Soluble cytokine biomarkers are the master regulators of cell-to-cell communication-- the means by which one cell tells another what to do or where to go. Determining the biomarker signature...
While circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) and to some extend CTCs from blood are routinely used as analyte in liquid biopsy cancer research applications, circulating cell-free RNA (ccfRNA) ha...
Multiplex detection of oncogenic mutations using LNA-based assays on the QIAcuity digital PCR system Digital PCR (dPCR) enables specific and sensitive detection of genetic alterations in onc...
The continued rapid expansion of immunotherapies, including both in vivo and ex vivo therapeutics, has driven the development and adoption of novel tools to study, asses and understand these...
Martin highlights various factors impacting molecular analysis from FFPE samples and key challenges and considerations while working with this precious yet challenging sample type. Learning...
Antibodies have become one of the most important tools in life science research, allowing the detection, quantitation, and determination of changes in proteins and other molecules with respe...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is used to determine spatial relationships where we can identify the localization of target proteins in specific regions and cells of a tissue. IHC has been the go...
DATE: October 8, 2020 TIME: 1:00pm PDT Microsatellite instability (MSI) has evolved as a marker of potential hereditary cancer risk and is now a tissue agnostic immune biomarker with a broad...
Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) and the known Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) are significant drivers in the development of non-small-cell lung cancer...
Individuals of under-represented minority ancestry are at disproportional risk for higher incidence and mortality rates for particular cancers. The unequal burden of cancer in certain racial...
DATE: October 8, 2020 TIME: 7:00am PDT, 10:00am EDT, 4:00pm CEST How often do you pipette in your cell culture lab every day? Usually, we do it so often that we tend stop thinking about ho...
Every patient is different and so is every tumor! The term “personalized oncology” today is largely associated with sequencing approaches. Current publications proof more and mor...
Background: Healthcare access (HCA) encompasses five important dimensions: Affordability, Availability, Accessibility, Accommodation and Acceptability. Published studies of cancer typically...
Cancer disparities among persons of African descent are driven by both biological and nonbiological factors. There is evidence in breast cancer that psychosocial factors (environment, socioe...
Changes in transcriptional regulation are thought to be one of the key drivers of carcinogenesis. Although next-generation sequencer revolutionized transcriptome analysis, there are limitati...
Learning Objectives: 1. To provide an overview of relevant hereditary cancer syndromes 2. To encourage providers to obtain a thorough family history 3. To educate providers about available r...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the evolving epidemiology of prostate cancer in the the US and globally, and the excess burden of disease borne by men of African ancestry 2. Describe the...
Join Branden Hopkinson, Product Marketing Manager at Visiopharm, who will talk about using AI classifiers to find patterns in your images and which artificial intelligence method will work b...
Cancer is a multifactorial disease, and its genesis and progression are extremely complex. The scope of precision oncology is rapidly expanding to address previously undruggable targets. The...
Tumor phenotypes are dictated not only by the neoplastic cell component, but also by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is inherently immuno-suppressive, is equipped to hamper effector...
Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) has increasingly been applied to the treatment of small renal masses. Because of space limitations and the size of the robot at the patient side, the standa...
This webinar covers our latest solutions for improved culture of primary and xenotransplanted tumor cells. Get insights into dissociation of fresh tumor samples into viable single-cell suspe...
This lecture will encompass the learning experience I have had over my 14,000 RALP cases. We will present an evidence based prospective data collection and analysis of RALP outcomes. We will...
Immune therapy approaches are being used in many different solid cancers today including clear cell renal carcinoma (mccRCC) and metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. Over the past few years i...
