Checkpoint Immunotherapy Response Described in Tumors with Gene Fusion-Based Neoantigens

Apr 22, 2019
|
staff reporter

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A team from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and the University of Gothenburg have demonstrated that new antigens formed from gene fusion events can prompt a T cell immune response against head and neck cancers and other tumor types, raising the possibility of using checkpoint blockade immunotherapy to treat some fusion-positive tumors.

ctDNA MRD Detection and Personalized Oncogenomic Analysis in Colorectal Cancer

Sponsored by
Roche

This webinar will discuss findings from the study, in which molecular residual disease (MRD) was assessed using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) without prior mutational knowledge in oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This study also investigated urine as an alternative analyte for ctDNA MRD detection.
