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.
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

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

July 2015—Qiagen launched two Investigator STR assay kits for analysis of DNA evidence in forensic laboratories in the United States—the Investigator 24plex QS Kit for amplification of the CODIS core and European Standard Set marker sets from casework samples and the Investigator 24plex GO! Kit for direct amplification of the CODIS core and ESS marker sets from reference samples.
July 2015—Microbiologics is expanding its line of Helix Elite Molecular Standards with two product formats: inactivated extraction controls and genomic DNA extracts. Used for validation, verification, proficiency testing, and quality control of molecular assays, Inactivated and Genomic Extract controls are available in multiple strains; the first genomic extracts are from low passage mycoplasma strains sourced from the National Collection of Type Cultures.
July 2015—The patented PrestoChill is an all-dry cryoembedding system from Milestone Medical that does not use liquid nitrogen, CO2, or isopentane. The 60-second freezing time prevents the formation of ice crystals. An automatic defrost cycle is provided to eliminate the potential formation of ice on the freezing platform.
July 2015—Rheonix showcased in June its Encompass Optimum research-use-only platform at the 115th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. The Encompass Optimum is an automated system for building and implementing molecular assays as a nonclinical tool.
July 2015—The journal Lung Cancer published a paper demonstrating the economic implications to the U.S. health care system of using VeriStrat in guiding treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The paper’s authors conclude that using Biodesix’s VeriStrat improves overall survival and decreases medical costs in the U.S. payer system.
July 2015—Eppendorf has added two screw-cap tubes in 15 mL and 50 mL sizes to its line of Eppendorf Tubes. The newly designed screw caps provide optimal sealing properties, and their grooved and multisurface side contour provide a secure, slip-free grip.
July 2015—Enzo’s TIMP-1 ELISA kit is designed to provide a useful tool for investigating the TIMP-1 levels in multiple human matrices and aims to advance the studies on TIMP-1 function. The assay format allows for quantitative detection of 30 pg/mL of TIMP-1 in various sample types including serum, plasma, saliva, urine, and tissue culture media.
July 2015—Euroimmun US announced the FDA 510(k) clearance of its EuroPattern System, which consists of a fluorescent microscope (oculars included for manual interpretation) and software that acquires, interprets, archives, and displays digital images of stained IFA slides.
July 2015—Biocartis presented liquid biopsy data from the company’s BRAF mutation study at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting in June. The study, in collaboration with Bart Neyns, MD, PhD, University Hospital Brussels, showed that BRAF oncogene mutations monitored in plasma from metastatic melanoma patients on Biocartis’ Idylla system were significantly associated with treatment response and progression.
June 2015—Horizon Discovery Group and ArcherDX have signed an original equipment manufacturer agreement in which Horizon’s reference materials will be supplied as a standalone product alongside ArcherDX’s Archer FusionPlex to aid customer validation of its ALK fusion assay kits. The ALK fusion tests can run on both Illumina and Ion Torrent next-generation sequencing platforms.
