Targeting therapy to each patient’s unique cancer
By Sharon Rosen 
Article by Sara Damore As DNA sequencing technology helps bring genetic factors driving disease into focus, researchers have developed new cancer therapies to target a patient’s unique cancer, especially for those who do not respond to standard therapy. Funda Meric-Bernstam, M.D., a physician-scientist at MD Anderson Cancer Center will speak on Decision Support for Precision […]

How does a genomic tumor board impact patient care?
The outcomes from a Mayo Clinic study published in Oncotarget found value in having an established genomic tumor board, and using genomics for certain patients. The experience of the Genomic Tumor Board has promoted an evolution in the practice according to Alan Bryce, M.D., a Mayo Clinic oncologist, and co-first author on the study. “There […]

IMPRESS study: maximizing immunotherapy with precision biomarkers to fight cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers are doing a deep dive at the molecular level to maximize the potential of immunotherapy to fight cancer. Immunotherapy — using your body’s immune system to identify and attack cancer cells — is a promising treatment for many types of cancer. But it’s expensive, associated with potential side effects, and doesn’t work […]

Using genomics to target cancer therapy
By Sharon Rosen
One size does not fit all – especially when it comes to cancer treatment. We are each unique – with our own biological and genetic characteristics. Advances in genomic technology have led to the discovery that each type of cancer is also unique, with its own molecular characteristics. Researchers in the Mayo Clinic Center for […]

Mayo Clinic and TGen Help Launch Clinical Trials to Combat Advanced Skin Cancer
By Jeff Briggs
With the advent of the Human Genome Project, it has become possible to completely sequence the DNA of a patient or his or her tumor. This technique has the potential to allow physicians to identify a tumor’s unique vulnerabilities, or even to predict which tumors will recur or which may be benign enough that no […]
