#aacr19: Physicist vs. physician: Digitizing clinical assessment and using it for evidence-based prediction of outcomes

Posted on March 31, 2019 by kuhnadmin

Presenters: Peter Kuhn, PhD and Jorge Nieva, MD. University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA Abstract: The Current Status of Tumor BiomarkersThe past decade has seen tremendous advances in cancer care driven largely by better understanding of cancer genetics and biology. Characterization of the DNA changes driving cancer formation is now routine and it seems …

#aacr19: Deconvoluting Tumor Heterogeneity Using Single-Cell Genomics

Posted on March 29, 2019 by kuhnadmin

Presenter James B. Hicks, PhD. University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA Description Cancer is a genetic disease that evolves over time and in response to treatment, whether in model systems or in the setting of human disease. It is therefore imperative to create tools to assess genomic and transcriptomic complexity in order to understand …

#AACR19: Morphologic and genomic characterization of circulating tumor cells in patients with ERBB2 mutant HER2 non-amplified metastatic breast cancer treated with neratinib

Posted on March 29, 2019 by kuhnadmin

USC scientists Dr. Stephanie Shishido will present results from a small cohort study from a clinical trial in which metastatic breast cancer patients with a rare form of the disease (ERBB2 mutated, HER2 non-amplified) were treated with the combination of Neratinib and Fulvestrant. This work focuses on the use of a blood sample for a …
