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.
Webinar presenters David Braxton, MD, Chief of Molecular Pathology Services, Hoag Family Cancer Institute & Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, and Carlos Becerra, MD, Research Director for Medical Oncology, Margaret Given Larkin Endowed Chair for Developmental Cancer Therapeutics, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.

March 2022—Invasive gallbladder carcinoma is preceded by two main types of precursor lesions—intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasms and biliary intraepithelial neoplasias. Invasive gallbladder carcinomas with an intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasm (ICPN) component have more favorable prognoses than those without an ICPN component.
March 2022—Why are immunotherapies effective for some patients but not others—even among those with the same histologic tumor type and similar mutational burdens?
March 2022—Over the past decade, the field of pathology has increasingly been using Twitter for educational purposes, due in part to the ease with which one can share images for review on the social media platform. However, not all pathologists use Twitter, and only a portion of those who do use it employ the platform for educational purposes. To identify the challenges of using Twitter to create educational posts, the authors created a short multiple-choice Likert scale survey using Google Forms and distributed it through Twitter. The survey was divided into the categories of user demographics—work setting, job role, and history of posting educational content on Twitter; the biggest obstacle to creating educational content; and further exploration of the challenges faced when posting content to Twitter. One hundred and seventy-four medical professionals responded to the survey, of which pathology residents and fellows (n = 68; 39.1 percent) and practicing pathologists (n = 60; 34.5 percent) composed the largest groups.

Q. Are Pancoast tumors a fast-growing, untreatable cancer? Read answer.
Q. When performing reagent lot-to-lot correlation studies, some staff believe it is better to perform instrument calibration before a new reagent lot check while others believe calibration is not necessary. What is the appropriate practice? Read answer.
March 2022—Medical professionals and, more importantly, patients at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center are benefitting from a synoptic reporting system that allows the pathology lab to assess the quality of all bone marrow specimens that it receives.
March 2022—The CAP was one of eight pathology and laboratory organizations to endorse in a joint statement the use of the CKD-EPI 2021 race-free equations for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate. The others are the Academy of Clinical Laboratory Physicians and Scientists, American Association of Clinical Chemistry, American Society for Clinical Pathology, Association of Pathology Chairs, Clinical Laboratory Management Association, National Independent Laboratory Association, and Society of American Federated Medical Laboratory Scientists (the views of the SAFMLS do not represent the views of the U.S. government). Following is the statement they released on Jan. 31.
March 2022—This is in regard to the article in CAP TODAY, January 2022, “What influences med students to choose pathology?” which discusses reasons for the low enrollment in pathology residencies. The article is informative but there is no mention of an important resource we established at the CAP Foundation.
