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.

Cytopathology in Focus: Paris System for urinary cytology: why and where now

May 2017—It is well known that examination of urine dates back to antiquity, but it wasn’t until the 19th century that cancer cells were microscopically documented in urine, by Hermann Lebert in 1845 and Vilem D. Lambl in 1856. Over many decades, countless talented and noteworthy authors have contributed valuable observations and conceptual mechanisms to the study of urinary cytology, but a systematic, universally accepted, internationally recognized system with clear goals was missing.

New autopsy book ‘a complete learning experience’

May 2017—Autopsy Performance & Reporting is a new book from CAP Press, released in April. The editor, Kim A. Collins, MD, and her 43 contributors wrote 40 chapters on facility design, safety, high-risk cases, the oral cavity, the placenta, the pediatric autopsy, special studies of the heart and lungs, postmortem microbiologic testing, photomicrography, and much more. “I know of no other autopsy book like this on the market,” Dr. Collins tells CAP TODAY.

Pregnancy-related death: Hepatic System

The chapter in Autopsy Performance & Reporting titled “Pregnancy-Related Death and the Autopsy Examination” is written by Cynthia Schandl, MD, PhD, of Medical University of South Carolina. Here from that chapter is an excerpt (published without references) on the hepatic system. Dr. Schandl’s chapter also covers the cardiovascular, respiratory, hematopoietic, urogenital, and endocrine systems, as well as the gastrointestinal tract and skin and connective tissue.

Q&A column, 5/17

May 2017—Is there any medical reason why a physician would ask the lab to run a complete blood count on cord blood? Does CAP checklist requirement HEM.23050 treat automated and manual differentials equally? That is, does the recommendation to report absolute counts apply also to manual differentials or only to automated differentials? What is the next step in resolving platelet clumping when it occurs in a citrate tube also?

New molecular road map for CRC

April 2017—Molecular testing for colorectal cancer is not for the faint of heart. While that’s not news to Stan Hamilton, MD—he’s head, Division of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and the Frederick F. Becker distinguished chair in cancer research, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center—he was reminded of this fact recently when a friend looked at the multipage molecular pathology report on his own tumor.
