Tumor: is an abnormal mass of tissue that may be solid or fluid-filled. A tumor is not the same as cancer. Although, some tumors can develop into cancers. A tumor is a kind of lump or swelling and does not necessarily pose a health threat.

The difficulties in making an accurate diagnosis, the workload in terms of time and the small number of pathologists represent significant problems in laboratory routine. From this perspecti...
Measurable or minimal residual disease (MRD) is the presence of very small numbers of tumor cells which may remain in the body following treatment. MRD testing currently has multiple clinica...
Comprehensive Genomic profiling (CGP) is becoming standard of care in oncology. It allows clinicians to maximize clinical information from limited biopsy samples so that patients are matched...
Cancer immunotherapy approaches such as adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells or tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes have yielded promising results in hematological maligna...
Precision medicine aims to match the right therapy to the right patient at the right time, improving efficacy and reducing side effects. In this webinar, Dr. Hsu discusses his work to develo...
