Nice @JCO_ASCO editorial on #PARPi combinations in 1st line #mCRPC #prostatecancer, but let's address some barriers: 1. Real-world access to #BRCA & #HRR testing needs improvement for #PARPi use 2. Regardless of #HRR status, we've shown pooled OS benefit https://t.co/fKjqk1qTNR https://t.co/FcsUAjFJDr

Mashup Score: 31
PURPOSE Paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin (TIP) is an established salvage regimen for germ cell tumors (GCT) on the basis of a phase II trial, but efficacy on a large patient cohort including patients with unfavorable risk features and long-term outcomes has not been reported. Herein, we report updated treatment efficacy and long-term follow-up with TIP. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with GCT who received TIP after cisplatin-based chemotherapy were eligible. Favorable response (complete response or partial response with negative tumor markers), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates, relapse, and toxicity were determined. Disease was reclassified according to the International Prognostic Factor Study Group (IPFSG) score. RESULTS Of the 104 patients, 87 had favorable risk factors and 17 had at least one unfavorable factor by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) criteria. Ten patients were treated for a second gonadal primary GCT. With a median foll

Mashup Score: 14Landscape of Concomitant Driver Alterations in Classical EGFR-Mutated Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer | JCO Precision Oncology - 4 month(s) ago
PURPOSE Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled the detection of concomitant driver alterations in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the magnitude and clinical relevance of concomitant drivers remain to be explored. METHODS We profiled concomitant driver alterations of EGFR+ NSCLC by using targeted NGS. The associated genomic and clinical features were analyzed and validated in an independent The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort of patients with EGFR+ NSCLC. RESULTS Out of the total patient population, 334 patients had EGFR mutations along with concomitant driver mutations, comprising 3.09% of the entire cohort. The most frequent co-occurring mutations with sensitizing EGFR mutations include KRAS at 53.9%, followed by ERBB2 at 24.3%, MET at 16.5%, and BRAF at 3.3%. KRAS mutations in concomitant drivers were frequently hyperexchange mutations (25.6% v 8.2%, P < .001), compared with KRAS single drivers. EGFR/ERBB2 drivers exhibited a higher incidence of ERBB2 amplification (40.

Mashup Score: 0Germline Susceptibility to Renal Cell Carcinoma and Implications for Genetic Screening | JCO Precision Oncology - 4 month(s) ago
PURPOSE Genetic susceptibility to nonsyndromic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains poorly understood, especially for different histological subtypes, as does variations in genetic predisposition in different populations. The objectives of this study were to identify risk genes for RCC in the Canadian population, investigate their clinical significance, and evaluate variations in germline pathogenic variants (PVs) among patients with RCC across the globe. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted targeted sequencing of 19 RCC-related and 27 cancer predisposition genes for 960 patients with RCC from Canada and identified genes enriched in rare germline PVs in RCC compared with cancer-free controls. We combined our results with those reported for patients from Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States to investigate PV variations in different populations. Furthermore, we evaluated the performance of referral criteria for genetic screening for including patients with rare PVs. RESULTS We id
