Excerpt

Non-receptor tyrosine kinase (nRTK) pathways are aberrantly activated in cancer, and mutations in nRTKs have potential therapeutic and prognostic importance. Consisting of 10 families, the 32 known human nRTKs each include a TKD made of N and C-terminal lobes necessary for catalytic activity, as well as varying regulatory regions including Src homology 2 (SH2) and 3 (SH3), and in the case of the Janus kinases a PSKD which is also bi-lobed [1]. Tumor profiling with NGS enables the entire coding sequence of numerous genes to be evaluated, thus facilitating the identification of novel nsSNPs in nRTKs. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
