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.

AMP bolsters position on consumer genomic testing
July 2019—The Association for Molecular Pathology revised its position for all consumer genomic testing. Based on a recent assessment of the current market landscape and privacy best practices, the latest position statement features an expanded list of conditions that must be met before the AMP can support a clinically meaningful test. The AMP remains neutral to all recreational, novelty, and ancestry testing that may create educational opportunities for the public. The expanded set of conditions is as follows: • All health-related claims must have well-established clinical validity. • The consumer genomic testing provider must comply with the CLIA statute and regulations. Test validation and interpretation should be performed by board-certified molecular laboratory professionals. • Information regarding the analytical and clinical validity of the tests should be present in all marketing materials and included in each report of results.

Digital pathology: from education to implementation
July 2019—Matthew Hanna, MD, is well aware that not all pathologists embrace the idea of using digital pathology for clinical applications. “I’m very confident it’s a familiarity issue,” says Dr. Hanna, clinical instructor in breast pathology and informatics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

From the President’s Desk: CAP19—Widening our embrace

July 2019—I attended our first CAP annual meeting and haven’t missed one since. Pathology is dynamic and complex, so our learning team is forever coming up with useful and meaningful ways to present new material. Everyone who is involved in any way wants to make our time in Orlando engaging and enjoyable. CAP19 will be the best ever.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

July 2019—Noninvasive testing for prenatal screening has been available through independent commercial companies and academic and hospital-based laboratories since 2011.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

July 2019—Although the majority of low-grade, early stage endometrial cancer patients have good survival rates with surgery alone, patients who recur tend to do poorly. Identifying patients at high risk of recurrence who would benefit from adjuvant treatment or more extensive surgical staging would improve individualized care for endometrial cancer patients.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

July 2018—The use of liquid biopsies to non-invasively detect and monitor cancer is rapidly expanding. In these assays, fragments of cell-free DNA (cfDNA), which are released when cells undergo necrosis or apoptosis, are isolated from the patient’s plasma and sequenced. Because cfDNA can originate from cancer cells and normal cells, the variant allele frequency of cancer-specific somatic mutations can often be very low.
