Mashup Score: 0Rates of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination and Correlation With Survival in Multiple Myeloma Patients - 9 day(s) ago
MicroabstractWe analyzed vaccination rates and associated outcomes of patients with multiple myelom in the INSIGHT MM study. Influenza vaccination in the prior 2 years and pneumococcal vaccination in the prior 5 years impacted overall survival versus no vaccination. Additionally, deaths due to infections were lower among vaccinated versus non-vaccinated patients. Vaccination status should be recorded in prospective clinical trials as it may affect survival.

Mashup Score: 1
Patients with cancer may be at high risk of adverse outcomes from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We analyzed a cohort of patients with cancer and coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) reported to the COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium (CCC19) to identify prognostic clinical factors, including laboratory measurements and anticancer therapies.

Mashup Score: 3PP01.52 The Effect of Altered RNA Expression on Tumor Immune Infiltration in NSCLC: A Retrospective NGS Study - 19 day(s) ago
Molecular testing has identified an increasing number of NSCLC associated genes, but their exact roles are poorly understood. The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has improved NSCLC outcomes, but there are still limited predictive biomarkers for ICI response. We hypothesize that altered RNA expression impacts tumor immune infiltration in NSCLC and that these relationships can help guide biomarker development.

Mashup Score: 0Frequency of Common and Uncommon BRAF Alterations among Colorectal and Non-Colorectal Gastrointestinal Malignancies - 19 day(s) ago
Background: The predictive and prognostic role of BRAF alterations has been evaluated in colorectal cancer (CRC); however, BRAF alterations have not been fully characterized in non-CRC gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. In the present study, we report the frequency and spectrum of BRAF alterations among patients with non-CRC GI malignancies. Methods: Patients with CRC and non-CRC GI malignancies who underwent somatic tumor profiling via a tissue-based or liquid-based assay were included in this study. Gain-of-function BRAF alterations were defined as pathogenic/likely pathogenic somatic short variants (SVs), copy number amplifications ≥8, or fusions (RNA or DNA). Results: Among 51,560 patients with somatic profiling, 40% had CRC and 60% had non-CRC GI malignancies. BRAF GOF alterations were seen more frequently in CRC (8.9%) compared to non-CRC GI malignancies (2.2%) (p < 0.001). Non-CRC GI malignancies with the highest prevalence of BRAF GOF alterations were bile duct cancers (4.1%)

Mashup Score: 1
Background: The frequency of HER2 expression in solid tumors other than breast (BC) and gastric cancer (GC) is not well defined. This study describes the frequency of HER2 expression by correlating HER2 IHC/ ISH and ERBB2 mRNA levels by NGS in tumor samples of patients with locally advanced/metastatic (LA/m) BC or GC and applying those findings … Continued
