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
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

Hear an expert discuss how to integrate Kappa and Lambda in situ hybridization testing into your standard hematopathology workflow to accurately assess B-cell and plasma cell clonality. You will also gain the skills to recognize testing pitfalls in challenging reactive versus neoplastic proliferations and apply ancillary tools to resolve complex cases.

May 2026—The fast-changing world of sequencing was the topic that a panel of pathologists and industry representatives dug into in a Feb. 27 online roundtable, led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle.
April 2026—Laboratory and pathology billing face challenges from reimbursement threats, downcoding, denials, and prior authorizations.
March 2026—A roundtable discussion focused on improving workflow efficiency in urinalysis, highlighting the potential of AI to enhance reflex testing by integrating test results with EHR data.
February 2026—Cybersecurity and image management are key concerns for laboratories adopting digital pathology and AI. While cloud-based systems offer enhanced security and scalability, onboarding new vendors and instruments remains challenging due to stringent security requirements and potential vulnerabilities.
January 2026—The Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine released new guidance discouraging clot-based testing in patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
November 2025—A roundtable discussion on laboratory information systems (LIS) highlighted the challenges labs face in meeting increasing demands with limited resources. The conversation emphasized the need for improved interoperability, automation, and flexibility in LIS to address complex testing workflows and workforce shortages.
June 2025—Chemistry and immunoassay analyzers—the customer input that shapes their development and the laboratory acquisition process and timeline. That and more, including the IT obstacles and solutions, were the focus of a roundtable, led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. He spoke with Moira Larsen, MD, MBA, of MedStar Health; Joe Baker of Baylor Scott & White; and representatives of Beckman Coulter, Roche, and Siemens Healthineers. Read about their April 15 online conversation.
May 2025—In-house or send out, small panel or large, ease of use, getting the most information possible from a sample and doing it fast—that was at the center of a March 17 conversation on next-generation sequencing, led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. “More and more patients need this testing faster and faster,” Jeremy Segal, MD, PhD, of the University of Chicago, said. What he and four industry executives told us in the online roundtable follows.
April 2025—Payer policy changes—“It’s almost impossible for the provider community to keep up,” Harley Ross of XiFin said in a Feb. 14 online roundtable led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. Ross and five other experts in pathology and laboratory medicine billing talked about prior authorizations, denials, narrow networks, and the need to advocate for laboratories.
March 2025—Urinalysis reflex rules, reimbursement, instruments, research, and specimen handling and transport are some of what came up in the Jan. 15 roundtable with eight participants online and CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle leading the discussion.
