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.

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

September 2024—Guardant Health announced FDA approval of the company’s Shield blood test for colorectal cancer screening in adults who are 45 and older and at average risk for the disease. It is the first blood test to be approved by the FDA as a primary screening option for CRC and that meets performance requirements for Medicare coverage.
August 2024—BioPorto Diagnostics unveiled its ProNephro AKI (NGAL) test at ADLM 2024, July 28–Aug. 1, in Chicago. The FDA 510(k)-cleared test is the first acute kidney injury biomarker test cleared for pediatric use (ages 3 months through 21 years) in the United States.
August 2024—Horiba announced that it has expanded its compact hematology instrument range with the launch of three models now with erythrocyte sedimentation rate onboard. The Yumizen H550E (autoloader), H500E CT (closed tube), and H500E OT (open tube) offer combined testing for CBC with differential and ESR results from whole blood in 60 seconds.
August 2024—Machaon Diagnostics has updated its genetic panel for detecting hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The HLH genetic panel 3.0 sequences 32 genes to reflect the most current understanding of HLH in the scientific literature and includes UNC13D inversion. The panel has a turnaround time of 48 hours. Draw kits are available.
August 2024—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched its Exact Diagnostics GBS positive and negative run controls. The independent quality controls are intended to be used with group B streptococcus molecular assays for evaluating assay performance and testing operator proficiency.
August 2024—Sysmex America announced on July 9 that longtime health care executive Dan Zortman has been named the company’s new CEO.

August 2024—Qiagen has launched its QIAseq Multimodal DNA/RNA Lib Kit. The kit enables the preparation of DNA and RNA libraries for next-generation sequencing as well as downstream target enrichment based on hybrid capture from a single sample. It offers a streamlined and rapid workflow to generate whole genome and whole transcriptome sequencing libraries from a single sample by combining chemistry optimized for DNA and RNA simultaneously.
August 2024—MedTech Breakthrough announced that Epredia has been selected as the winner of best new technology solution—pathology for its SlideMate Laser printer in the 8th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program. The SlideMate Laser is designed for clinical laboratories and provides high-resolution, 600-dpi laser printing on microscope slides, enabling laboratories to include more identifying information directly on the tab of the slides. The technology can embed up to 50 characters in a barcode on each slide and offers on-demand and batch printing options. The laser printer’s software can be directly interfaced to a laboratory information system.
August 2024—BioMérieux announced that its Vitek Reveal AST system has received FDA 510(k) clearance. The modular system can deliver actionable results for Gram-negative bacteria directly from positive blood cultures in an average of 5.5 to 6 hours, enabling same-day treatment decision-making for patients suffering from bacteremic sepsis. The system is also CE marked under the in vitro diagnostic medical devices directive and in vitro diagnostic medical devices regulation in Europe.
August 2024—Diasorin announced it has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the company’s Liaison Plex Yeast Blood Culture assay, the second molecular multiplexing panel on the Liaison Plex.
