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 2024—While Dr. Seuss’ assertion that “the more that you read, the more things you will know” is generally accurate, it doesn’t address the fact that how information is presented affects comprehension, a truism that is not lost on Edward Klatt, MD, who knows whereof he speaks when it comes to sharing information on patient portals.
February 2024—The key to using ChatGPT and other large language models effectively in pathology is understanding not only what they are designed to do but, just as importantly, what they are not designed to do, says Eric Glassy, MD, medical director at Affiliated Pathologists Medical Group, Rancho Dominguez, Calif., and past chair of the CAP Information Technology Leadership Committee.
January 2024—When the medical microbiology laboratory at Yale-New Haven Hospital makes operational changes, it uses data analytics to monitor their impact. Yet the process of implementing laboratory analytics can be challenging.
December 2023—While many dismiss the saying “Nothing lasts forever” with a simple shrug, those three words may cause angst in those anticipating the demise of their laboratory information system.
November 2023—“The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas,” according to Linus Pauling, a chemist and chemical engineer who, among other accomplishments, helped create a form of synthetic plasma. But when there is no structure in place to nurture those ideas, the result can be “a lot of people focused in a lot of different directions,” says Sky Soom, innovation analyst with Sonora Quest Laboratories.
Ocotber 2023—Health care technology companies, by and large, are eager to share product metrics—that is, standalone product performance—with potential pathology lab clients but less eager to share how those technologies may impact laboratory workflow and decision-making.
September 2023—The musician Frank Zappa said, “One size does not fit all,” a declaration that counters the claims of many clothing manufacturers and holds true for a variety of products, including, one could argue, digital scanners.
August 2023—How often do pathology departments underbill insurance companies for their services? And how much money do they lose because of underbilling mistakes? A prototype dashboard at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center aims to answer those questions by using natural-language processing and machine-learning algorithms to flag pathology cases that are underbilled.
July 2023—The Permanente Medical Group, Oakland, Calif., has launched the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research Augmented Intelligence in Medicine and Healthcare Initiative Coordinating Center, or AIM-HI. The program will support a national research effort focused on evaluating artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithms to enhance diagnostic decision-making in health care.
June 2023—The time it takes to read through numerous pathology reports to find nuggets of critical information buried within narrative sections of text is tantamount to the time it takes for carbon atoms to turn into diamonds—or so it may seem to those tasked with digging for medical information.
