Mashup Score: 1
PURPOSE Recent advances in molecular diagnostic technologies have allowed for the evaluation of solid tumor malignancies via noninvasive blood sampling, including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profiling. We sought to characterize the ctDNA genomic alteration landscape in patients with biliary tract cancers (BTCs). PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2015 to February 2018, 124 patients with BTC at…

Mashup Score: 0
With the promise and potential of clinical next-generation sequencing for tumor and germline testing to impact treatment and outcomes of patients with cancer, there are also risks of oversimplification, misinterpretation, and missed opportunities. These issues risk limiting clinical benefit and, at worst, perpetuating false conclusions that could lead to inappropriate…

Mashup Score: 0Circulating Tumor Cells In Advanced Cervical Cancer:NRG Oncology - Gynecologic Oncology Group Study 240 (NCT 00803062) - 4 year(s) ago
Purpose: To isolate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from women with advanced cervical cancer and estimate the impact of CTCs and treatment on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Experimental Design: 7.5 mL of whole blood was drawn pre-cycle 1 and 36 days post-cycle 1 from patients enrolled on Gynecologic Oncology Group 0240, the phase III randomized trial that led directly…

Mashup Score: 1Private Payer and Medicare Coverage for Circulating Tumor DNA Testing: A Historical Analysis of Coverage Policies From 2015 to 2019 - 4 year(s) ago
Background: Clinical adoption of the sequencing of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for cancer has rapidly increased in recent years. This sequencing is used to select targeted therapy and monitor nonresponding or progressive tumors to identify mechanisms of therapeutic resistance. Our study objective was to review available coverage policies for cancer…

Mashup Score: 2SABCS 2017: Circulating Tumor Cells May Predict Late Recurrence in Patients With Hormone Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer - The ASCO Post - 4 year(s) ago
Among 546 patients enrolled, 4.8% had a positive CTC assay result; among patients with hormone receptor–positive breast cancer, 5.1% had a positive CTC result; among those with hormone receptor–negative disease, 4.3% had a positive CTC result. After a median follow-up of 1.6 years, a positive CTC assay result was associated with a nearly 20-fold increased…

Mashup Score: 0Circulating giant tumor-macrophage fusion cells are independent prognosticators in non-small cell lung cancer patients - 4 year(s) ago
Various subtypes of circulating cancer-associated cells in the blood are described. A unique circulating, large and polymorphonuclear cell with a dual epithelial and myeloid phenotype has been suggested to be a tumor-macrophage fusion cell (TMF). The goal of the study was to identify the impact of distinct TMFs on survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Mashup Score: 1Deep learning of circulating tumour cells - 4 year(s) ago
Counting different types of circulating tumour cells can give valuable information on the severity of the disease and on whether treatments are effective for a specific patient. In this work, the authors show that their method based on autoencoders can identify and count cells more accurately and faster than human experts.
