The oncology landscape is rapidly evolving, and precision medicine has become a vital area of research. Early targeted therapies focused on just a few genetic mutations and cancer types, but our ever-expanding knowledge of genetic drivers has revealed promising biomarkers across a growing range of tumor lines. The rapid evolution from a one-size-fits-all approach has led to an increased focus on molecular profiling to match genomic alterations with targeted therapies that optimize patient outcomes. Join us for a Grand Rounds program led by Dr. Maria E. Arcila, focused on best practices for biomarker testing in breast, non-small cell lung, and gastric cancer. Important case scenarios will be presented, along with expert guidance on overcoming common testing barriers in the community oncology setting.
- Apply appropriate methods and best practices for biomarker testing in breast, non-small cell lung, and gastric cancers
- Utilize strategies to overcome barriers to biomarker testing
- Identify the role and place of biomarker testing in treating breast, non-small cell lung, and gastric cancers
