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

Q&A column

Q. Is there expert advice or standard practice for releasing preliminary critical values for patients to the LIS pending subsequent technologist or technician verification and documentation? Read answer.
Q. We hope to validate a procedure for the fixation, decalcification, and staining of bone marrow specimens but we will not be able to access fresh marrow specimens for our decalcification validation. Can you recommend an alternative tissue to validate the preservation of tissue morphology and antigenicity after decalcification? Read answer.

Outcomes of an audit of repeat lab testing at an academic medical center
September 2018—Overutilization of laboratory tests increases health care costs and may lead to false-positive test results and ambiguous findings. Unnecessary testing can result from a single order from a provider, an automated function in an order set, or a combination of the two.

Thymoma: a clinicopathological correlation of surgical resection cases
September 2018—The authors presented 1,470 surgical resections for thymoma from the pathology files of 14 institutions in 11 countries with the purpose of determining and correlating a simplified histological classification of thymoma and pathological staging with clinical outcome.

Ability of genetic alterations to predict development of acute myeloid leukemia
September 2018—Acute myeloid leukemia affects more than 60,000 people in the United States every year and has a mortality rate of more than 90 percent. It is the most common form of acute leukemia and is caused by unchecked growth of immature precursor cells in the bone marrow. These immature cells, or blasts, are myeloid precursors that often develop into dysfunctional, cancerous white blood cells that fill the bone marrow and spread into the blood.

Nebraska informaticians mine and translate genomic data
September 2018—More than five years have elapsed since clinicians at the University of Nebraska Medical Center approached the institution’s informatics department with a problem. They wanted to more easily access structured genomic data stored in the EHR system for the diagnosis of cancer patients.

Burnout
September 2018—As a pre-med student, I am shadowing a pathologist mentor at a major cancer hospital to gain insight into the life of physicians. She introduced me to CAP TODAY. I write in response to “Frontline dispatches from the burnout battle,” by Karen Titus (June 2018), to share the thoughts of a novice who now knows that becoming a physician means learning the skill of resiliency as early as possible.
