Student-led workshops introduce pathology to peers

August 2026—A series of hands-on or role-playing workshops created by pathology student interest group leaders at a California medical school introduced pathology to dozens of students who would have otherwise completed their curriculum without that exposure.

AMP case report: Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia in a patient with BRCA1-positive breast cancer and a DDX41 possibly germline variant

August 2026—The 2022 World Health Organization and International Consensus Classification frameworks recognize several well-defined myeloid neoplasm categories that arise in the setting of inherited genetic predisposition. These entities are grouped according to associated clinical features and include myeloid neoplasms with germline predisposition in the absence of antecedent platelet abnormalities or organ dysfunction (e.g. CEBPA, DDX41, and TP53), those associated with inherited platelet disorders (e.g. RUNX1, ANKRD26, and ETV6), and disorders linked to underlying or potential organ dysfunction.

Cytopathology in focus—Predictive markers in cytopathology: programmed death ligand-1

August 2026—Although cytologists and cytopathologists expend considerable effort in screening, risk stratification, diagnosis, staging, and prognostication, clinicians are increasingly demanding ancillary testing that predicts response or resistance to the broad range of therapeutic agents available to them. In advanced-stage non-small cell lung carcinoma, these therapies include tyrosine kinase and other small-molecule inhibitors, bispecific antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates.

Cytopathology in focus—What sets pediatric cytology apart?

August 2026—Pediatric pathology remains a relatively small subspecialty within anatomic pathology. The American Board of Pathology since 1990 has issued only 648 subspecialty certificates in pediatric pathology, and between 2020 and 2024, only 14 to 21 candidates sat for the pediatric pathology certifying examination each year.

Time to improve preeclampsia screening

July 2026—Among its many peculiarities, medicine dwells in interstitial spaces—between seeing a problem and addressing it; between the (in)actions of one specialty and another; between practice and practice guidelines; between overtreatment and targeted treatment; between widespread access and boutique care.

Hematopathology’s move to the Fellowship Match

July 2026—When Neha Gupta, MD, attended a fellowship fair early in her second year of residency, she was caught off guard by the number of programs already accepting applications from her peers. It was only March, and she had been told she could apply for her fellowship in late summer.

Assessing neoadjuvant therapy response in lung resection specimens

July 2026—An International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer panel provided recommendations in 2020 on how to process lung cancer resection specimens and define pathologic response after neoadjuvant therapy. They were intended as guidance for clinical trials but offered as a suggestion for good clinical practice.

Grading, staging papillary urothelial carcinoma

July 2026—Grading of papillary urothelial carcinoma can sometimes be challenging because it requires categorizing discretely a continuous spectrum of tumors. In the view of Lara Harik, MD, discovering biomarkers that can predict progression would be an ideal solution for papillary urothelial carcinoma, especially for tumors that are difficult to grade. “Maybe the use of cell-free DNA in the near future,” she said, “could reveal which of these tumors are at risk for progression.”

New instruments, innovation as problem solvers

July 2026—Roche’s new Cobas Mass Spec solution will be on display this month at the ADLM meeting, as will Diasorin’s new Liaison Nes, Siemens Healthineers’ Atellica DT 250, and much more. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke online in late May with representatives of Roche, Diasorin, Sebia, and Siemens Healthineers about how their instruments will solve some of laboratories’ pressing problems. The conversation follows.
