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

May 2018—Vendor neutral archives: A fit for the pathology lab? Whether the initialism VNA will become as recognizable as the acronym PACS in the pathology field remains to be seen, but pathologists and vendors alike are considering how vendor neutral archives may benefit the pathology lab.
May 2018—Our immunohistochemistry laboratory is moving to a new building across the street. We are not getting new equipment, just moving the machines to the new building. Do we need to perform a full revalidation of all our antibodies?
May 2018—FDA approves osimertinib for NSCLC, nivolumab + ipilimumab for RCC: The FDA on April 18 approved osimertinib (Tagrisso, AstraZeneca) for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
April 2018—A semen analysis for viability was collected at 9:30 AM and not received in the laboratory until 1:40 PM. Our standard operating procedure says this test must be analyzed one hour after collection, with no disclaimers stated for late receivables. Therefore, it is my understanding that a specimen received five hours after collection would be considered unacceptable because the viability of the semen is compromised and the collection delivery does not follow our SOP.
April 2018—The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. The majority of drug overdose deaths involve an opioid, and nearly half of drug overdoses caused by opioids involve prescription drugs.
April 2018—Potential contributors to error in oxygen saturation calculation using a POC assay: Oxygen saturation is important for measuring respiratory status and calculating cardiac output for patients.
April 2018—Confirmation of ProMisE: a clinical classifier for endometrial cancer; Leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei: a morphological, IHC, and molecular analysis.
April 2018—Effect of inherited TP53 mutations on children with B-cell ALL: TP53 has been referred to as the “guardian of the genome” because it plays a central role in regulation of the cell cycle, DNA repair, and apoptosis, and because somatic mutations in TP53 are frequently identified in many tumor types.
April 2018—Data-extraction system demonstrates potential for pathology laboratories: Just as parents instill in their children a desire to improve themselves, in part through interactions with others, some software developers are “teaching” their tools to interact and adjust accordingly.
April 2018—CMS changes proposed policy on NGS for cancer patients: The CAP and the Association for Molecular Pathology, in separate statements in March, lauded the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for revising its national coverage determination on next-generation sequencing.
