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.

May 2026—Education is one of the CAP’s core missions, closely linked to its commitment to advocacy and excellence in practice. In addition to its overarching laboratory improvement programs, the CAP provides educational offerings in a variety of formats, designed to satisfy the learning needs of its members and of a diverse group of laboratory professionals.
May 2026—The CAP recently reached a record high of over 20,000 members, strengthening its advocacy efforts. Through PathPAC, the CAP engages with federal policymakers to advocate for pathologists and patient care. The CAP also advocates for the pathology community through its involvement with the AMA.

Q. When we receive new immunohistochemistry antibodies or DAB kits, they undergo a quality control process. Every institution where I have worked has done this task a little differently. When a laboratory receives a new antibody, what is the correct QC process? What if we receive two units of the same antibody from the same lot but one came in on Thursday and one on Friday? Read answer.
May 2026—The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has issued a final rule that establishes HIPAA standards for electronic health care claims attachments.
