ORLANDO – Older AML patients are not typically offered germline genetic testing to assess their inherited risk for myeloid malignancies. However, such testing may provide an opportunity to manage cancer risk in families, as well as evaluate relatives' suitability for donating stem cells, the results of a study presented at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting suggest.

Clinical Utility of Liquid Biopsy for the Detection of T790M to Guide Lung Cancer Treatment Strategy

This webinar will discuss a study that set to assess the efficacy and safety of osimertinib in EGFR T790M positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients identified by using plasma sample and cobas EGFR Mutation test v2. This is the first prospective study to use liquid biopsy upfront to evaluate osimertinib efficacy.

Liquid Biopsy-based Molecular Risk Stratification of ALK-mutated Lung Cancer Patients

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with ALK rearrangements are treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which often leads to prolonged overall survival. However, treatment resistance will almost inevitably occur, and the disease remains incurable.
