Join us in an upcoming webinar for a deep dive into the latest advancements in imaging techniques that can serve as crucial tools to predict immunotherapy responses in cancer treatment. The featured speakers will discuss the groundbreaking role of predictive biomarkers in customizing patient treatments, and the significance of CD8-expressing cytotoxic T cells in combatting cancer, juxtaposed with the limitations in present-day biopsy procedures, highlighting the need for innovative approaches. Finally, get an exciting look into the world of radiomics combined with AI, a synergy offering unprecedented potential in refining response evaluations in immunotherapy. This live webinar is taking place on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, at 2pm EDT (11am PDT).
TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In this webinar, hear about how imaging is being used as a catalyst to predict responses to cancer immunotherapy. The featured speakers will explore 1) the present and transformative impact of predictive biomarkers on immunotherapy response, 2) the role of cytotoxic T cells expressing CD8 in the anti-cancer immune response and 3) the emerging field of radiomics and its potential merger with artificial intelligence (AI), with a discussion on the promising opportunities this fusion presents for complex response assessments in immunotherapy.
Below is some more information on the featured topics:
Current State of Cancer Immunotherapy Theranostics
Cancer immunotherapy theranostics are the predictive biomarkers of immunotherapy response. However, current tissue- or blood-based assays do not encompass all potential patient responses and there is a need for continued enhancement in predictive capabilities. Hear about the clinical outcomes and data related to clinically utilized biomarkers for cancer immunotherapy such PD-L1, TMB, MSI and MMR in selected cancer types, along with insights into Quibim's experiences with cancer immunotherapy imaging classifiers.
Visualizing Patient Response with CD8+ T cells in Cancer
Evidence suggests CD8+ cells in lymph nodes or other lymphoid organs could play an important role in the tumor immunity cycle and response to immunotherapy. Learn about the advantages of full body imaging of cancer patients focused on CD8+ cell status (CD8 ImmunoPET), particularly during cancer immunotherapy, revealing full-body CD8+ cell distributions in multiple lesions, lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs.
Radiomics and Artificial Intelligence
Hear about the integration of AI techniques in radiomics analysis for cancer immunotherapy response prediction. When coupled with AI, a machine/deep learning algorithm can learn to adjust the importance of radiomic features — which include tissue and lesion characteristics such as heterogeneity and shape — or pattern and their interactions, to combine them into a predictive signature. AI-derived clinical decision support algorithms can assist clinicians to achieve earlier and better identification of responders, non-responders and those likely to develop adverse events.
Register for the live webinar taking place on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, at 2pm EDT (11am PDT) that will feature speakers Michael Ferris, PhD, Associate Director of Operations, ImaginAb Europe Ltd.; Glen J. Weiss, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Quibim; and Ana Jimenez-Pastor, VP of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Quibim.
