Informed in 30 - Understanding Biomarker Testing

National Brain Tumor Society presents Informed in 30, a video series that breaks down complex scientific concepts at the forefront of brain tumor research and treatment: https://braintumor.org/brain-tumor-in... Biomarker testing refers to tests that identify genes, proteins, and other substances called biomarkers that can provide information about your tumor. Because of innovation and new technology, clinicians can learn a lot about your brain tumor from biomarker testing and, potentially, how to treat it and manage growth. Watch Informed in 30 – Understanding Biomarker Testing to learn more about biomarker testing, what the different brain tumor biomarkers are in adults and pediatrics, how biomarkers may impact treatment, and what role biomarkers play in clinical trials. In this educational video, you will learn about biomarker testing from our leading experts: Wenya Linda Bi, MD, PhD, FAANS, Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and Harvard Medical School David Meredith, MD, PhD Assistant Professor of Pathology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Harvard Medical School Learn more: NBTS Biomarker Testing Information Page: https://braintumor.org/brain-tumor-in...
