VCCC Alliance Breast Cancer Grand Round with Associate Professor Kylie Gorringe
Molecular Analyses of Pre-Invasive Breast Disease
Join us for a deep dive into the genomic secrets of pre-invasive breast diseases with Associate Professor Kylie Gorringe, a renowned scientist at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
For the past decade, A/Prof Gorringe and her team have been meticulously investigating the genomic features of pre-invasive breast lesions, including ductal carcinoma in situ, atypical ductal hyperplasia, and papillomas.
In this presentation, she will share her team's progress in this crucial field of cancer research, providing a comprehensive overview of the progress made so far as well as sharing exciting recent findings, and delving into the team's efforts to build prognostic tests for these conditions.
Aim: To provide an overview of the progress of research in pre-invasive breast diseases at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
Learning Objective: To discuss the progress of research at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre with a focus on molecular analyses of pre-invasive breast disease
