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.

December 2017

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 12/17

December 2017—Gene mutations in HPV-negative penile squamous cell carcinoma: The majority of penile squamous cell carcinomas are caused by transforming human papillomavirus infection. The etiology of HPV-negative cancers is unclear, but TP53 mutations have been implicated. Archival tissue from 108 invasive squamous cell carcinomas from a single pathology institution in a low-incidence area were analyzed for HPV-DNA and p16INK4A overexpression and for TP53 mutations by Ion Torrent next-generation sequencing.

December 2017—Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy assessment and management of toxicities: In August, the FDA approved the gene therapy Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) for pediatric and young adult patients with a form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a breakthrough in the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma, but it is associated with unique acute toxicities, such as cytokine-release syndrome and CAR-T-cell-related encephalopathy syndrome.

Molecular Pathology Abstracts, 12/17

December 2017—Refining subgroups of pediatric gliomas using molecular markers: Pediatric high-grade and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas are a rare and heterogeneous group of tumors that show diverse histology, location, and prognosis. Although little was known regarding the development of these tumors, recent genomic studies have begun to elucidate their biological underpinnings. The authors conducted a study to further understanding of such gliomas by breaking them into subgroups.

Q&A column, 12/17

December 2017—Is a tumor embolus in the capsule of the lymph nodes considered metastasis? Does the lung, like the lymph nodes of the breast, have the concept of isolated tumor cells? As the staging rule is “when in doubt, understage,” would the case therefore be pT2, N0?

Newsbytes, 12/17

December 2017—Hospital cyberattack a brief setback with lasting gain: A cyberattack that paralyzed the computer systems at a rural West Virginia hospital last summer could have brought the laboratory’s work to a screeching halt. But that didn’t happen, thanks, in part, to the downtime procedures in place throughout the laboratory and the low-tech nature of the lab’s pathology operations.

Put It on the Board, 12/17

December 2017—FDA announces IMPACT authorization and path for authorization of other tumor profiling tests: The FDA on Nov. 15 authorized Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s IMPACT (Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets) tumor profiling test. The IMPACT test uses next-generation sequencing to identify the presence of mutations in 468 unique genes, as well as other molecular changes in the genomic makeup of a tumor.

AMP case report: November 2017 test yourself answers

December 2017—In the November 2017 issue was a report (page 26), “Follicular lymphoma of gallbladder: Use of immunoglobulin gene clonality studies to facilitate diagnosis of unusual case,” 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.
