Though biomarker testing is now considered standard of care for therapeutic decision making in cancer care, real-world evidence has identified several practice gaps, resulting in many patients not receiving biomarker testing results and/or matched targeted therapies.

The audience will take part in a discussion with an expert panel of two pathologists and an oncologist on:
-Challenges and practice gaps identified in precision medicine implementation
-Coordination of a multidisciplinary team to ensure optimal biomarker detection and targeted therapy utilization, leading to more favorable patient outcomes.
