Genomic Testing Update for Pathologists

Pathologists can help improve patient care by staying up to date on the most recent recommendations on genomic testing for solid tumors, which can be a challenge since this information changes frequently. In this CAPcast, Drs. Leilani Valdes and Sophia Yohe discuss some of the key changes in genomic testing for oncology specimens, as well as how changing cancer treatment paradigms are changing the role of the pathologist. Drs. Valdes and Yohe will be teaching a CAP19 course entitled, “Molecular Genomic Oncology for the Practicing Surgical Pathologist” on Sept. 23.
