Stay informed on developments in cancer and oncology diagnosis, prevention and treatment through these curated webinars. As the race toward a cure for cancer continues, advances in cancer research are constantly revealed as innovation in the field of oncology progresses.
In this webinar, we present a case study on Lynch syndrome (LS), a hereditary condition characterized by a high risk of colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and other neoplasia that typica...
The introduction of robot-assisted surgical technology into urological practice, has introduced new horizons for reducing the morbidity and enhancing the efficacy of surgery. Open radical cys...
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...
De novo gene synthesis and protein expression are established technologies that can give access to nearly any target DNA or protein sequence, allowing for engineering of biologics. In this p...
The 21st Century Cures Act, along with the FDA's Real-World Evidence (RWE) framework, has established a foundation for incorporating real-world data (RWD) into regulatory decision-making...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program designed to perform operations typical of human intelligence, such as self-learning. AI is taking over different fields in science; we alre...
Variation in gene expression among cell types, tissues, and organisms is commonly examined by reverse transcription quantitative PCR, or RT-qPCR. In this process, RNA is isolated from sample...
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...
The Keynote Address will highlight eight actions that individuals can take to reduce their cancer risk. These recommendations span lifestyle modifications, cancer screening and molecular prev...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important technology that reveals gene expression differences between different cell types. Yet scRNA-seq data can be challenging to analyze and...
Human solid tumors, like breast cancers, represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that is best demonstrated through many differences in clinical outcomes within homogenously treated patie...
Tumors invade surrounding tissue as cancer progresses, but the heterogeneity of cell types at the tumor-stroma interface and the complexity of their interactions has hampered mechanistic ins...
Engineered immune cell therapies offer the promise of more tailored interventions than traditional systemic checkpoint blockades, but so far remain ineffective across the majority of clinica...
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...
Natural killer (NK) cells, immune cells with an innate ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, have emerged as attractive effectors in immunotherapy, owing in large part to their ab...
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...
Copy-number alterations and chromosomal translocations are widespread in cancer and frequently causing oncogenic mutations that drive tumorigenesis and therapy resistance. Despite their preva...
Informed consent (IC) is a fundamental aspect of ethical clinical research, safeguarding the rights and well-being of participants. It empowers participants with comprehensive information ab...
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...
The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread all over the world and raised global concerns. Rapid and early detection of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the ca...
Molecular diagnostic tests are currently used for infectious disease testing due to the superior sensitivity and specificity that can be obtained. Due to the success that has been obtained w...
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer in children and adolescents. While current treatments have resulted in 85-90% cure, the remaining 10-15% cases represent the leading cau...
There are known health outcome disparities among those with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) of minority race and those living with adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) (rural...
Perineural invasion (PNI) is a well-established factor of poor prognosis in multiple cancer types, yet its mechanism remains unclear. By using a multi-omics approach, overlay of multiple spa...
Background: Healthcare access (HCA) encompasses five important dimensions: Affordability, Availability, Accessibility, Accommodation and Acceptability. Published studies of cancer typically...
The lack of diverse participation in clinical research and trials has been a long-standing national problem that has been brought to the forefront due to COVID 19. In cancer research less th...
Radiation therapy is an important cornerstone of oncologic therapy but is feared to the point of intimidation by too many patients. Yet by the end of treatment, most patients find the experi...
