Topics were selected by Timothy O’Leary on the basis of email dialogue with members of the Association for Molecular Pathology who are also members of the USCAP, initiated by a posting in the CHAMP listserve, and considering topics previously discussed in this companion meeting. The topics provide updates for practicing anatomic pathologists on advances in molecular pathology that have implications for the selection of targeted therapies on several different tumor types. The objective is to provide updates on the molecular pathology of colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, and acute myeloblastic leukemia that have implications for the selection of targeted therapies.
