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

November 2021—Metastasis to the thyroid gland is a rare occurrence that may pose a diagnostic challenge. The authors reported on the clinicopathological features, immunoprofile, molecular alterations, and outcomes of 30 patients with thyroid metastases who were treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from 2003 to 2019.
November 2021—The standard-of-care treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer is neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy. Approximately 35 percent of patients who receive neoadjuvant treatment will achieve pathologic complete response (pCR).
November 2021—When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, many pathology training programs scrambled to formulate a plan to teach their pathology residents in a physically distanced learning environment. Using double- or multi-headed optical light microscopes, even with plexiglass barriers, is not ideal because they do not permit physical distancing. Many training programs leveraged digital imaging technology to continue teaching microscopy during the pandemic. Pathology departments that could not afford whole slide imaging for this purpose sometimes employed the less expensive option of dynamic virtual microscopy (DVM). A DVM platform includes a digital camera mounted to a light microscope and videoconferencing software so an educator can stream a slide image to one or more remote learners.
November 2021—The following is an edited excerpt of the article “Attention-based deep multiple instance learning,” written by Jonathan Glaser, a recent graduate of the computer science and biotechnology master of science degree programs at New York University Tandon School of Engineering, in Brooklyn. The excerpt delves into how aspects of artificial intelligence can transform health care, and pathology in particular. To read the full article, go to https://tinyurl.com/AI-based-learning.

Q. I am a nurse in a cardiac cath lab that performs point-of-care testing, including for activated clotting time. At my hospital, the POC testing coordinator only allows other cath lab staff, usually nurses, to use POC testing equipment if they have a copy of their diploma. Can staff who have proof of licensure (such as from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) but do not have a copy of their diploma be authorized to use POC testing equipment? Read answer.
Q. I recently joined a hospital laboratory that verifies reagents lot to lot with patient samples using a percentage difference of 10 for all parameters. The hospital lab where I previously worked used a CLIA allowable-error percentage. Is 10 percent allowable error acceptable for reagent lot-to-lot verification for all parameters? Read answer.
November 2021—Roche has entered into separate agreements with PathAI and Ibex Medical Analytics in which the companies will jointly develop embedded image analysis workflows for pathologists.
