Episode 4: Tissue issues - Overcoming sample limitations for PD-L1 testing

In the fourth episode of the “Dialogues in CDx” podcast series, we explore the issue of sample limitations and how pathologists can address them when performing PD-L1 testing. Two leaders in gastrointestinal pathology join the host Scott W. Boyer in an engaging discussion of the main challenges and solution strategies.  Dr. Mar Iglesias Coma is Head of the Pathology Department at Hospital del Mar in Barcelona and specializes in gastrointestinal pathology. Since 2008, Dr. Iglesias has served as an associate professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Pathology, and is a contributor to multiple innovation projects, particularly within the fields of digital pathology, tools for multidisciplinary tumor committees, biomarkers, and laboratory applications.  Also joining the conversation is Professor Manuel Rodriguez-Justo, a consultant in gastrointestinal pathology and haematopathology at University College London Hospitals as well as a Professor of Onco-Pathology at UCL-Cancer Institute.  Professor Rodriguez-Justo has implemented molecular pathways and biomarker testing in gastrointestinal cancers and is involved in designing and developing multiple national and multicenter trials.  This podcast series is part of the educational resources supporting the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay.
