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.

AMP case report: Lung micropapillary adenocarcinomas revisited

September 2023—CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. AMP members write the reports using clinical cases from their own practices that show molecular testing’s important role in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. The following report comes from Henry Ford Hospital. If you would like to submit a case report, please send an email to the AMP at amp@amp.org. For more information about the AMP and all previously published case reports, visit www.amp.org.

Genetic counseling within the laboratory: For oncology cases, lab’s consult service plugs gap

September 2023—What happens when an oncologist cannot confidently determine what type of genetic test to order for their patient? Where can a provider turn if they do not know whether a genetic variant is clinically actionable? As genetic testing becomes a more integral part of personalized medicine and health care in general, there is a growing need to bridge the gap between those skilled in molecular diagnostics and those on the patient-facing side of care. In response to this need, the Center for Integrated Diagnostics (CID), a high-complexity molecular diagnostics laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital, created its Consultation Service.

Low level limbo in HER2 breast cancer

August 2023—Seemingly channeling the inspiration of Magritte and his famous pipe, pathologists are painting a new picture of what has long been an everyday object in their own world: HER2. To paraphrase the master: Ceci n’est pas facile. For years, HER2 testing in breast cancer has seemed self-evident, ever since the HER2-targeted therapy trastuzumab and its companion diagnostic arrived on the scene a quarter of a century ago. Pathologists became comfortable using immunohistochemistry to identify 3+ cases and turning to in situ hybridization techniques to sort through less obvious ones. But early last summer, a variant of the drug, trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd), shook up that routine. When researchers presented results from the Destiny-Breast04 study at the 2022 ASCO annual meeting, showing that T-DXd significantly improves survival in so-called HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, attendees responded with a minutes-long standing ovation. They then returned from the meeting like evangelicals from the revival tent.

For patients, demystifying pathology reports

August 2023—With patient access to pathology reports now common via online portals, the question some have asked is what can be done to make them easier for patients to understand.

 

Few but notable— new accreditation checklist changes

August 2023—Climate control, calculation verification, block retention, and histocompatibility section director (technical supervisor) qualifications are among the areas in which laboratories can expect to see revisions in the new edition of the CAP laboratory accreditation checklists, to be released this month.

In anatomic pathology labs, a balancing act

August 2023—Anatomic pathology laboratories—the pressures, the promise of technology to alleviate them, and the seemingly unprecedented rates of change. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle gathered pathologists and company representatives online on June 21 to talk about it all. From pathologist coverage to IT, from tumor boards to questions job candidates in pathology should ask, here’s what they told us.

New cassette printer a standout? Users think so

August 2023—No jams, downtime, or lost time. Plenty of savings, speed, and employee satisfaction. Users of what General Data calls its next-generation cassette printer for histology laboratories say they’ve seen all that and more.

AMP case report: Small intragenic structural variants in SATB2-associated syndrome

CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. AMP members write the reports using clinical cases from their own practices that show molecular testing’s important role in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. The following report comes from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Cytopathology in focus: How to approach cytology of unknown primary

August 2023—We discuss in this article a common problem that all cytopathologists come across frequently in their practice: tumors of unknown primary origin involving body fluids and other sites. Metastatic tumor cells can disseminate and colonize discontinuous secondary body sites.1 Such tumor metastases may be the patient’s initial presenting complaint to a family physician for deep-seated tumor primaries such as ovaries, pancreas, liver, and certain non-obstructive gastrointestinal tumors.
