Endometrial cancer (PubMed, Dtsch Med Wochenschr)
In metastatic disease, in mismatch repair proficient cases, the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy with durvalumab has been recently approved as first line therapy in the European Union, followed by maintenance therapy with the PARP inhibitor olaparib, in combination with durvalumab. For MMRd tumors, several immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy or as monotherapy have been approved in recent years. Tumors that are overexpressing Her2/neu have an additional treatment option with trastuzumab.

Our study uncovers the pronounced immunogenicity of POLE-mutant EC and characterizes neoantigens that are unique to the POLEP286R mutation, thus providing a promising new immunotherapeutic strategy for EC.

Molecular characterization of mixed-histology endometrial carcinoma provides prognostic and therapeutic value over morphologic findings. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Transcriptional analysis demonstrated 93 differentially expressed genes between p53abnl and NSMP tumors, including many associated with the innate immune response and DNA damage repair. While p53abnl and NSMP tumors have similarly poor outcomes, transcriptome analysis revealed biologic differences that could impact targeted therapeutics in this high-risk group.

Molecular classification of endometrial cancer: Impact on adjuvant treatment planning. (PubMed, Cytojournal)
After the integration of molecular classification, a change was observed in the final MDT board decision in 23 cases (35.4%), including six cases of overtreatment and 17 cases of undertreatment, with statistical significance (P = 0.03469). The data suggest that the new molecular classification, that is, testing for POLE mutation, MSI, and p53 mutation and for endometrial carcinoma, is a valuable tool for the recurrence risk prognosis and improved planning of adjuvant treatment for EC.

The incidence of targettable molecular alterations in adult CNS tumor patients was lower than in GBM. Nevertheless, in a few selected cases TT have the potential to increase treatment options at recurrence and improve outcomes.

Advantages of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in the molecular classifi cation of endometrial carcinomas - our experience with 270 cases. (PubMed, Ceska Gynekol)
In comparison with recommended diagnostic algorithms, NGS provides a more reliable classification of EC into particular molecular subgroups. Furthermore, NGS reveals the complex molecular genetic background in individual ECs, which is especially significant within ECs with no specific molecular profile. These data can serve as a springboard for the research of therapeutic programs committed to targeted therapy in this type of tumor.

Clinical implications of next generation sequencing for the classification of endometrial carcinoma (ECP 2024)
Molecular characterization of endometrial carcinoma into subgroups has important implications for prognosis and treatment. Next-generation sequencing is a powerful tool that provides reliable results consistent with surrogate immunohistochemical markers. By performing a molecular profile of patients, NGS can identify important genetic mutations such as p53, POLE and MSI, as well as variants like CTNNB1 that have prognostic value.

Deciphering the immune landscape of gastro-entero-pancreatic high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms could help in tailoring medical treatment? (ECP 2024)
Immunotherapy has shown poor efficacy in the unselected population of HG-GEP-NENs because the immune microenvironment landscape was scant in HG-GEP-NENs at transcriptomic analysis and PD-L1 expression was absent. Thus, there is a great need to identify subsets of HG-GEP-NENs responsive to immunotherapy approaches. The present results addressed GEP-NECs with high proliferation index as sensible candidates to immunotherapy due to the enrichment in TMB-high and MSI coupled with higher CD4+ and CD8+ T cell expression.

High tumour mutation burden assessed by comprehensive molecular genetic profiling as a targeted therapeutic option for solid tumours (ECP 2024)
Eight patients received immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (7 pembrolizumab and 1 atezolizumab). TMB status determined by CGP was found to be an effective method for predicting the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors; both PFS and OS improved markedly for patients who received therapy. In our experience, TMB status, along with microsatellite instability and POLE mutation status, can be used as a predictive biomarker for therapeutic response in a wide range of histologies.
