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

December 2014—Abbott’s DNA test for the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus is now available in Europe. The test identifies women at increased risk for development of cervical cancer or the presence of high-grade disease.
November 2014—Siemens Healthcare, in agreement with Inpeco, has won an exclusive contract to automate a new, 200,000-square-foot clinical laboratory of Quest Diagnostics in Marlborough, Mass. This will be the first comprehensive automation solution Quest has deployed in one of its regional mega-laboratories in the United States.
November 2014—The Food and Drug Administration is allowing the marketing of the NephroCheck test, a first-of-a-kind laboratory test to help determine if certain critically ill hospitalized patients are at risk of developing moderate to severe acute kidney injury in the 12 hours following administration of the test. Early knowledge that a patient is likely to develop AKI may prompt closer patient monitoring and help prevent permanent kidney damage or death, according to the agency.
November 2014—Eppendorf has launched the Mastercycler Nexus X2, a molecular biology instrument for researchers looking to carry out two PCR reactions simultaneously, without compromising the number of samples.
November 2014—BrandTech Scientific announced the availability of inertGrade microplates for the cultivation of nonadherent cell lines, spheroids, and stem cells in a 96-well plate format. The polystyrene plates are treated with a proprietary hydrogel that creates a hydrophobic interface between the surface of the plastic and cellular material to inhibit cell and protein attachment.
November 2014—Dako, an Agilent Technologies company, announced the EU launch of HER2 IQFISH pharmDx automated on Dako Omnis. The assay will enable pathology laboratories to integrate the Dako HER2 IQFISH and IQFISH hybridization buffer into their immunohistochemistry workflow.
November 2014—Sirion Biotech, in cooperation with University of Munich and University of Cologne, developed a line of viral vectors with specific promoters that are only active in a targeted set of cells to initiate the desired gene expression. Using this method, the gene of interest is being expressed only in the targeted tissue relevant to the desired therapy. The method is designed to improve the effectiveness of therapy and reduce the likelihood of side effects.
November 2014—NanoString Technologies announced a highly multiplexed gene expression panel for the nCounter Analysis System, the PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel. The panel will enable researchers to create profiles of the human immune response in all cancer types, potentially accelerating the discovery and development of drugs, therapies, and predictive biomarker signatures for immunotherapy treatment response.
November 2014—Abbott has introduced an automated performance-monitoring subscription, mView, for its m2000 molecular diagnostics system. mView is a Web-based service designed to automate data ana-lysis and help laboratories reduce the number of manually generated reports.
November 2014—BloodCenter of Wisconsin’s diagnostic laboratories announced the availability of its erythroid chimerism test to monitor erythroid lineage chimerism in patients with sickle cell disease following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
