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 2017—Proposing prognostic thresholds for lymph node yield in oral cavity cancers: Prognostic lymph node yield thresholds have been identified and incorporated into treatment guidelines for multiple cancer sites, but not for oral cancer. The authors conducted a study to identify optimal thresholds in elective and therapeutic neck dissection for oral cavity cancers.
April 2017—Molecular profiling in MDS to predict clinical outcomes after transplantation: In recent years, several insights have been gleaned regarding the role of molecular markers for prognosis in myeloproliferative disease. This study expanded the use of molecular markers for prognosis in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to predicting clinical outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplants.
April 2017—Our laboratory receives requests for breast predictive marker testing (estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, HER2, Ki-67) on biopsies of bone metastases. Is it appropriate to perform this testing on decalcified tissue? Is there a regulatory speed limit—whether a per day or a per hour “at the microscope” workload limit—on surgical pathology slide interpretations, similar to workload limits for cytology screening?
April 2017—New open-access website offers a treasure trove of digital slides; HL7 collaborates with Google; Health Catalyst and Regenstrief to advance text analytics technology; Corista teams with Elsevier to augment digital platform; Seacoast enhances system for document management
April 2017—At OSU, Inspirata completes deployment of WSI scanners, launches Consultation Portal: Inspirata has completed what it describes as the largest single-site deployment of whole slide image scanners at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (The James) and the Department of Pathology, both located at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus.
March 2017—Students of history tell us that a durable paradigm shift most often involves a long gestation, typically under the radar and recognized by a precious few. What they frequently fail to tell us is that the vast majority of prognosticators often turn out to be both flat-out wrong and invisible when the “future” arrives. Either way, however, the prevailing narrative points to uncertainty in the greater health care environment.
February 2017—Preventing genetic testing order errors via a lab utilization management program: Diagnostic errors, or failure to provide an accurate and timely diagnosis, impact an estimated 12 million outpatient care visits annually in the United States. These errors can often be attributed to the testing process, including test selection, ordering, retrieval, and interpretation. Literature about diagnostic errors has primarily focused on the outpatient setting; study of diagnostic error in the inpatient setting has been limited.
March 2017—An immunohistochemical algorithm for ovarian carcinoma typing: Five major histotypes of ovarian carcinoma exist. Diagnostic typing criteria have evolved over time, and past cohorts may be misclassified by current standards. The authors undertook an endeavor to reclassify the recently assembled Canadian Ovarian Experimental Unified Resource and Alberta Ovarian Tumor Type cohorts using immunohistochemical (IHC) biomarkers and to develop an IHC algorithm for ovarian carcinoma histotyping.
March 2017—Effects of ovarian cancer cells manipulating mesothelial cells that line the peritoneal cavity: spread within the peritoneal cavity, resulting in cell implantation and metastasis at many secondary sites. The peritoneal cavity and associated organs are lined by a single layer of mesothelial cells that it has been suggested not only provides a physical barrier to prevent implantation and invasion but also plays a more complex interactive role in regulating cancer spread.
March 2017—Pathologist to ‘name names’ in support of interoperability: Desperate times call for desperate measures. And while desperation may be a bit of an overstatement, a leader in pathology informatics says extreme frustration with LIS vendors, whose closed architecture, in effect, holds client data hostage, drove him to rally his colleagues to call out the offenders in a public forum.
