The extraordinary advancements made over the past several years in the clinical management of cancer have ushered in a new era of optimism for those afflicted with many cancer types. However, these advancements have also created a highly complex environment for healthcare providers and diagnostic laboratory personnel. With the range of clinically informative biomarkers, the types of tests to detect these biomarkers, and the resulting clinical implications constantly expanding and becoming more complex, it has become increasingly burdensome for healthcare professionals to keep pace.
This series will efficiently describe emerging and evolving biomarkers in a series of live webcasts that will be structured to provide a consistent framework in which to consider the application of new information on specific biomarkers. Read more about this series in this JMD article.
Each live webcast will feature:
After broadcast, each webinar will be posted on the AMPEDTM online Learning Management System as 1. A complete presentation with pre- and post-tests plus available continuing education credit and 2. A series of short learning modules that can be reviewed based on need and interest in the science, laboratory applications, and/or clinical implications of each marker. See below for links.
