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.

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.
August 2023—Analyzing the nasal epigenome can shed light on viral infections, strain differences, and potentially infection severity, and for influenza B in particular the results are striking.
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.
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.
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.
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.
August 2023—Cytology gynecologic statistical laboratory data must be analyzed in the context of changing screening modalities and patient populations. This is especially important with the increasing use of primary high-risk HPV screening because diagnostic metrics will be markedly different in that patient population.
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
August 2023—Peachy Ridgway Gilmer Jr., MD, a member of the CAP Board of Governors from 1985 to 1991, died on June 18 at age 90. Dr. Gilmer was vice chair of the CAP Council on Education and Membership Services and a member of several CAP groups: the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation, the Council on Quality Assurance, and the Election Oversight, Planning and Priorities, and Surveys committees.
August 2023—The benefit of the doubt: a risk worth taking in health care? Many of us work in practices, hospitals, or departments that are short-staffed. In the aftermath of the pandemic, it is harder now than ever to find qualified people, from pathologists to clinical laboratory scientists to phlebotomists. Those of us who still work in laboratories are feeling the stress of carrying an extraordinary load.
