Dr Philip Dunne will give a talk entitled 'Molecular subtyping in colorectal cancer; hype or hope.'

TOPICS COVERED

Summary of the talk: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a broad range of molecular alterations with two major mechanisms of genomic instability (chromosomal instability and microsatellite instability) and has been subclassified into 4 Consensus Molecular Subtypes (CMS) based on bulk RNA sequence data. In this presentation, Dr Dunne will give an update the molecular pathological classification of CRC with an overview of more recent bulk and single cell RNA data analysis for development of transcriptional classifiers and risk stratification methods, taking into account the marked inter-tumoural and intra-tumoural heterogeneity of CRC.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Pathologists of all levels.

SPEAKER

Dr Philip Dunne, Queen’s University Belfast
