Thursday, September 24, 2026 11 AM-12 PM CT
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

Clinical Pathology Selected Abstracts, 2/15

February 2015—Alcohol consumption relative to type of breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women: Alcohol consumption is a known risk factor for breast cancer, but it is not known which subtypes of breast cancer, if any, are more likely associated with alcohol consumption. The authors conducted a large study using the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial cohort to test for heterogeneity in alcohol-related risk by breast cancer subtypes defined by estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status and histological type.

Q&A column, 2/15

February 2015—Can our laboratory use ALK immunohistochemistry in lung adenocarcinoma to select patients for targeted therapy? ALK gene rearrangements (the most common of which results in expression of the EML4-ALK fusion protein) are found in approximately five percent of lung adenocarcinomas, and these ALK-rearranged tumors show marked clinical response to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor crizotinib.

From the President’s Desk: Making disaster readiness routine, 1/15

January 2015—Ebola virus disease had taken 6,900 lives in West Africa and exactly one in the United States as of Dec. 18, 2014. The World Health Organization in August had declared the West African crisis to be a public health emergency of international concern. Yet EVD received little attention in the U.S. until a patient who had traveled from Liberia was diagnosed at Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Sept. 30 and died eight days later.

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 1/15

January 2015—Age-related mutations linked to clonal hematopoietic expansion and malignancies: A common practice in molecular profiling of tumors is to subtract mutations detected in DNA derived from blood (representing germline or inherited polymorphisms) from mutations detected in DNA derived from the paired tumor to assess the tumor’s somatic molecular profile.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

January 2015—Platelet transfusion: an AABB clinical practice guideline. Despite long-standing prophylactic use of platelet transfusions, an appropriate transfusion threshold has been a matter of debate. In particular, better data from newly emerging clinical studies has been a focus of this evolving debate.

Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 1/15

January 2015—Are amended surgical pathology reports reaching the correct care provider? Amended reports need to follow patients to treating physicians to avoid erroneous management based on an original diagnosis. The authors undertook a study to determine if amended reports followed patients appropriately. They tracked amended reports with diagnostic changes and discrepancies between ordering and treating physicians.

Q & A column, 1/15

January 2015— How can we establish or verify our PT and APTT reference intervals? Is it necessary to verify the reference interval with each new reagent lot? Does the CAP recommend mentioning “mean normal PT” with patients’ results?

Put It on the Board, 1/15

January 2015—Digitized slides spur patient engagement, ‘allow for democratized medicine’. Regulatory and reimbursement hurdles are key factors blocking broader adoption of digital pathology. But the technology is already having an impact, enabling patients to grasp a firmer hold of the wheel in directing their care, said Keith J. Kaplan, MD, a pathologist and laboratory medical director in Charlotte, NC.

Newsbytes, 1/15

January 2015—Desire to stem lab test overuse leads to free software: For Zia Uddin, PhD, enough was enough. After reading time and again about the proliferation of redundant and otherwise medically unnecessary laboratory testing in the U.S. health care system, the clinical chemist and computer scientist decided to take matters into his own hands—quite literally.

From the President’s Desk: Are we there yet?, 12/14

December 2014—At this time of year, when we are inclined to reminisce, I often recall holiday travel with small children. I mention this to explain my headline—an existential question also relevant to our work at the CAP. When those around the table begin to debate a point (say, for example, during a CAP Board of Governors meeting), I sometimes recall voices. I suspect that’s true for many of us.
