INNOVATE Ocular Oncology continues in the tradition of our INNOVATE series, where scientific, clinical, and industry leaders come together to educate and inform participants on the state-of-the-art and future trends in ocular oncology. This is a critical time in this field- even with the approval of new therapies, increased clinical trial options, and advanced diagnostics, there are still unmet needs regarding treatment burden, toxicities, and access to care. INNOVATE Ocular Oncology aims to address these issues head-on with provocative lectures, cutting-edge research presentations, and panel discussions with leaders in biopharma. The hallmark of this meeting rests with hard questions, lively debate, and a collegial inter-disciplinary environment.

Unraveling the enigma of uveal melanoma dormancy in the liver

Unraveling the enigma of uveal melanoma dormancy in the liver

We reveal, using unbiased isolation of quiescent uveal melanoma (UM) disseminated cancer cells (DCCs) from the liver, that in human and mouse uveal melanoma in vivo models, the lineage commitment nuclear receptor NR2F1 is a key regulator of UM DCC dormancy. Mechanism analysis revealed that dormant UM DCCs upregulate NR2F1 expression that represses YAP1/TEAD transcription and growth programs through active chromatin remodeling. In vivo CRISPR KO of NR2F1 results in dormant DCC awakening and massive liver metastatic disease. Our work provides answers to the long-held mystery in medical oncology of UM dormancy.

Pediatric Grand Rounds - A. Linn Murphree Lectureship (Pacific Time Zone)

Important: Start time is 8:00 am Pacific Time Zone

Linn’s Legacy: Bright Retinoblastoma Future is NOW

At the end of this CME activity participants should be able to:

  • Design with the patient’s family and healthcare team, a personalized treatment plan for patients with retinoblastoma based on genetic and cancer staging.

  • Evaluate in comparison to current treatment protocols, the clinical trial data suggesting a “game changer” new retinoblastoma therapy.

  • Consider benefits and limitations of sharing point-of-care data with patients’ families and the scientific community, while ensuring patient privacy and confidentiality.

Hybrid Seminar
Nov
28

Hybrid Seminar

Prof. Dan S. Gombos, MD Anderson Cancer Center

Dr Gombos will provide a vision for how we will cure uveal melanoma in 2032. Following diagnosis, a liquid biopsy will be obtained providing personalized mutational status. Ocular & targeted therapy will be directed to treat micro-metastasis which will be monitored by circulating tumor cells or DNA levels.

Invited by:

The Medico Scientific Program Uveal Melanoma & SIRIC
