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

Tuesday, June 9, 2026, 1:00–2:00 PM ET
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

Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 8/17

August 2017—Analysis of microglandular adenosis and acinic cell carcinoma of the breast: Acinic cell carcinoma is an indolent form of invasive breast cancer, whereas microglandular adenosis has been shown to be a neoplastic proliferation. Both entities display a triple-negative phenotype and may give rise to, as well as display, somatic genomic alterations typical of high-grade triple-negative breast cancers. The authors compared previously published data on eight carcinoma-associated microglandular adenoses and eight acinic cell carcinomas subjected to massively parallel sequencing targeting all exons of 236 genes recurrently mutated in breast cancer or DNA repair related, or both.

Clinical Pathology Abstracts, 8/17

August 2017—Etiology and clinical presentation of birth defects: a population-based study: Birth defects are inborn errors of development and include any structural or functional anomaly that impacts physical, intellectual, or social well-being. They are a considerable and growing clinical and public health challenge. Major birth defects are common and costly. Collectively, they are estimated to occur in one in 33 births, which translates into approximately 7.9 million babies affected worldwide. In the United States alone, the cost of care during a single year (2004) was estimated to be $2.6 billion.

Q&A column, 8/17

August 2017—Due to an ever-changing workforce, many new and inexperienced technologists are working in the microbiology lab and appear to be having difficulty interpreting cultures and troubleshooting when an organism in question may not be significant. As an example, a scant growth of Micrococcus was isolated and reported from a cerebrospinal fluid culture; it was not seen in the Gram stain and was negative for leukocytes. Contaminants had been noted on some of the media plates at this time as well, but many of these inexperienced technologists do not have the confidence to ignore obvious contaminants or suggest the possibility of contamination. Is there some guidance or troubleshooting tools for these situations?

August 2017—Health record security at root of personal grid architecture: Imagine the risks credit reporting agencies would face if they did not maintain databases of consumer transactions but instead requested information from various creditors and assembled credit reports from that information in real time. Yet that’s how health information exchanges typically work. And that, says William Yasnoff, MD, PhD, a consultant, physician, and computer scientist, is not a safe or effective approach.

Put It on the Board, 8/17

August 2017—AML drug approved with companion diagnostic: The Food and Drug Administration approved Idhifa (enasidenib) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia who have a specific genetic mutation. The drug is approved for use with the RealTime IDH2 Assay, which is used to detect specific mutations in the IDH2 gene in patients with AML.
