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.

Webinar presenters David Braxton, MD, Chief of Molecular Pathology Services, Hoag Family Cancer Institute & Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, and Carlos Becerra, MD, Research Director for Medical Oncology, Margaret Given Larkin Endowed Chair for Developmental Cancer Therapeutics, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.

September 2013

Q & A, 9/13

September 2013—Our clinicians are asking about testing for IgG4-related disease. What role does IgG4 immunohistochemical staining play? IgG4-related disease is a recently recognized fibroinflammatory condition that may affect a wide variety of organ systems, producing mass lesions and generally responding to immunosuppressive therapy. The pancreas, salivary/lacrimal glands, and kidney are frequently affected, but almost any tissue may be involved, including aorta, pleura, retroperitoneum, and lymph nodes.

Newsbytes, 9/13

September 2013—Lab test data in the EMR: why what you see may not be reality: Blind faith is seldom the solution. And it’s definitely not the answer when it comes to accepting the capabilities of your hospital’s electronic medical record system.

Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 9/13

September 2013—Quantification of the Ki67 proliferative index in neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic system; Clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study of intrapulmonary SFTs; Papillary mucinous metaplasia of the endometrium as a precursor of endometrial mucinous adenocarcinoma; Expression of miRNAs and PTEN in endometrial specimens; Molecular investigation of lymph nodes in colon cancer patients using OSNA; Thymidylate synthase expression and molecular alterations in adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung; Microdensitometry of osteopontin as a prognostic biomarker in colorectal carcinoma tissue microarrays; Evaluation of pathological and molecular features in clinically aggressive dermatofibromas; Interobserver agreement in the reporting of colorectal polyp pathology by bowel cancer screening pathologists

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

September 2013—Routine coagulation testing for patients presenting to the ED with chest pain; Prospective comparison of curbside versus formal consultations; Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease with a Mediterranean diet; Quick study: a case of Gamma heavy chain disease

Cancelled lab tests—study analyzes why

September 2013—A handful, a fraction of a percent, a tiny portion. In most institutions, that’s about how many tests are cancelled after they’ve been ordered and a specimen has been sent to the laboratory. But even that small number can have significant quality implications. The authors of the Q-Probes study, ”Reasons for Test Cancellation,” looked at more than a million specimen accessions at several dozen institutions, to get a fix on why tests are being cancelled and to gain insight into how laboratories can bring that number down. As the study makes clear, there is definitely room for improvement.

Poor testing, dosing dog fetomaternal bleeds

September 2013—If Mark Brecher, MD, were compiling a greatest hits list of medical successes of the 20th century, there’s one advance he’d be sure to include: the introduction of Rh immune globulin in the late 1960s to prevent the Rh sensitization of Rh-negative mothers who deliver an Rh-positive baby.

ALK-positive NSCLC—patient’s story opens eyes

September 2013—For good or bad, Matthew Hiznay seems to be an odds beater.

First, a minority of lung cancer patients have never smoked. He’s one of them, having been diagnosed with late-stage non-small-cell lung cancer in August 2011. Obviously, that’s the bad.

With molecular testing, better infection control

September 2013—Rapid and accurate molecular assays have gradually infiltrated the field of bacterial diagnosis. For several potentially lethal nosocomial pathogens—Clostridium difficile, vancomycin-resistant enterococcus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus—FDA-approved molecular assays are making a difference. Not only have they improved the accuracy of diagnosis, benefiting patients and clinicians, they have also been a boon to infection control practitioners.

For prenatal NGS labs, new accreditation requirements

September 2013—With the 2013 edition of the Laboratory Accreditation Program checklist, the College moves to a new level in its effort to ensure the highest-quality practices in clinical laboratories’ use of next-generation DNA sequencing.

AMP case report: aCGH as a diagnostic aid in a childhood Spitzoid melanoma

September 2013—CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. Here, this month, is the third such case. (See the February 2013 issue for the first, on multilocus sequencing for rapid identification of molds, and last month’s issue for the second, on the importance of screening for Lynch syndrome in patients with endometrial cancer.)
