DMT132-25 - CME/CMLE - The State-of-Art Practice for Tumor Predictive Biomarker Testing by Immunohistochemistry

Course Description

With rapid advances in precision oncology, there are increasing numbers of tumor predictive biomarkers to be tested by immunohistochemistry (IHC) as part of the state-of-art clinical practice. Many new drugs such as immune checkpoint inhibitors have different companion diagnostic assays and reporting criteria depending on specific tumor types and therapeutical regiments. There are also regulatory requirements for assay validation and quality assurance. To navigate through the complex IHC predicative biomarker testing landscape becomes a daunting job for most general pathologists in practice. The aim of this education session is to provide a concise review of the topic together with practical guidance in detailed lab operations. A novel perspective of implementing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven algorithms to improve IHC predicative tumor biomarker testing will also be discussed.

This session is supported by an independent educational grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals
