Title:

Next-generation sequencing reveals somatic mutations that confer exceptional response to everolimus

Excerpt:
The assay reported TP53 (Q38fs) mutation and NF1 (D1644A) mutation...a therapeutic attempt using everolimus 10mg once per day was initiated...His tumor showed further decrease in SUVmax in the PET-CT scan taken after 4 months of therapy (Supplementary Figure 3). The partial response was maintained for 8 months.
