This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.
Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

March 2015—Histopathologic spectrum of thecoma of the ovary: a report of 70 cases: The authors evaluated 70 cases of thecoma of the ovary to ascertain their histopathologic spectrum. The tumors occurred over a wide age range (average, 49.6 years). Presentation in the form of pelvic or abdominal pain was uncommon, but postmenopausal bleeding was relatively frequent.
March 2015—CMS to alter reporting period for meaningful use: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has announced that it intends to engage in rulemaking to shorten the reporting period for stage two meaningful use attestation this year from 365 to 90 days under the EHR incentive programs.
March 2015—Generation of allergen-specific human IgEs as standards in diagnostic allergy testing: Diagnostic allergy testing for patients with moderate to severe allergies is usually performed by an allergy specialist and can include skin prick and patch tests or blood tests.
AMP outlines laboratory view on incidental findings: The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics’ controversial 2013 recommendations on the reporting of incidental findings on select genes was the first attempt to address the matter in the clinical setting. But the ACMG’s recommendations pose significant challenges that labs undertaking next-generation sequencing must be prepared to address, said a special report written by an Association for Molecular Pathology working group.
March 2015—From tracking charges in anatomic pathology and maintaining documentation to the changing classifications of some cancers, representatives of five companies tell CAP TODAY what their AP systems offer and what they’re working on to help labs.
February 2015—Two medical organizations said that using an HPV test alone for cervical cancer screening is an effective alternative to the current recommendation for screening with either cytology alone or cotesting with cytology and HPV testing. Pathology leaders said the multispecialty-developed guidance leaves the Pap test standing as a first-line screening option.
February 2015—Increasingly sophisticated laboratory-developed tests have populated the testing landscape rapidly in recent years, and the CAP has worked with government agencies and private stakeholders to address effective oversight. The Food and Drug Administration has issued draft guidance describing its thinking about that oversight.
February 2015—Melissa Jones, MT(ASCP), doesn’t mince words—not when it comes to MALDI-TOF MS. “It’s going to revolutionize the way you do microbiology in your laboratory, and you’re absolutely going to love it,” said Jones, who is a microbiology specialist for clinical microbiology and immunology at McLendon Clinical Laboratories at University of North Carolina Hospitals, Chapel Hill.
February 2015—Too many point-of-care glucose test results in the critical high and low ranges may be nonreproducible and therefore should be repeated. That was the finding of a study published last year that said POC glucose results in the critical ranges should be considered to have a relatively high probability of signaling a potential preanalytic error.
February 2015—Alteration of ARID1A gene, PI3K-Akt pathway, and ZNF217 gene in ovarian clear cell carcinoma: AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) is a subunit of switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) complex. Recently, alterations of the ARID1A gene, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) pathway, and zinc-finger protein 217 (ZNF217) gene have been identified as frequent molecular genetic changes in ovarian clear cell carcinoma.
