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

July 2017—Enzo Life Sciences unveiled its Multiview Plus (mouse-HRP/rabbit-AP) IHC Kit (brown/green). This nonbiotin nanopolymer detection system contains reagents and materials that detect and localize antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. The kit optimizes the IHC process by including the entire workflow, from antigen retrieval to visualization.
July 2017—MDxHealth SA announced that results from a retrospective study demonstrated that its ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer test improved the identification of African American men at risk for aggressive cancer missed by a prostate biopsy. The study findings were presented in a podium session at the 2017 American Urological Association annual meeting in Boston.
July 2017—Roche announced the CE-IVD launch of the Cobas Liat PCR System with four assays, including a 20-minute real-time PCR nucleic acid test to detect Clostridium difficile.
July 2017—Cynvenio Biosystems announced the availability of ClearID Total Insight Breast Cancer, a liquid biopsy monitoring service for patients in treatment and survivors in remission. This comprehensive assessment of a patient’s biological health is designed to measure immune health status and detect genetic mutations associated with cancer.
July 2017—Swift Biosciences has commercially released its Accel-Amplicon CFTR Panel, which aims to provide research laboratories with a more comprehensive, next-generation sequencing–based approach to interrogate the coding region and select introns within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene for disease-relevant mutations and variants. The panel is designed to offer a higher resolution view into the CFTR gene and produces ready-to-sequence libraries in two hours.
July 2017—Olympus’ new BX53 microscope features an LED illuminator equivalent to a 100-watt halogen lamp that delivers outstanding brightness and true-to-life images, according to the company. The LED enables researchers to clearly see purple, cyan, and pink dyes while its consistent color temperature aims to help speed up the observation workflow, since users don’t have to take time adjusting a color filter. The coded nosepiece works with the light intensity manager to automatically adjust the brightness level based on the objective being used.
June 2017—LGC Maine Standards’ Validate Heparin calibration verification/linearity test kit received FDA 510(k) clearance for use on Instrumentation Laboratory’s ACL TOP 500 hemostasis test systems. The Validate Heparin kit evaluates heparin anti-Xa activity in a human plasma matrix, is prepared using CLSI’s EP06-A recommended equal delta method for linearity testing, and is liquid, ready to use.
June 2017—Roche announced the CE-IVD launch of Cobas HPV for use on the Cobas 6800/8800 Systems for cervical cancer screening. This HPV DNA assay gives laboratories the ability to run HPV DNA testing simultaneously with other previously released Cobas assays, including chlamydia and gonorrhea (CT/NG), HIV-1, HCV, HBV, CMV, and three next-generation assays for donor screening: the Cobas MPX, Cobas WNV, and Cobas HEV.
June 2017—Cofactor Genomics launched its Pinnacle assay, which looks at gene fusions and gene expression in patient tumor samples to provide physicians with potential treatment targets for cancer patients.
June 2017—Singulex announced it received the CE mark for the Sgx Clarity system, a fully automated in vitro diagnostics platform powered by single-molecule counting technology. Up to 1,000 times more sensitive than existing technologies, single- molecule counting technology measures biomarkers at the lowest levels, revealing the presence, or absence, of disease so clinicians can provide the right treatment at the right time.
