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.

April 2013—ACMG issues guidance on incidental findings: The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics released last month its recommendations for reporting incidental findings in clinical exome and genome sequencing. An ACMG working group, working with 15 experts who served as external reviewers, specifies a set of disorders, the relevant associated genes, and certain categories of variants that should be reported, based on a consensus-driven assessment of clinical validity and utility.

April 2013—Preoperative diagnosis of benign thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology: Approximately 15 percent to 30 percent of thyroid nodules evaluated by fine-needle aspiration are not clearly benign or malignant. Patients with cytologically indeterminate nodules are often referred for diagnostic surgery, though most of these nodules prove to be benign.

April 2013—Variant of TREM2 associated with risk of Alzheimer’s disease: Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. The disease is characterized by the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, and loss of neurons, which results in brain atrophy and progressive loss of cognitive function.

From the President’s Desk: Transformational practice—2 in spotlight

February 2013—A National Football League playoff game was on the ceiling monitor in the airport lounge where I was trying to work on this column, and the announcer was talking about how well they were moving the ball. My first reaction was that he sounded awfully excited for a guy with only one ball to move. Maybe he should come to work at the CAP and see what real excitement is.
