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 2022—Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, following lung cancer. It is necessary to balance efforts to identify prostate cancer in the early stages against complications and harms from overtreatment and overdiagnosis.
August 2022—Mucocele-like lesion of the breast is an uncommon entity. Studies show low rates of upgrade from core needle biopsy to excision. The authors conducted a study to evaluate features associated with upgrade of cases of mucocele-like lesion of the breast (MLL) diagnosed on core needle biopsy.
August 2022—Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for locally advanced (stages II and III) colorectal carcinoma. Patients with node-positive (stage III) cancer receive adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery.
August 2022—Transfusion medicine specialists at Phoenix Children’s Hospital may be used to trending laboratory biomarkers for sickle cell disease patients in their heads, but a dashboard supporting red blood cell exchange procedures for such patients eases the burden on their cerebral cortices.

Q. Every month our anatomic pathology laboratory amends patient reports. Does the CAP have a benchmark for amended reports, such as how many are acceptable per month? Read answer.
Q. What is the best practice for performing a urine specific gravity test? Which method is preferred—a refractometer or an automated dipstick? Should we correct for elevated glucose and protein or report high specific gravity? Should we correct for x-ray dyes or add a comment and list possible interfering substances? Read answer.
August 2022—The FDA has granted breakthrough device designation to Roche’s Elecsys Amyloid Plasma Panel for detection of early Alzheimer’s disease. It detects and measures AD biomarkers in blood plasma to indicate the need for further confirmatory testing.
