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
Tuesday, June 9, 2026, 1:00–2:00 PM ET
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

November 2023—Few things in the laboratory can do so much at once: boost histotechnologist productivity, safeguard tissue, offer a career path and help retain staff, keep watch on test utilization, and reduce the number of calls to pathologists and turnaround time, all while advocating for the patient.
October 2023—For molecular testing in oncology, the choice is often fast or slow. PCR-based platforms are rapid, and comprehensive genomic profiling by next-generation sequencing is slower, and each has its pros and cons.
October 2023—Next-generation sequencing of tumor tissue has important implications in solid and hematologic malignancies because it can identify genomic variants that provide diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive information to guide clinical management. Variants identified on tumor sequencing can be classified as somatic (acquired after conception) or inherited through germline.
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.
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.
August 2023—Analyzing the nasal epigenome can shed light on viral infections, strain differences, and potentially infection severity, and for influenza B in particular the results are striking.
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.
July 2023—Bringing new technology into laboratories is important for pathology as a field and for patients—and only getting more difficult. “Each new wave of technology is more complicated than the last,” Jeremy Segal, MD, PhD, said at the USCAP meeting this spring.
July 2023—A germline GATA2 c.121C>G (p.P41A) variant in a patient with an unusual acute promyelocytic leukemia 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 Emory University School of Medicine. If you would like to submit a case report, please send an email to the AMP at amp@amp.org.

May 2023—Behold the common coin. Note its two sides, its easy flippability. Here is Joseph Pizzolato, MD, with the first coin toss. Given the expanded use of biomarkers with a variety of tumors, and constantly evolving assays, how hard is it for medical oncologists to navigate testing? “It’s not difficult at all now,” says a cheerful Dr. Pizzolato, medical director of the comprehensive therapeutic unit of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami Health System, as well as medical director of the Aventura satellite at Sylvester. With third-party companies integrating test ordering directly into electronic medical records, he adds, “It’s getting even easier to order tests and see the results.” Agreed, says his colleague Rhonda Yantiss, MD, director of surgical pathology, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. And therein lies the problem. “It’s kind of a mess,” she says. In practice, precision medicine is becoming both more and less precise.
