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.

February 2014—TissueMark, developed by Belfast-based digital pathology specialists PathXL, was launched at the 2013 annual meeting of the Association for Molecular Pathology. It analyzes the structural patterns in tissue samples and marks the boundaries of potentially cancerous sections for more detailed analysis.
February 2014—Empirical Bioscience, a company that produces high-grade PCR reagents and enzymes, has introduced rEVAlution qPCR Master Mix, an environmentally safe, ready-to-use hot start qPCR mixture specifically formulated with high-quality components to offer superior safety, speed, and signaling capabilities.
February 2014—Qiagen announced an agreement with Eli Lilly to develop and commercialize a molecular companion diagnostic paired with a novel Lilly oncology compound. This is the third co-development project by Qiagen and Lilly to create companion diagnostics.
February 2014—Integrated DNA Technologies launched the latest addition to its portfolio of next-generation sequencing products, xGen Universal Blocking Oligos. By incorporating these oligos into target-capture experiments, users can decrease the complexity and increase the throughput of their target-capture experiment without degrading performance.
February 2014—BioMérieux is moving forward with its comprehensive automation solution for reference or centralized molecular biology laboratories and has selected Life Technologies’ 7500 instruments as its preferred thermocyclers.
February 2014—Enzo Biochem published a study in Modern Pathology that shows a strong association between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and the presence of the herpesvirus saimiri virus, a virus native to squirrel monkeys. The breakthrough discovery of the IPF’s origin is expected to result in a clinical diagnostic that could lead to screening and diagnosis, and perhaps result in potential treatment, for this fatal disease.
February—Caris Life Sciences presented a study at the December 2013 CTCR-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on identifying potentially actionable therapeutic targets and clinical strategies for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The biomarker data used for the study were obtained using the company’s tumor profiling service, Caris Molecular Intelligence.
February 2014—Leica Biosystems announced a partnership with EyesFinder, a developer of visual search technology, to create decision support tools for pathologists.
February 2014—Myriad Genetics presented clinical data from a research study showing that its HRD (homologous recombination deficiency) test predicted platinum response in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (P=0.0003). The HRD score predicted, with a sensitivity of 100 percent, all of the patients who experienced a complete response after presurgical treatment with platinum. In addition, the results showed that the HRD score was generalizable across all breast cancer subtypes.
February—NanoString Technologies announced the availability of the Prosigna Breast Cancer Prognostic Gene Signature Assay beginning in the first quarter of this year.
