Wafik El-Deiry: Great discussion at WIN Consortium International Molecular Tumor Board

Wafik El-Deiry, Associate Dean for Oncologic Sciences at the Warren Alpert Medical School, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Great discussion at today’s WIN Consortium in cancer personalized medicine International Molecular Tumor Board about young patient with stage IV colorectal cancer, germline MSH2 and multiple driver mutations including PIK3CA, PTEN, beta-catenin, p53, FBXW7, SMARCB1 among others.

Several good options for combination therapy as well as clinical trials were discussed.”
