The value of internalizing CGP NGS testing for community oncology practice: A panel discussion
12 noon–12:50 PM (ET)
Room 156C, Level 1

As CGP testing rates increase, community oncology practices are choosing to implement in-house testing. Many factors influence their decision on a suitable solution including, but not limited to panel content and attributes, oncologists’ preferences, lab expertise, and regulatory and reimbursement requirements. An expert panel discussion with a community-based pathologist, oncologist, and laboratory director will address:

  • Parameters for consideration in assay selection (IVD vs LDT, RNA + DNA content, ease of implementation)
  • Implementation data, process and feedback from two community site’s experience with the FDA-approved TruSight Oncology Comprehensive
  • Value to network oncologists and patients

New paradigms for diagnosis of CNS tumors, sarcomas, and kidney tumors utilizing AI-driven DNA methylations classifiers
3 PM–3:50 PM (ET)
Room 159, Level 1

Applications using AI data-driven DNA methylation classifiers vastly improve accuracy in solid tumor classifications, especially for brain, sarcomas, salivary gland and kidney tumors.

DNA methylation is becoming an indispensable part of solid tumor diagnostics. Epigenetic signatures analyzed using AI and machine learning algorithms provide molecular diagnostic tools which overcome routine pathology inaccuracies. Precise molecular diagnosis and prognostic subclassification guides clinical decision from early in the workup process by decreasing diagnostic uncertainty and errors. Dr. Matija Snuderl and Dr. Kyung Park of NYU Langone Medical Center share their work developing and implementing DNA methylation-based classification of tumors and integration with other molecular tests.

Innovation Spotlight Session

Precision at scale: Operationalizing high-quality oncology variant interpretation with Illumina informatics at BC Cancer
12 noon–12:30 PM (ET)
Theater Exhibit: Stage 2

Recent breakthroughs in informatics are transforming precision oncology research, streamlining interpretation and reporting of NGS data to deliver more accurate, meaningful insights at scale across advanced applications.

In this session, attendees will learn how leading oncology institution, BC Cancer, leverages Illumina informatics to operationalize somatic variant interpretation, enhancing the accuracy of their precision oncology research workflow. Leveraging sophisticated variant analysis and curation capabilities, BC Cancer is generating higher quality, more relevant oncology findings at scale.

Attendees will also get a preview of the latest innovations in Illumina informatics for key oncology applications including CGP, WGS analysis for hemopoietic disorders, and MRD detection.
