Allyn Media is looking forward to American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference in Chicago later this month! We created Test Your Biomarkers brand, website (testyourbiomarkers.org), and social media content, including lived-experience videos and kicked off a life-saving awareness and education campaign for people diagnosed with stomach cancer. Biomarkers, or biological markers, provide invaluable insights into a patient’s cancer, guiding clinicians in selecting targeted therapies that offer newfound hope and efficacy. By analyzing these biomarkers, healthcare providers can make more informed treatment decisions, ultimately leading to better long-term health outcomes for patients with stomach cancer. Advances in medical science are revolutionizing the landscape of stomach cancer treatment, offering new avenues for improved patient outcomes. At the forefront of this progress is biomarker testing—a crucial tool in tailoring personalized treatments based on the unique characteristics of each patient’s cancer. Please click through to watch the video and share. Together, we will raise awareness and empower patients to speak to their doctors about biomarker testing in order to find the right treatment for their stomach cancer. SHOUT OUT to founding sponsors founding supporters Astellas Pharma US, Amgen! SHOUT OUT to our medical advisory committee members for your invaluable guidance in creating this much-needed resource.
