Using Digital Pathology to Determine the Role of Tumor-Infiltrating B-Cells in Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Melanoma, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
In this free webinar, the featured speaker will discuss how biomarker analysis with digital pathology coupled with analysis of gene expression can identify T- and B-cell signatures with prognostic value in melanoma. Attendees will learn how digital image analysis can identify tumor and stroma compartments and perform cell-by-cell analysis of biomarker positivity within the respective compartments to identify and quantify cellular phenotypes and provide insight into interactions between T- and B-cells.
TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Biomarkers are needed to identify patients who benefit most from targeted or immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy in metastatic melanoma. This webinar will share an analysis of biomarkers using pre-treatment melanoma samples from the dabrafenib plus trametinib arm of the randomized, Phase III COMBI-v trial using the HALO® image analysis platform combined with gene expression analysis using the Nanostring nCounter technology.
This is believed to be the first large-scale analysis of gene expression signatures, tumor cell interactions and T- and B-cell interactions by digital pathology in patients treated with targeted therapy. Distinct T-cell/B-cell signatures at baseline demonstrated prognostic value, as high T-cell/low B-cell signatures were associated with prolonged survival vs. high T-cell/high B-cell signatures. B cells may be potential biomarkers to identify patients who could achieve improved clinical benefit.
Join this webinar to learn:
- How biomarker analysis with digital pathology coupled with gene expression analysis can identify T- and B-cell signatures with prognostic value in melanoma
- How digital image analysis can identify tumor and stroma compartments and perform cell-by-cell analysis of biomarker positivity within the respective compartments to identify and quantify cellular phenotypes
- How spatial analysis can provide insight into interactions between T- and B-cells
Join Ken Schultz, Principal Scientist, Novartis, for the live webinar on Wednesday, December 15, 2021 at 1pm EST.
