Exhibitor Seminar: AstraZeneca Precision Medicine - Actionable next-generation sequencing panel-based biomarkers in breast cancer: exploring the value of identifying patients with PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN alterations



Date and Time: Monday, March 25, 2024 - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT

Faculty: Savitri Krishnamurthy, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

Course Description
In this live session titled, “Actionable next-generation sequencing panel-based biomarkers in breast cancer: exploring the value of identifying patients with PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN alterations”, we will discuss the role of PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN genes and the importance of identifying actionable alterations within them in patients with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

We will cover the nature and prevalence of PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN alterations and the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel testing to detect these biomarkers. Additionally, real-world case studies will be shared to demonstrate some key NGS considerations in clinical practice.

Ultimately, this session aims to educate on the actionable biomarkers of PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN in breast cancer and help pathologists become advocates of NGS testing for patients with advanced breast cancer.
