2026 Issues

ASCO to shine light on multimodal AI models:
Plus, melanoma diagnostics and gastroesophageal cancer targets

April 2026—Artificial intelligence, circulating tumor DNA, trial data: ASCO 2026 next month in Chicago will feature platforms, technologies, and therapeutic approaches once considered future concepts in cancer diagnosis and care. What comes now is less flashy than a breakthrough advance perhaps, but no less significant. As Janice Lu, MD, PhD, puts it, “The real work now is disciplined clinical translation: validation, collaboration, and implementation, in ways that truly improve patient care.”

New susceptibility subsection with a broad scope

April 2026—A new general susceptibility subsection in the microbiology checklist consolidates requirements for antibacterials, antifungals, and antimycobacterials, aiming for clarity and a broader focus beyond bacteriology.

Speed, scale, and simplicity in microarray analyzer

April 2026—CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke on Feb. 19 with Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Ravi Gupta, MBA, VP and general manager; Robert Balog, PhD, MBA, senior director, research and development; and Poulomi Acharya, PhD, senior director, global product management and market development, genetic sciences.

Bob McGonnagle: Thermo Fisher launched last fall the SwiftArrayStudio, a next-generation microarray analyzer that will support genomics research and clinical applications through the use of laboratory-validated and -developed tests. Ravi Gupta, what motivated the development of this analyzer?

Ravi Gupta: The SwiftArrayStudio resulted from listening to customers. It addresses the scientific and operational pressures observed in modern genomics. I call them the real-world needs. For decades, labs across human predictive genomics and agrigenomics have dealt with persistent challenges in workflow complexity, inconsistent turnaround times, and escalating costs.

No age too early: lab exposure through children’s books

April 2026—Two new children’s books aim to introduce young readers to the world of laboratory medicine. Mia the Marvelous Lab Explorer follows a young superhero pathologist as she helps diagnose a young boy with leukemia, while ABCs of Laboratory Medicine uses the alphabet to explain various laboratory concepts.

From the President’s Desk

April 2026—Pathologists are physicians who play a crucial role in patient care, providing accurate diagnoses and guiding treatment decisions. Despite often working behind the scenes, pathologists are essential to modern medicine, contributing to advancements in precision medicine and molecular diagnostics.
