ESMO Virtual Advanced Course on Biomarkers for Precision Medicine 2021

Learning objectives

• An increasing number of therapeutics that require biomarkers testing are available for clinical use or are in advanced phase of clinical development
• Different technologies can be used for biomarker testing depending on the nature of the biomarker and the availability of biological samples
• The increasing use of large panels for comprehensive genomic profiling raises issues on data interpretation that require a multidisciplinary approach
• Monitoring the molecular evolution of the disease might allow the identification of resistance mechanisms and the development of more effective therapeutic strategies
• The identification of germline variants requires the activation of genetic counselling programs for patients and their families
