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

March 2025—Thermo Fisher Scientific has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Applied Biosystems TaqPath COVID-19, Flu A, Flu B, RSV Select Panel. The real-time PCR-based multiplex test covers the detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, and respiratory syncytial virus and enables the detection of co-infection. The panel runs on the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Dx real-time PCR system.
March 2025—Q-linea announced that it has signed a second commercial contract for its ASTar instrumentation in the United States. Installation and training in a multihospital system will take place by the end of the first quarter this year. The quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility test system uses high-speed, time-lapse microscopy imaging of organisms in positive blood culture samples to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of specific antimicrobial-organism combinations.
March 2025—MRC Holland announced that five of its SALSA MLPA assays for the detection of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome have been CE marked for in vitro diagnostic use under the EU in vitro diagnostic regulation 2017/746.
March 2025—Labcorp announced that its Labcorp Plasma Complete is now available for clinical use. The assay is a ctDNA-based comprehensive genomic profiling solution for patients with advanced solid tumors. It detects genomic alterations in circulating tumor DNA across 521 genes and covers established and emerging biomarkers associated with FDA-approved therapies, guideline-driven treatments, and clinical trial eligibility.
March 2025—Tasso, a provider of clinical-grade blood collection solutions, and ARUP Laboratories announced they have entered into a partnership to develop and operationalize high-quality, at-home blood testing services to support clinical research.
March 2025—The BD board of directors authorized BD management to pursue a plan to separate BD’s Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions business from the rest of BD.

The decision was the result of a business portfolio evaluation, launched by BD in early 2024.
March 2025—Roche announced that its Elecsys sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for preeclampsia has received FDA 510(k) clearance. The preeclampsia ratio supports the management of pregnant patients who have a singleton pregnancy and is intended to help clinicians stratify hospitalized patients into low- and high-risk categories for developing severe preeclampsia within two weeks of presentation.
March 2025—Roche unveiled a proprietary sequencing by expansion (SBX) technology that offers ultra-rapid, high-throughput sequencing that is flexible and scalable for a broad range of applications, including whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing, and RNA sequencing. The novel sequencing approach uses a sophisticated biochemical process to encode the sequence of a target nucleic acid molecule (DNA or RNA) into a measurable surrogate polymer called an Xpandomer.
March 2025—Cision Vision has introduced its InVision imaging system and Vision Board. The technologies aim to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of lymph node dissections at the gross bench.
March 2025—Roche announced that its Elecsys sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for preeclampsia has received FDA 510(k) clearance.
