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

November 2015—General Data Healthcare has introduced five products for the histology lab. The ID/Positive CL-04 Laser Cassette Marker offers permanent, indelible marking of tissue cassettes and slides with high-resolution text and barcodes and features four removable cassette magazines, each holding up to 70 cassettes, for a total of 280, which can be switched with magazines containing different cassette types or colors.
November 2015—Agena Bioscience introduced the Chip prep moduleto automate sample handling after polymerase chain reaction for the MassArray 96-well System. This enables laboratories to operate the MassArray System largely unattended for high-throughput, multiplex genetic analysis.
November 2015—Nuclea Biotechnologies has met the requirements from the FDA for its Carbonic Anhydrase IX Automated immunohistochemistry kit as a class I in vitro diagnostic device for use on a Ventana Benchmark XT instrument.
November 2015—Leica Biosystems released its HistoCore Arcadia, a modular embedding system designed to streamline workflow in histopathology laboratories. HistoCore Arcadia is a combination of the paraffin-dispensing module Arcadia H and the cold plate Arcadia C. Simple operation and precise control help improve the quality, reliability, and speed of embedding work. The new station incorporates wrist pads for increased comfort and stability, an optional magnifier to facilitate specimen orientation of small and complex biopsies, and an LCD touchscreen.
