New Collaborative Study on Genomic Testing in SDH‐Deficiency GIST
The LRG and the Pediatric & SDH-Deficient GIST Consortium published a paper this February on Genomic Testing in SDH-deficient GIST.
The LRG and the Pediatric & SDH-Deficient GIST Consortium published a paper this February on Genomic Testing in SDH-deficient GIST.
The LRG is partnering with the NIH and UCSD to create the first ever tumor biobank in the U.S. focused specifically on SDH-deficient GIST.
Medical Advisory Board Member Dr. Sameer Rastogi and the AIIMS Team Publish Study on SDH-deficient GIST titled, "Succinate dehydrogenase deficient GIST: Case series and review of literature from a tertiary care centre in India".
In this interview with researcher & surgical oncologist Dr. Jason Sicklick shares about his passion for SDH-deficient GIST research.
A recent study in Cancer Genetics, International initiative for a curated SDHB variant database improving the diagnosis of hereditary paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma, is important for GIST patients who carry a germline SDHB mutation
Two new studies were published in July and August 2021 focusing on SDH-deficient tumor models and how location can affect GIST tumor profiles and drug sensitivity.
The LRG worked with the NIH to create a collaborative model to serve the needs of Pediatric & SDH patients, hosting a virtual tumor board on June 25th to replace the in-person Pediatric & Wildtype Clinic which the NIH holds annually.
The Life Raft Group celebrated GIST Awareness Day 2021 by holding an virtual, interactive Q&A session for SDH-deficient GIST patients with leading experts in the field.
This study strongly recommends genetic testing and regular biochemical testing and clinical exams for SDHx mutation carriers.
The LRG will be collaborating with the NIH again in 2021 to hold the Virtual GIST Tumor Board in place of the NIH's Pediatric & Wildtype GIST Clinic normally held in the DC area. Applications to have cases reviewed are now open.
