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

May 2015—The diagnostics division of Siemens Healthcare announced the launch of three scalable hematology systems: the Advia 360 System, Advia 560 System, and Advia 560 AL System. These lower-capacity systems offer testing capabilities for small to mid-size laboratories and may also be used as backup systems for larger laboratories.
May 2015—Seegene announced that the Food and Drug Administration has granted 510(k) market clearance for its TOCE-based herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 assay. This is the first product Seegene has taken through the FDA, and it opens the way for the company’s other planned FDA submissions of multiplex real-time PCR reagents.
May 2015—Myriad RBM launched immunoassay services based on Quanterix’s ultrasensitive Simoa (single molecule array) platform, which enables the accurate measurement of protein biomarkers that were previously difficult or even impossible to detect in blood samples.
May 2015—The diagnostics division of Siemens Healthcare announced the availability of two urine testing solutions for U.S. central laboratories—the Clinitek Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer and the Clinitek AUWi Pro Automated Urine Workstation.
May 2015—Thermo Fisher Scientific and Samsung Electronics have formed a strategic collaboration to jointly design, develop, and market new point-of-care solutions in key applications, such as the detection of sepsis, drugs of abuse, and therapeutic drug monitoring as well as the detection of cardiac problems and women’s health conditions.
May 2015—Enzo Biochem announced the development of the FlowScript assay in detection of messenger RNA from HPV oncogenes E6 and E7. The FlowScript technology platform is a proprietary flow-cytometry-based molecular detection system for the multiplex analysis of cell function and identity; the HPV E6/E7 assay is the first product to use this novel platform. Analysis is performed on a small volume of a liquid cytology specimen and can be incorporated as a reflex test measure following abnormal Pap smear results.
May 2015—Seegene announced that Health Canada has approved its six-target Allplex Respiratory Panel 5 assay, which identifies influenza virus A and B, RSV A and B, and influenza A virus subtypes H1 and H3.
May 2015—WaveSense, a manufacturer of in vitro diagnostic cell targeting, enrichment, and isolation products for pathology, urology, and oncology, added a product to its line of cell enrichment applications delivered through its patented EpiSep medical product line.
May 2015—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute has published a new document, “Process Management (QMS18-Ed1).” This guideline describes four requirements for managing laboratory processes and provides suggestions for effectively meeting regulatory and accreditation requirements, optimizing efficient use of resources, and contributing to patient safety and positive outcomes.
May 2015—The Methotrexate ELISA kit from Enzo Life Sciences enables the monitoring of methotrexate levels during treatment of cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. The assay is also appropriate for the detection of methotrexate contamination after its use as a selective agent for recombinant protein production in mammalian cell lines.
