Liver Cancer and Immunohistochemistry
In this webinar we will discuss the markers used in detecting liver carcinoma as well as other antibody grids that can be run to aid in the identification of primary liver carcinoma.
Soft Tissue Cancer and Immunohistochemistry
Soft tissue tumors are a broad group of neoplasms that involve the connective tissue of the body. Each year, over 13,000 people in the US are diagnosed with soft tissue sarcomas and over 5,000 people succumb to the malignancy. Because soft tissue sarcomas are very ambiguous and amorphous, many time sarcomas are classified as an uncertain type. Advances in immunohistochemistry as well as the utility of novel markers such as TFE3, TLE1, MyoD1, and MUC4 have aided pathologists in classifying these soft tissue tumors. This discussion will cover the key facts and statistics about soft tissue tumors and what role IHC plays in these difficult diagnoses.
Characterizing the tumor microbiome using 5R-PLEX technology
This webcast will highlight key findings related to the characterization of the tumor microbiome in various cancers and give a special focus to technical challenges in the study of low biomass niches and the different approaches for addressing them. It will also describe the 5R bacterial 16S-Seq method (5R-PLEX method) that not only enables the characterization of the microbiome in tumors that are preserved in paraffin blocks (FFPE), but also increases the coverage and resolution of bacterial profiling as compared to other standard 16S-Seq methods.

Predicting through Multiplexing: Immune checkpoint inhibition benefits in advanced NSCLC
The dynamics of tumour and immune responses associated with immune checkpoint blockade are unique and complex. Despite the initial successes of immunotherapy, a low objective response rate due to resistance is still the main challenge in solid tumours, particularly advanced-stage lung cancer. One manifestation of tumour-immune dynamics is a release of soluble immune checkpoints and regulators to the surrounding microenvironment and circulation, the biological role of which has yet to be revealed. However, many studies highlight the clinical significance of soluble molecules such as sPD-1 and sLAG3.
