How Blood Technology Is the Future for Gastroesophageal Cancers
Join us in a special edition of the Hope Webinar Series which will include a patient story: Camilla Row and her experience with ctDNA monitoring.

Dr. Dan Catenacci, GI Oncologist will present an overview of the current landscape of assays and what it means exactly. We have invited guest diagnostics industry experts to discuss on the latest developments in the market, and different applications for these technologies.

Our goal is to explaining MRD, ctDNA, RNA, NGS, and other comprehensive biomarker testing. Additionally, discuss the role of liquid biopsies in precision oncology.

This webinar is intended to educate and empower better care management for patients, caregivers, and medical professionals.

Speakers

Camilla Row
Patient
Camilla is a young mom and wife who was originally diagnosed with stage one stomach cancer in 2018. She had a stomach cancer reoccurrence in 2022 and now has a stage four diagnosis. This is her inspiring story of perseverance.
Dr. Dan Catenacci
GI Oncologist
Dr. Catenacci has experience as an active basic and clinical researcher, focusing on the treatment of gastroesophageal (esophagus, gastroesophageal junction, and stomach) cancers. His bench-to-bedside translational research had overarching goals to validate and improve personalized diagnostics, treatment, immunotherapy, and precision medicine for gastroesophageal cancer and other GI cancers. A major focus of his research was on the use of next-generation sequencing in tumor tissue and blood for the quantification of tumor genetic molecular heterogeneity both between individuals with gastroesophageal cancer, but importantly also within a given individual within one tumor site, and from one tumor site to another, and how this impacts personalized targeted therapeutic approaches. Additionally, Dr Catenacci designed and executed novel clinical trials to implement treatment strategies based on these laboratory and clinical discoveries.
