Description

Why Attend?

To learn from a pathologist and clinician/molecular biologist how to develop a tissue-based immunohistochemical assay for use in deciding what drug to give a patient with metastatic cancer. We shall discuss the design and validation of IHC assays for androgen receptor v7 as a potential predictor of non-response to androgen deprivation therapy.
