Expert Highlights the Clinical Utility of RNA Sequencing Methods in Cancer
Kevin Halling, MD, PhD, discussed the clinical utility of RNA-sequencing methods in patients with cancer at the 2019 Association for Molecular Pathology Annual Meeting and Expo. Halling says RNA sequencing is a very powerful diagnostic technique.
Kevin Halling, MD, PhD, a consultant in the Division of Laboratory Genetics and Genomics and Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the Mayo Clinic, discussed the clinical utility of RNA-sequencing methods in patients with cancer at the 2019 Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) Annual Meeting and Expo. Halling says RNA sequencing is a very powerful diagnostic technique.
According to Halling, these methods can be used to detect not only gene fusions in patients with cancer, but RNA sequencing can also detect point mutations and small indels. Additionally, pathologists can use RNA sequencing techniques to measure gene expression in the patient’s tumors.
Checkpoint Inhibitors Deliver Longer OS in PPP2R1A-Mutated Endometrial Cancer vs Wild-Type Disease
April 7th 2025Dual checkpoint inhibitors led to longer overall survival in patients with high-risk endometrial cancer who displayed inactivating PPP2R1A mutations vs patients with wild-type PPP2R1A.
