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.

COVID-19

COVID testing capacity falls short as flu season nears

August 2020—As the need for COVID-19 testing grows well beyond that for hospital patients, clinical laboratories in mid-summer were again overwhelmed by demand while at the same time bracing for flu season. That was the gist of a July 10 webinar that brought together Gyorgy Abel, MD, PhD, medical director of clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, immunology, and point-of-care testing at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, Mass.; Bob McGonnagle, CAP TODAY publisher; and moderator Steve Beuchaw, director of life science and medical device research, Wolfe Research.

Outbreak detection of novel pathogens: Is AI the answer?

July 2020—A machine learning algorithm, used in conjunction with BioFire’s Syndromic Trends, demonstrated a mechanism for near real-time outbreak detection of enterovirus D68, says a study reported in the Journal of Clinical Virology.

At UW, anatomic pathology rotation moves online

July—When COVID-19 set in, much of residency education in the U.S. moved online. At the University of Washington School of Medicine, anatomic pathology faculty took online learning a step further by creating a virtual two-week anatomic pathology rotation for medical students. The faculty is aiming for a four-week virtual rotation inclusive of more laboratory medicine, to be used even after the pandemic has passed.

At the pandemic’s serologic frontier

June 2020—The arrival of a pandemic has shown—among many, many other things—that anyone who talks about it typically starts by saying, “This is a pandemic.” The next sentence tends to be, “It’s a completely different situation,” whether the focus is grocery shopping, exercising (or not), voting, or practicing medicine. Pointing to the pandemic is a polite way of saying, “All bets are off.” For many, it’s been a springboard to innovation and breakthroughs, even in the midst of considerable anguish. For clinical laboratories, however, much has felt unsettling, especially when the conversation turns to serology testing for SARS-CoV-2. It’s a topic stuffed to overflowing with interest, enthusiasm—and, early on, antibody tests themselves.

Autopsies show many faces of COVID-19
Sudden” and “global” are descriptors that seldom appear in tandem, especially in relation to disease epidemiology. But they both fit the COVID-19 pandemic, which has left the health care world reeling. “COVID-19 has infected the entire planet pretty much all at once,” says Alex K. Williamson, MD. Read more.

Amid COVID-19 crisis, pathologists fill a critical gap

June 2020—At NYU Langone Health, pathologists and others typically not seen out front in the fight against COVID-19 became the bridge between families and the floors. When Katherine A. Hochman, MD, associate chair for quality in the Department of Medicine at NYU Langone, contracted a mild case of COVID-19, she finally had a chance to take a step back and think. Before going into quarantine to recover, Dr. Hochman had been on the floors day in and day out attending to COVID-19 patients.

In Italy, lessons learned for lab testing

June 2020—The key lesson for policymakers and hospital administrators stemming from the pandemic is that continuing to cut human and economic resources will create large organizational issues when the entire system of care, including laboratory diagnostics, is challenged by “an enormously amplified volume of tests to manage emergent situations,” write Giuseppe Lippi, MD, of the University of Verona, and Mario Plebani, MD, of University Hospital of Padova, Italy, in an opinion paper published online March 19.

Published in July:
Reading COVID-19’s signature: lung tissue injury
Alain Charles Borczuk, MD, began his practice of pathology as a resident 28 years ago and has spent quite a bit of his career doing autopsies. But it is this year, during the pandemic, that he’s finding some of the best applications of his autopsy work as he seeks to understand the lung injury patterns in SARS CoV-2, or COVID-19 patients. Read more.

A lab world embroiled in pandemic

May 2020—Along with SARS-CoV-2, clinical laboratory testing has been hiding in plain sight far longer than many people realize. But it took the novel coronavirus (which, frankly, hardly feels novel anymore) to make that clear to the rest of the world. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, laboratory testing crashed the news cycle. National leaders sought to reassure citizens by promising millions of test kits.
