Mashup Score: 3
Detecting pathogenic germline variants in the clinic remains technically challenging. We analyzed 145 previously identified, hard-to-detect variants in 100 samples using HiFi long-read sequencing (LRS). 93% of these variants could be recovered in the data, highlighting LRS as a promising single technology for the diagnosis of rare diseases.

Mashup Score: 4EGFR Kinase Domain Duplication (EGFR-KDD) Is a Novel Oncogenic Driver in Lung Cancer That Is Clinically Responsive to Afatinib - PubMed - 1 month(s) ago
We identified oncogenic and drug-sensitive EGFR-KDD that is recurrent in lung, brain, and soft-tissue cancers and documented that a patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma harboring the EGFR-KDD derived significant antitumor response from treatment with the EGFR inhibitor afatinib. Findings from …

Mashup Score: 3Nonrandom cell-cycle timing of a somatic chromosomal translocation: The t(X;17) of alveolar soft-part sarcoma occurs in G2 - PubMed - 3 month(s) ago
The cell-cycle timing of somatic chromosomal translocations in cancer remains poorly understood but may be relevant to their etiology and the mechanism of their formation. Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare malignant soft-tissue tumor of uncertain lineage that provides an opportunity to add …

Mashup Score: 5Real-world experience with circulating tumor DNA in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with central nervous system tumors - PubMed - 3 month(s) ago
The characterization of genetic alterations in tumor samples has become standard practice for many human cancers to achieve more precise disease classification and guide the selection of targeted therapies. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can serve as a source of tumor DNA in patients with central nervous …

Mashup Score: 20
PURPOSE MDM2, a negative regulator of the TP53 tumor suppressor, is oncogenic when amplified. MDM2 amplification (MDM2amp) is mutually exclusive with TP53 mutation and is seen in 6% of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), with significant enrichment in subsets with receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) driver alterations. Recent studies have shown synergistic activity of MDM2 and MEK inhibition in patient-derived LUAD models with MDM2amp and RTK driver alterations. However, the combination of MDM2 and RTK inhibitors in LUAD has not been studied. METHODS We evaluated the combination of MDM2 and RTK inhibition in patient-derived models of LUAD. RESULTS In a RET-fusion LUAD patient-derived model with MDM2amp, MDM2 inhibition with either milademetan or AMG232 combined with selpercatinib resulted in long-term in vivo tumor control markedly superior to either agent alone. Similarly, in an EGFR-mutated model with MDM2amp, combining either milademetan or AMG232 with osimertinib resulted in long-

Mashup Score: 2Antibiotics are associated with worse outcomes in lung cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy - PubMed - 6 month(s) ago
Anti-PD(L)-1 inhibition combined with platinum doublet chemotherapy (Chemo-IO) has become the most frequently used standard of care regimen in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The negative impact of antibiotics on clinical outcomes prior to anti-PD(L)-1 inhibition monotherapy (IO) h …

Mashup Score: 2Association of RNF43 Genetic Alterations With BRAFV600E and MSIhigh in Colorectal Cancer - 10 month(s) ago
PURPOSE Recent studies have provided evidence for a predictive value of RNF43 genetic alterations (GAs) as biomarkers for targeted therapies in microsatellite-stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC). These data have the potential to prioritize treatment strategies in patients with BRAFV600E-mutant CRC and help to identify a subgroup that is more likely to derive benefit versus those patients for whom alternative treatment approaches are needed. We were therefore interested in defining the precise frequency of BRAFV600E and RNF43 GAs and their respective overlap in a large cohort of patients with CRC. METHODS To address this question, we performed a retrospective analysis that included 52,969 patients diagnosed with CRC from the FoundationCORE database. RESULTS We observed a striking association of RNF43 GAs with MSI and tumor mutational burden status and BRAFV600E mutations. Overall, 23% of MSS patients with confirmed BRAFV600E mutation harbor an RNF43 GA—which accounts for 1.1% of all pa
