TORONTO, Dec. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Discover an innovative webinar exploring a novel single-cell method for breast cancer multiomics, linking genetic variations, copy number changes and gene expressions with focused panels. While the information obtained from whole genome sequencing (WGS) studies is a clear gold standard for discovery-based sequencing, current sequencing costs and informatics challenges frequently diminish WGS usage. Instead, applications focus on exonic spaces, particularly druggable targets. The majority of these are small, focused panels — resulting in a significant resolution gap between comprehensive WGS and these focal panels.

Key Points: 
  • In this free webinar, explore a new method detailing genetic insights into breast cancer, enabling precise assessment of variations, gene expressions and targeted proteins at a single-cell level.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Research findings being presented at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition highlight new treatment approaches that are enabling patients to live longer or better, judicious uses of older treatment approaches, and how a powerful, relatively new prognostic tool is helping identify patients who are more or less likely to benefit from both older and newer treatments.

Key Points: 
  • Two other studies presented in this session spotlight ways in which a novel prognostic tool is demonstrating its value across a range of blood cancers.
  • The researchers used MRD to determine how long patients in the targeted-agents group should continue treatment.
  • These cells develop into specialized blood cells, such as red and white blood cells and platelets, that also carry the mutation.
  • By comparison, progression-free survival (PFS) for patients receiving the standard of care was 76.8% with a death rate of 7%.
