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.

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

May 31, 2019—The Food and Drug Administration cleared the Cobas TV/MG test for use on the Cobas 6800/8800 systems for the detection of Trichomonas vaginalis and/or Mycoplasma genitalium DNA in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Laboratories can now simultaneously process from a single sample a combination of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Mycoplasma genitalium.
May 2019—Roche presented at the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting the initial results from a phase one-b study evaluating the efficacy and safety for the combination of ipatasertib, Tecentriq (atezolizumab) and chemotherapy (paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane [paclitaxel albumin-bound particles for injectable suspension]) as a first-line treatment option for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer.
May 2019—Roche and Spark Therapeutics entered into a definitive merger agreement for Roche to fully acquire Spark Therapeutics for about $4.3 billion.

January 2019—The FDA has accepted Roche’s supplemental biologics license application and granted priority review to the company’s Tecentriq in combination with Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel, Celgene) for the initial treatment of people with PD-L1-positive, metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
Nov. 29, 2018—Roche announced the worldwide launch of the Ventana pan-TRK (EPR17341) Assay, an automated in vitro diagnostic immunohistochemistry assay to detect tropomyosin receptor kinase proteins in cancer. The CE IVD/U.S. class I assay is designed to detect C-terminal protein expression, which allows for the detection of TRK-fusion as well as wild-type protein expression. “As the first test of its kind, the Ventana pan-TRK (EPR17341) Assay provides an important new tool to help us better understand the role of TRK protein
