Session Abstract – PMWC 2017 Silicon Valley
Session Synopsis: Deep NGS-based molecular and immune-infiltrate characterization and subtyping of tumors has the potential to identify molecular subsets that will benefit from immunotherapy as well as propose combination therapy to target single-agent resistance pathways. This session will showcase the utility of molecular subtyping to aid clinical drug development.
