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 2019—A study conducted by Medical Database (Leblow L, et al. J Clin Lab Med. Sept. 5, 2019. doi:10.16966/2572-9578.128) showed that its laboratory decision system, LDS, reduced unnecessary test ordering.
November 2019—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared for marketing four previously cleared tests with new indications to aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. The tests cleared involve a new testing paradigm in which two enzyme immunoassays are run concurrently or sequentially, rather than the current two-step process in which a Western blot must be run after the initial EIA test.
November 2019—Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center announced that the New York State Department of Health has issued an approval for its Analysis of Circulating cfDNA to Evaluate Somatic Status (MSK-ACCESS) molecular assay. MSK-ACCESS was developed in the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Center for Molecular Oncology and has been clinically validated and implemented by members of MSK’s molecular diagnostics service.
November 2019—Randox introduced a research use only sPLA2-IIA assay for use on a range of clinical chemistry analyzers. The latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay measures sPLA2-IIA mass levels.
November 2019—ChromaCode announced publication of a study by the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and Gundersen Medical Foundation, La Crosse, Wis., highlighting the performance and utility of the High-Definition PCR Tick-Borne Pathogen Panel RUO.
November 2019—Alcor Scientific introduced the miniiSED, the newest addition to its iSED family of erythrocyte sedimentation rate analyzers.
Biocare Medical released a mouse monoclonal antibody, p16 INK4a, for in vitro diagnostic use in the qualitative identification of the p16 INK4a protein by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissues.
November 2019—Hamilton Company introduced its compact Microlab Prep automated liquid handler, designed to fit on a lab bench or in a biological safety cabinet. The system consists of two independent pipetting channels and a high-speed multiprobe head as well as a configuration containing both pipetting technology types.
November 2019—AutoGen has introduced its fully automated Xtract 16+, for nucleic acid purification from molecular diagnostic, biological, clinical, and forensic sample types. The Xtract 16+ offers nucleic acid isolation from liquid biopsies, plasma, serum, and other body fluids and can process up to 16 samples simultaneously.
November 2019—Binding Site’s Immunologicals Group has expanded its line of antibodies and antigens for human coagulation testing applications. Prothrombin and glycerol-free prothrombin proteins are available as antigens, and antibody products include anti-human factor H, factor I, fibrinogen, fibronectin, plasminogen, prothrombin, thrombin, and von Willebrand factor.
