Dr. Spratt discusses ongoing research with Decipher genomic testing
“I think that it's very clear that this test is independently prognostic,” says Daniel E. Spratt, MD.
In this video, Daniel E. Spratt, MD, discusses the takeaways of the study, “Validation of the performance of the Decipher biopsy genomic classifier in intermediate-risk prostate cancer on the phase III randomized trial NRG Oncology/RTOG 0126,” which was presented at the 2022 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Spratt is a Vincent K. Smith professor and chair at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and chair of radiation oncology at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
Grant to fund research on biomarkers for toxicity from prostate cancer radiation
July 11th 2024“By understanding the mirSNP genetic markers that predispose patients to adverse side effects from cancer therapy we can tailor these therapies to minimize harm and maximize efficacy," says Joanne B. Weidhaas, MD, PhD, MS.
Gene-expression signature could serve as biomarker for recurrence in ccRCC
June 26th 2024“Even when we adjusted for other clinical variables, like age or grade of tumor, this signature was still independently associated with recurrence after treatment for this form of kidney cancer," says Simpa S. Salami, MD, MPH.
