Session 3: October 26, 2021 9:00 AM CDT

A Microsatellite Instability (MSI) Series

MSI has rapidly advanced as an important pan tumor biomarker associated with response to immune checkpoint inhibitors and the drive towards universal tumor testing. 

Join Session 3 to learn more about MSI from two esteemed speakers who will present on the following topics:

  • Performance of the industry's first and only PCR-based diagnostic kit for MSI characterization (FDA-cleared)
  • The most current clinical practice guidelines for MSI testing
  • MSI detection using PCR followed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) analysis
  • The clinical utility of the MSI biomarker for Lynch syndrome screening and immunotherapy treatment
  • Compare techniques used to measure MSI to current gold-standard methods

In addition to the presentations, you will have the opportunity to: 

  • Peruse our booth to view instrument demonstrations from our sample-to-answer workflow for MSI analysis
  • Connect with Promega Clinical Consultants and Medical Affairs representatives
  • View the presentations from Session 1 and 2 where our speakers discussed the history, testing strategies and current trends for MSI testing and why MSI status should be a universal testing approach
