A number of activating KRAS mutations were also detected, both in cis with G12C (G12C --> G12W) and in trans with G12C (G12D/R/V/W, G13D, Q61H, likely due to mutation of the wild-type KRAS allele). Two cases showed high-level focal amplification of the KRAS G12C allele.

Great TMB review! One added paper to consider, just out in @jitcancer w @DavidRSpigel @DCarboneMD @sands_jacob : 👉Our RWE suggests aNSCLC w TMB>20 may be candidates for a chemo-sparing IO alone approach (even when PDL1<50)...

Clinical and technical insights of tumour mutational burden in NSCLC 🔹At least how many genes should be evaluated? 🔹What should be the cut-off for TMB? 🔹Can TMB be evaluated with liquid biopsy? An excellent review👇 @ChristianRolfo @OncoAlert

@marklewismd @NEJM @MSKCancerCenter Heh not gonna get triggered this time Mark😂😂. But I will just mention that this paper is underpowered and uninterpretable. One example… many others show in head and neck SCC tmb is predictive. Example below.

Excellent commentary by @harpreet_md @FDAOncology on a complex drug development challenge that has bedeviled me for years! 👏 💡Am hopeful that ctDNA 🩸🧬 monitoring could help to solve the contribution of components challenge with less risk to pts?🤞

We treated a number of pts with germline T790M in our cohort @DanaFarber and they have no excess toxicity, and in fact can have quite durable benefit! Osimertinib inhibits driver EGFRm +/- T790M, but not clear it inhibits just T790M (which likely is not a driver on its own).

Are you age 50 or older and receive care within Partners Healthcare? PATHFINDER study @DanaFarber is still looking for men and women to help evaluate a blood test to detect cancer early. For more information, email pathfinderstudy @dfci .harvard.edu.

@AzadOncology @neerajaiims @ASCO Looks like PROpel determined HRRm by ctDNA, which is great for finding positives BUT negatives should be confirmed on tissue, esp given lower shed in 1L mCRPC. Perhaps MAGNITUDE used tumor for HRRm, thus a more reliable negative result predicting lack of benefit? @EAntonarakis

Have to share a fascinating case from a @The_BMC colleague: ▶️Youngish never-smoker p/w advanced lung cancer, mets to bone. ▶️LBx sent while path review pending, see below. Anyone want to take a guess at the diagnosis? And what tx you'd start with?

Thanks for these tangible action steps by @rschilsky @NEJM ! Many are in flight - guideline updates, EMR linkage, etc. Accessibility of comprehensive LBx will be a key piece of enabling adoption. @isliquidbiopsy Closing the Gap in Cancer Genomic Testing:

Congrats to @MGHBreastOnc on this paper showing how a panel of resistance alterations complement ESR1 to inform outcomes to CDK4/6i in MBC! Like T790M in NSCLC, ESR1 is going to just be the tip of the resistance iceberg...

Proud of this study of LBx NGS in NSCLC @JTOonline ! Clear value of LBx to detect NCCN biomarkers if added to limited tissue testing. No additional NCCN biomarkers when adding LBx to tissue CGP! With negative LBx, tissue can detect missed NCCN biomarkers:

@n8pennell I would bet that brain mets are merely one potential surrogate for tumor burden. I would be interested in seeing this broken down by other measures of aggressiveness like liver mets, TP53 mutation or ctDNA tumor fraction.
