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.

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

August 2023

Low level limbo in HER2 breast cancer

August 2023—Seemingly channeling the inspiration of Magritte and his famous pipe, pathologists are painting a new picture of what has long been an everyday object in their own world: HER2. To paraphrase the master: Ceci n’est pas facile. For years, HER2 testing in breast cancer has seemed self-evident, ever since the HER2-targeted therapy trastuzumab and its companion diagnostic arrived on the scene a quarter of a century ago. Pathologists became comfortable using immunohistochemistry to identify 3+ cases and turning to in situ hybridization techniques to sort through less obvious ones. But early last summer, a variant of the drug, trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd), shook up that routine. When researchers presented results from the Destiny-Breast04 study at the 2022 ASCO annual meeting, showing that T-DXd significantly improves survival in so-called HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, attendees responded with a minutes-long standing ovation. They then returned from the meeting like evangelicals from the revival tent.

For patients, demystifying pathology reports

August 2023—With patient access to pathology reports now common via online portals, the question some have asked is what can be done to make them easier for patients to understand.

 

Few but notable— new accreditation checklist changes

August 2023—Climate control, calculation verification, block retention, and histocompatibility section director (technical supervisor) qualifications are among the areas in which laboratories can expect to see revisions in the new edition of the CAP laboratory accreditation checklists, to be released this month.

In anatomic pathology labs, a balancing act

August 2023—Anatomic pathology laboratories—the pressures, the promise of technology to alleviate them, and the seemingly unprecedented rates of change. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle gathered pathologists and company representatives online on June 21 to talk about it all. From pathologist coverage to IT, from tumor boards to questions job candidates in pathology should ask, here’s what they told us.

New cassette printer a standout? Users think so

August 2023—No jams, downtime, or lost time. Plenty of savings, speed, and employee satisfaction. Users of what General Data calls its next-generation cassette printer for histology laboratories say they’ve seen all that and more.

AMP case report: Small intragenic structural variants in SATB2-associated syndrome

CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. AMP members write the reports using clinical cases from their own practices that show molecular testing’s important role in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. The following report comes from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Cytopathology in focus: How to approach cytology of unknown primary

August 2023—We discuss in this article a common problem that all cytopathologists come across frequently in their practice: tumors of unknown primary origin involving body fluids and other sites. Metastatic tumor cells can disseminate and colonize discontinuous secondary body sites.1 Such tumor metastases may be the patient’s initial presenting complaint to a family physician for deep-seated tumor primaries such as ovaries, pancreas, liver, and certain non-obstructive gastrointestinal tumors.

Cytopathology in Focus: Lung cytopathology reporting: WHO system and cases

August 2023—Accurate and timely diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective patient care, particularly in the field of pulmonary pathology. To address the challenges health care professionals face in diagnosing and reporting respiratory conditions, the International Academy of Cytology, together with the International Agency for Research on Cancer, recently developed the World Health Organization Reporting System for Lung Cytopathology
