Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) Online Application/Nomination for Volunteer Positions

 

Call for Volunteers: HR+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer Education Working Group – Deadline April 28th

If you are a molecular pathologist who runs a clinical laboratory and frequently works with breast cancer specimens, this working group may be for you.

AMP Education is developing a summer webinar series focused on best practices in molecular testing for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The content of the webinar will include the following topics:

  • Introduction to molecular testing mechanisms used in MBC (e.g., dPCR, ddPCR, RT-PCR, qPCR, NGS)
  • Pre-analytic considerations (e.g., tumor purity) for MBC molecular testing
  • The pathologist’s role in molecular biomarker testing (send-out vs. in-house, multidisciplinary collaboration)
  • NCCN guidelines for tumor biomarker testing in MBC, with focus on PIK3CA, AKT1, PTEN, and ESR1, and related treatment options
  • Interpreting test results (liquid- and tissue-based samples)
  • Upcoming clinical trials with potential implications for diagnostic lab practice

The working group will meet regularly starting as soon as possible with a final delivery date of late summer/early Fall 2025. Deliverables will include at least two live webinars (format determined by the group), slide decks, knowledge check questions, and webpage content.
