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.

From the President’s Desk: Looking back, looking ahead

September 2021—As my term as president of the College of American Pathologists comes to a close, I am both honored and humbled to have been selected by my peers for this position. Over the past two years our organization was presented with the greatest challenge we have ever faced. Because of our phenomenal members and staff, we have accomplished great things even though we worked under the most adverse conditions. We, yet again, backed a horse named CAP. It broke out of the gate well and had to weave through traffic on a bad track, but we are ahead. We made the right bet and I am so, so lucky to have been chosen to be the jockey for this race. Looking back, the COVID-19 pandemic presented our community with relatively sudden and profound changes resulting in a tremendous number of challenges. It has dominated our lives. We should be proud of our accomplishments. We have not only put out many fires and sewn up deep wounds, but we have also set up the College and our fellows for continued success so that we will be able to keep serving our patients well.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

September 2021—Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death for men and women, with approximately 52,980 deaths projected this year. Although colorectal cancer is most frequently diagnosed in adults between the ages of 65 and 74 years, about 10.5 percent of new colorectal cancer cases will occur in those younger than 50 years of age.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

September 2021—Nivolumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor approved for treating many types of cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Liver injury is a known complication in patients treated with nivolumab for nonliver tumors. The morphologic changes to tumor and nontumor liver have not been well-characterized in HCC patients.

Pathology informatics selected abstracts

September 2021—Chronic myelogenous leukemia is a clonal stem cell disorder driven by the BCR-ABL1 fusion oncogene and accounts for 15 percent of adult leukemias. Patients typically present with abnormalities in their complete blood cell counts with differential classification.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

September 2021—More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, an essential question remains unanswered: Why do some people infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop severe life-threatening disease or die while others are asymptomatic or have only mild disease symptoms?

Q&A column

September 2021
Q. What is the ideal collection tube for measuring the level of ammonia in blood? Is a tube containing EDTA suitable?Read answer.
Q. Is there a requirement to notify nursing personnel or doctors about each critical value obtained for a patient after the initial occurrence of the critical result?Read answer.

September 2021—When Stephen Hewitt, MD, PhD, went down the COVID-19 rabbit hole in early 2020, little did he know about the long-term value of a comprehensive COVID-19 digital pathology repository—and how such a project would come to fill his days and, occasionally, nights.

Put It on the Board

September 2021—Testing for chronic kidney disease in adults with hypertension and/or diabetes is low in routine clinical care, despite guideline recommendations, write the authors of a study published in Diabetes Care (Alfego D, et al. 2021;44[9]:2025–2032).

From the President’s Desk: A step forward

August 2021—No doubt about it, in-person meetings are coming back. I went from a record-long stretch at home because of the pandemic to attending events all over the country. I hasten to add that my entire family is fully vaccinated, and we were so at our first opportunity. As I write this in July, I just returned from an in-person professional development meeting, and I am reminded that virtual meetings are nowhere near as effective as face-to-face meetings. That’s why I am pleased that CAP21 will be a hybrid meeting this year. It’s a step back to normal and will allow people to engage in the way that’s most comfortable for them as the COVID-19 pandemic continues in our country. It feels good to have the opportunity to come back together. I think one of the many reasons our country is so divided now is that we have been separated from each other for so long. At a recent CAP meeting I attended, there was a disagreement during one particular session. After it ended, everyone involved got together face to face, talked through the issue, and came to a good resolution.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

August 2021—Pseudocarcinomatous squamous hyperplasia within the bone is uncommon and closely mimics well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. It arises from cutaneous or mucosal surfaces and grows directly into the bone. The authors conducted a study in which they analyzed a series of 31 pseudocarcinomatous squamous hyperplasia (PSH) cases and discussed the clinicopathologic features that distinguished PSH from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
