Lurie Cancer Center Professional Education Events
5th Annual Lurie Cancer Center OncoSET Symposium: The Promise (and Pitfalls) of Liquid BiopsyOn Friday, April 28, the OncoSET Symposium will provide healthcare professionals with state-of-the-art information related to significant advances in precision medicine in oncology and the evolving standard of personalized cancer care. The program will focus on the use of genomic technologies in both tissue and blood analysis. The meeting will provide the opportunity to learn about the steps to filter, evaluate and apply this knowledge to determine the most effective course of treatment for each patient. Symposium participants will discover new approaches to personalized cancer therapy based on current research and patient-specific genetic patterns. In addition, participants will learn strategies for translating advances in precision medicine to their clinical practice.
