  3. HeItadline Molecular mechanisms underlying cell function - Physiology - Pathology

  4. Colorectal Cancer Molecular Mechanisms & Pathways

  5. Molecular Testing: It Used to be “Simple” • One order – One test • One result • One interpretation • One clinical application

  6. Molecular Pathology: Solid Tumors Personalized Diagnostics for Targeted Therapies Lung Cancer Colon Cancer Melanoma EGFR mt KRAS mt BRAF mt EML4Alk ……… KRAS mt BRAF mt MSI MLH1 ……… BRAFmt KIT mt ……… Esophageal-Gastric Breast GISTs KIT PDGFRA Her2 neu IHC / FISH
