This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.

In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.
Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

December 2016—Reproducibility of NEPTUNE descriptor-based scoring system with various types of images: The multicenter Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network, or NEPTUNE, digital pathology scoring system uses a novel and comprehensive methodology to document pathologic features from whole-slide images, immunofluorescence, and ultrastructural digital images.
December 2016—ANXA1 as a predictive biomarker for resistance to trastuzumab in breast cancer: Treatment with the HER2-targeting antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a key component of therapy for women with HER2-positive breast cancer. However, a subset of women with advanced disease shows initial or acquired resistance to therapy, although the mechanisms that control this resistance are largely unknown. Some studies have suggested that activation of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway may be responsible for trastuzumab resistance.
December 2016—The benefits of building a dedicated LIS support team: Too many cooks in the kitchen may be a problem, for which building more than one “kitchen” may be a solution. That’s the message Kathy Davis, manager of pathology informatics at the University of Michigan Medical Center, conveyed in an LIS management presentation at the 2016 Pathology Informatics Summit.
Q. Are there guidelines on microsatellite instability analysis by immunohistochemistry on colorectal adenocarcinomas? Specifically, should immunohistochemical stains for the mismatch repair enzymes be performed on all colorectal adenocarcinomas regardless of the clinical or pathological findings? A medical group recently requested these studies on all colorectal adenocarcinomas.
SeraCare develops first multiplexed cardiomyopathy reference material: SeraCare Life Sciences has launched a multiplexed reference material for inherited disease testing by next-generation sequencing.
December 2016—In the November 2016 issue was a report, “Detection of cnLOH as a sole abnormality in the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome,” written by members of the Association for Molecular Pathology. Here are answers (in bold) to the three “test yourself ” questions that followed that case report.
December 2016—I gave a talk for the CAP16 House of Delegates in September that opened with a three-minute video showing how perspective can change along a continuum of distance. The clip depicts a logarithmic journey across space from a grassy field in downtown Chicago to the farthest reaches of outer space, then retraces and extends its path to the deepest interior (“inner space”?) of human cells. That would be mesmerizing even without the stirring—almost danceable—orchestral accompaniment. The overall effect is visually stunning and intellectually provocative. I have watched the video a number of times. It never fails to remind me that where we stand and how we focus our attention really do shape what we see and how we see it.
