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.

June 2025—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced that its DxC 500i clinical analyzer received FDA 510(k) clearance. The integrated chemistry and immunoassay analyzer has a throughput of up to 800 clinical chemistry tests and 100 immunoassay tests per hour and features FlexMode operations, which prioritize immunoassay and chemistry testing according to each sample’s urgency.
June 2025—Qiagen announced the launch of its QIAprep& Plasmodium kit and two companion assays to support malaria research and surveillance efforts. The solution combines sample preparation and quantitative PCR into one workflow and detects all five Plasmodium species in human samples. The QIAprep& technology detects as little as one parasite per microliter, is compatible with liquid and dried blood samples, and is suitable for use on many qPCR platforms, including the company’s Rotor-Gene Q.
June 2025—QuidelOrtho Corp. announced the availability of the QuidelOrtho Results Manager system, an informatics solution designed to provide a seamless, user-friendly experience for community hospitals and point-of-care settings, strengthening informatics capabilities across QuidelOrtho’s diagnostics portfolio. The system provides continuous tracking of instruments and assays, streamlines workflows with autoverification and simplified rule-writing tools, and integrates with multiple instruments and unlimited concurrent users.
June 2025—Ibex Medical Analytics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for Ibex Prostate Detect, an in vitro diagnostic, software only medical device that analyzes scanned histopathology whole slide images from prostate core needle biopsies prepared from H&E-stained formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. If tissue suspicious for prostate cancer is identified, the system provides case- and slide-level alerts and includes an AI-generated heat map that identifies small and rare missed prostatic cancers.
June 2025—Maine Molecular Quality Controls announced the release of the FilmArray TF control panel, for users of the FDA-cleared BioFire FilmArray tropical fever panel. The multiplexed control is intended for use as an external positive and negative assayed quality control to monitor the performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures for the qualitative detection of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens. The kit includes six 200-μL positive controls and six 200-μL negative controls.
June 2025—Labcorp and North Mississippi Health Services announced that Labcorp has completed its acquisition of North Mississippi Health Services’ ambulatory outreach laboratory business and is now a referral laboratory for NMHS’ seven hospitals and clinic laboratories.
