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.

Billing headwinds grow stronger for labs

April 2024—In billing for pathology and laboratory services, the hurdles are only getting higher. Narrow networks, prior authorizations, claims denials. Payers “have deeper pockets and figure they can outlast us,” said Joe Saad, MD, chair of the CAP Council on Government and Professional Affairs, in a Feb. 14 roundtable led online by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. He and others talked about AI, digital pathology codes and molecular Z-Codes, biomarker testing, and unity within the laboratory community.

How Duke’s molecular diagnostics lab retains and trains

April 2024—Too few people, too much to do. In that, Duke Health’s molecular diagnostics laboratory is no different from any other laboratory. But competing for staff on the basis of money alone is out. “The reality is that in today’s labor market, any molecular technologist can always find a job that pays more,” says Barbara Anderson, PhD, MB(ASCP)CM, analytical specialist in Duke’s molecular diagnostics laboratory, Division of Molecular Pathology, Genetics, and Genomics.

AMP case report: Use of molecular techniques to solve a challenging case of primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma

April 2024—Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) is a newly recognized, distinctive subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This low-grade lymphoma predominantly presents as papules or nodules within the skin of middle-aged adults. Formerly grouped under the extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) category, the World Health Organization’s fifth edition classification of hematolymphoid tumors now recognizes PCMZL as a distinct entity.

A how-to guide to quality management in clinical labs

CAP Publications released this month its newest book, Quality Management in Clinical Laboratories: Optimizing Patient Care Through Continuous Quality Improvement. It is a second edition; the first was published in 2005. Twenty-one contributors cover everything from laboratory staff and informatics to all phases of testing and the laboratory quality management plan.

Game’s afoot in bladder cancer research

March 2024—Like identifying the shift in battle that leads to victory, or the battle that wins the war—let alone declaring a war’s ultimate victor—it’s hard to gauge the whens, ifs, and hows that mark progress in medicine. For those who are deeply rooted in bringing advances to testing in urothelial cancers, current research is flourishing and flummoxing. In early and late stage, both for bladder and upper tract disease, recently approved therapies are leading to better outcomes for patients. More immunotherapies and antibody-drug conjugates are on their way, and with them come new options for testing. But as with any cancer, researchers follow numerous promising paths, knowing that some will dead-end and others will succeed primarily (albeit usefully) in raising more questions. Nevertheless, they continue to rally the work forward, with multiple breaches, and Agincourt, ever in sight. For experts such as David McConkey, PhD, progress will best be measured by how regularly precision makes its way into the clinical setting.

In diabetes patients, biomarker use for early-stage HF

March 2024—For patients with type 2 diabetes, the cardiac biomarkers are a better predictor of early-stage heart failure than conventional risk prediction scores. “We need to use biomarkers,” says Petr Jarolim, MD, PhD.

Survey probes staff shortage in genomics labs

March 2024—From a technologist workforce perspective, clinical genomics laboratories are in trouble. “It’s truly a crisis,” said Marco Leung, PhD, clinical director of the Steve and Cindy Rasmussen Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

AP and CP reporting, from interfaces to IT wishes

March 2024—Anatomic and clinical pathology reporting—what’s working, what’s missing. Three pathologists (all board certified in informatics) and representatives of three information system companies met online Dec. 19 with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle to talk about reporting needs and what’s optimal. The first half of their discussion was published in the February issue, with CAP TODAY’s guide to anatomic pathology computer systems. The second half begins here.

What’s going on? Interpreting urine toxicology cases

March 2024—For urine toxicology screening, immunoassays are automated and rapid but have variable sensitivity and specificity and results are considered presumptive. Mass spectrometry, used for confirmation, has superior sensitivity and specificity but is labor-intensive and slow and requires significant expertise.
