Precision Medicine

Now available is a 30-minute eCourse for members of the multidisciplinary cancer care team on how to use consistent, evidence-based health literacy best practices as it relates to lung cancer biomarker testing. Complete “Health Literacy Best Practices for Lung Cancer Biomarkers” to gain a lexicon of health terminology that resonates with patients and their caregivers and access downloadable resources about health literacy and biomarkers.

Hear patient advocacy professionals discuss the impact of using patient-centered vocabulary during precision medicine conversations.

This webinar will highlight how community cancer programs are using a new approach to optimize biomarker testing processes through the addition of a precision medicine steward. Precision medicine experts will outline strategies and key metrics that demonstrate how precision medicine stewardship can improve coordination and streamline workflows to ensure timely, equitable testing for patients who may benefit from targeted therapy.

This webinar will review how the steps in the life cycle of a patient specimen can affect its molecular integrity and molecular analysis results. Our expert speaker will define the roles of stewardship across the specimen chain of custody, discuss common factors that compromise specimen fitness for molecular testing, and describe solutions to improve preanalytics and tissue stewardship.

Two thought leaders who have deep knowledge of—and experience in—biomarker testing in patients with hematologic malignancies will discuss best practices for biomarker testing in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma based on patient case discussions and the latest guidelines.
