ASCO20 Virtual: Introduction to Theranostics

(UroToday.com) The ASCO 2020 virtual education program featured a session on recent advances in nuclear medicine theranostics for cancer. As part of this session, Jonathan McConathy, MD, Ph.D., provided an introductory presentation to theranostics. The term ‘theranostic’ is derived from ‘therapeutic plus diagnostic’, which is a diagnostic test to stratify patients by likelihood to respond to […]

Biomarker-Driven Strategies for Renal Cell Cancer: Current Status and Future Directions

(UroToday.com) The ASCO 2020 Virtual Education Program featured a session highlighting molecular enrichment strategies in genitourinary cancer, including Bradley McGregor, MD, discussing biomarker-driven strategies for renal cell cancer. Dr. McGregor notes that there are prognostic biomarkers that identify patients more likely to have a particular outcome, and there are predictive biomarkers that predict a favorable or […]
