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.

February 2022—Siemens Healthineers’ Enhanced Liver Fibrosis test is available in the United States, exclusively through collaboration with Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics. This commercial availability in the U.S. follows de novo marketing authorization from the FDA in August 2021.
The CAP for the next generation
January 2022—Happy New Year! Most of us start each year with resolutions, fresh budgets, or perhaps yearlong plans. This is often the time we think about the future and the choices we need to make now to achieve those long-term goals. In that spirit, I’ve been thinking about how important it is for the CAP to continually engage with and mentor the newest members of our pathology community. Residents and early-career pathologists bring vibrant energy to our ranks, and many of them will eventually contribute to the leadership of the CAP. While we always value the experience and wisdom of our more seasoned fellows, it is essential that we also make space to train up-and-coming leaders.
January 2022—Cancer rates have decreased consistently during the last several years, but not all populations have experienced similar rates of decline.
January 2022—Ki67, a nuclear proliferation-related protein, is used extensively in anatomic pathology but has not become a companion diagnostic or a standard-of-care biomarker because of analytic variability in assay protocols and interpretation.
January 2022—Irritable bowel syndrome is the most common gastrointestinal disorder, affecting 10 to 15 percent of the world population, yet its etiology is unknown. Patients experience a spectrum of gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, constipation, abdominal cramping, and pain.
January 2022
Q. When reporting reference ranges for absolute differential counts, should the ranges be age specific or is a single reference range acceptable? Read answer.
Q. Is it acceptable to use polystyrene tubes for aliquotting plasma for coagulation tests, such as platelet aggregation, and factor-related studies requiring serial dilutions of plasma? I recall seeing recommendations for using nonpolystyrene tubes for frozen plasma aliquots but did not see a reason for the recommendation. Read answer.
One pathologist’s foray into 3D printing
January 2022—The use of three-dimensional printing in the pathology lab may still be in its infancy, but pathologist Danielle Lameirinhas Vieira Maracaja, MD, and her anesthesiologist husband have been affirming its value to pathologists, and the medical community in general, for years. Dr. Danielle Maracaja, a pathologist at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, Winston-Salem, NC, and assistant professor of pathology at Wake Forest School of Medicine, has been working alongside her husband, Luiz Maracaja, MD, associate professor of anesthesiology at the same hospital and medical school, in designing and producing medical tools using 3D-printing technology for more than five years. They took on one of their largest projects in early 2020, when Dr. Danielle Maracaja was a pathology fellow at Yale University School of Medicine and COVID-19 cases were spiking.
January 2022—The Food and Drug Administration granted 510(k) clearance for SeptiCyte Rapid, which runs on Biocartis’ molecular diagnostics Idylla platform. It’s a fully automated, rapid host-response test that distinguishes sepsis from infection-negative systemic inflammation in patients suspected of sepsis.
December 2021—When I became a pathologist more than 20 years ago, I never imagined I would have the opportunity to serve as chief medical officer at a hospital. But I can see from my new position how a background in pathology has prepared me for hospital leadership. In fact, the very traits that led us to become pathologists are the ones that make so many of us natural leaders. We are nimble thinkers who can simultaneously appreciate the big picture and the tiny details. Likewise, we can think concurrently about population health and individual patients. Our ability to see and understand these perspectives so clearly is a huge advantage. Because our specialty touches many different aspects of medicine, we are comfortable interacting with all segments of the health care system—from operative services and radiology to the emergency department, medical wards, and ambulatory setting.
December 2021—Alzheimer disease is characterized by extracellular amyloid-β deposits, tau tangles, neuronal death, and extensive neuroinflammatory changes. Genetic studies have revealed the importance of gene variants that increase the risk for developing the disease.
