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.
Advances in cancer research have improved our understanding of the complex interactions between tumors, their microenvironment and the host immune response. The evolving research field of im...
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...
This session provides an introduction to the MiSeq i100 Series, the simplest, fastest benchtop sequencer. Giving a brief overview of the revolutionary technology that's been built into the n...
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...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized clinically by poor survival and mechanistically by KRAS- and autophagy-dependent growth. We and others previously demonstrated that i...
The promise of precision and personalized medicine is rooted in accurate, highly sensitive, and specific disease biomarkers. This is particularly true for cancer-a disease characterized by ma...
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...
Background: Pathologists have long recognized that the interaction between immune and tumour cells is critical in the development and progression of breast cancer. Studies have demonstrated...
In the last two decades, large amount of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and -omics data has been generated in the field of immuno-oncology. Generating hypotheses by analyzing hundreds if no...
Introduction: Despite the current declines in prostate cancer mortality, African Americans (AA) continue to experience a 60% higher incidence and are twice as likely to die in comparison to m...
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...

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...
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...
Personalized medicine has beomce a paradigm in lung cancer management; ~ 25–30% of advanced lung cancer patients could benefit from a targeted therapy. Several guidelines currently end...
To determine efficacy of specific complementary therapies to advance evidence-based, integrative healthcare, the complementary modality should first be introduced to stakeholders to determin...
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 microbiome signatures in the context of gynecologic cancers (endometrial and ovarian) and the potential for their clinical use will be discussed. The use of microfluidic technologies to i...
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...
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 majority of patients with advanced NSCLC do not respond to monotherapy with PD-1 axis inhibition, and more robust predictive biomarkers are needed. In this study, we assessed tumor sampl...
Targeted sequencing has many applications in cancer biomarker research, carrier screening and inherited disorders, drug development, mitochondrial DNA variant detection, human ID and paterni...
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...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows the simultaneous analysis of multiple genomic alterations with therapeutic implications, paving the way for precision medicine and transforming cancer...
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...
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...
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...
Advances in cancer research have improved our understanding of the complex interactions between tumors, their microenvironment and the host immune response. The evolving research field of im...
