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.

AMP case report: Adult B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, BCR-ABL1-like

April 2021—A 71-year-old female with a history of asthma and hypertension initially presented to her local hospital complaining of shortness of breath. She was found to be pancytopenic with severe anemia (hemoglobin 5 g/dL). She was subsequently transferred to a tertiary care facility for further evaluation. Bone marrow biopsy revealed a hypercellular marrow composed of 72 percent blasts. Flow cytometric analysis revealed a B-lymphoblast immunophenotype with expression of CD34, dim CD45, CD19, CD79a, CD22, HLA-DR, TDT, CD200, CD33, and dim CD13.

Compass points chart the pandemic

September 2020—Between a rock and a hard place. Trying to stay ahead, trying to build inventory. Chasing multiple new testing requests. Anticipating influenza. That’s where laboratory leaders said their labs were in early August when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle convened members of the Compass Group on Zoom to share their pandemic experiences. They shared surprise, too, that the situation is what it is: “Not a clue in my mind that this would go past the springtime,” said Stan Schofield, president of NorDx and senior VP, MaineHealth. McGonnagle asked them about the diversion of supplies, the coming flu season, IT support, lessons and long-term changes, and more.

Real-time QC: on course for prime time?

September 2020—Bill Gates was just 10 years old and the Beatles were still playing live concerts when the concept of patient-based real-time quality control was proposed in 1965. At the time, patient-based real-time QC (PBRTQC) was based on the “average of normals,” a precursor of moving averages.

Oh, the places you’ll go when flu season hits

September 2020—The twinned challenge of testing for SARS-CoV-2 and the upcoming influenza season has a bit of The Cat in the Hat energy running through it. How does one manage to keep Thing One and Thing Two from creating unmitigated chaos? Maybe one doesn’t, not completely. A pandemic-based flu season will by its very nature be protean.

What’s new in latest transfusion medicine checklist

September 2020—Strong quality management, patient safety, and conformity with regulations are at the heart of the new and revised requirements in the 2020 CAP accreditation program transfusion medicine checklist, released in June.

Juan Rosai, ‘master of the neoplastic universe’

September 2020—Great mentors, once passed, live on in the ideas, memories, and dreams of their students. For those like me, lucky enough to have been a student of Juan Rosai, MD, and to have heard him speak, the experience will never be forgotten.

Why do universal HRD testing in ovarian cancer?

September 2020—Genetic testing in ovarian cancer has a therapeutic implication that will aid in developing a treatment plan, and it is pathologists who should take the lead in creating the testing protocol, said Samuel Caughron, MD, pathologist, president, and CEO of MAWD Pathology Group, in a recent CAP TODAY webinar. Dr. Caughron explained the rationale for universal homologous recombination deficiency testing in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The webinar, made possible by a medical sponsorship from AstraZeneca, is at <a href=”https://www.captodayonline.com”>www.captodayonline.com</a>.

Behind book on professionalism: ‘we can do better’

September 2020—Professionalism in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is a new book now out from CAP Publications. It provides a basic understanding, educational and assessment tools, 105 cases specific to pathology and laboratory medicine, guidance in recognizing and addressing lapses in behavior, discussions on best practices and legal and ethical aspects, and much more.
Ronald E. Domen, MD, of Penn State College of Medicine and Hershey Medical Center, is editor. His co-editors are Richard M. Conran, MD, PhD, JD, of Eastern Virginia Medical School; Robert D. Hoffman, MD, PhD, of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine; Cindy B. McCloskey, MD, of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center; and Suzanne Zein-Eldin Powell, MD, of Houston Methodist Hospital.

Targeting immune signaling checkpoints in AML

September 2020—Acute myeloid leukemia was one of the first diseases for which T cells were incorporated into the therapeutic paradigm, in the form of allogeneic stem cell transplant and donor lymphocyte infusion. Why then are there no approved immune therapies, or more specifically checkpoint inhibitors, for this T-cell–sensitive disease?

AMP case report: Culture-negative endocarditis due to Tropheryma whipplei

September 2020—A 64-year-old male presented with worsening shortness of breath, dry cough, and bilateral leg edema. He had a history of diabetes mellitus type two, hypertension, seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, and tobacco and alcohol abuse. CT scan demonstrated bilateral pleural effusions, pulmonary edema, subsegmental atelectasis, mildly enlarged hilar lymph nodes, mild cardiomegaly with a small pericardial effusion, and liver cirrhosis with a liver nodule. A hepatitis panel demonstrated positive serology for hepatitis C virus infection.
