NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Although it has been known for over a decade that two subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, have different prognoses and may respond differently to targeted treatment, routinely distinguishing between them has proved challenging.

Now, a team of researchers in France has developed an inexpensive classification method using a panel of 14 gene signatures and garden-variety lab equipment that may provide competition for commercial products being developed as companion diagnostics.

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

Sponsored by
Roche

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

Sponsored by
Roche

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.
