphorical. But a wide range of techniques can help stem test overutilization, clinical laboratory experts have found; you don’t have to drive a stake through a vampire’s heart to stanch the flow.
