Celebrating 10 Years of Precision Oncology in Wisconsin

This September, Madison will host a landmark program recognizing a decade of progress in precision oncology. For the first time, Advancing Pathology Education (APE) and Advancing Precision Oncology (APO) will be presented together in Wisconsin for a two-day educational experience that honors past achievements while charting the path forward.

Program Format

Advancing Pathology Education
Where diagnostic excellence drives treatment success.

Co-chairs Dr. Juan Felix (MCW) and Dr. William Rehrauer (UW) convene a program demonstrating how today’s pathology drives tomorrow’s oncology. Sessions will explore:

  • Advances in biomarker testing and interpretation
  • AI-driven image analysis and computational tools
  • Molecular techniques including NGS, IHC, PCR, and liquid biopsy
  • Actionable insights into biomarkers such as HER2-low, C-Met, BRAF, Trop-2, FOLR1, and FGFR2b

Ideal for: Pathologists, molecular scientists, laboratory directors, translational researchers.

Advancing Precision Oncology
Celebrating 10 years of innovation in Wisconsin oncology.

Under the leadership of co-chairs Dr. Jeremy Kratz and Dr. Dustin Deming (UW), we’ll look back at ten years of advances—and look ahead to what’s next in precision oncology. Sessions will include:

  • Expert keynote presentations from leaders in cancer research and translational science
  • Advances in early detection, novel target development, and therapy innovation
  • Integration of molecular diagnostics into treatment planning and delivery
  • Reflections on the history and future of precision medicine in Wisconsin

Ideal for: Oncologists, hematologists, oncology nurses, advanced practitioners, translational scientists, and multidisciplinary cancer care teams.

Why Attend?

    • Celebrate 10 years of Wisconsin leadership in precision oncology
    • Two days of expert-led education spanning pathology and oncology
    • FREE registration and FREE CME credits 
    • Practical strategies you can apply immediately in clinical practice
    • Opportunities for networking and collaboration with regional and national leaders

Join us in Madison to celebrate a decade of excellence and help shape the future of precision oncology.

  • Interpret tumor-specific biomarkers and molecular tests—e.g., HER2-low, BRCA, PD-L1, KRAS, and methods such as NGS, IHC, PCR, liquid biopsy/ctDNA and digital pathology—to inform diagnosis and treatment selection across breast, lung, gynecologic, colorectal, and prostate cancers.
  • Apply precision-oncology tools—omics-based profiling (KRAS in lung), computational methods, early detection strategies, and ctDNA/MRD—to case scenarios to optimize therapy sequencing and response assessment.
  • Integrate hereditary cancer risk evaluation and clinical trial opportunities into multidisciplinary care and identify policy/legislative considerations in Wisconsin that impact implementation of precision medicine.
