Diffuse pleural mesotheliomas with genomic near-haploidization: a newly recognized subset with distinct clinical, histologic, and molecular features. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
GNH defines an aggressive subtype of mainly biphasic DPMs in younger patients with recurrent alterations in SETDB1 and TP53. The enrichment in biphasic histology and TILs, together with our preliminary ICB response data and anecdotal clinical trial data, suggests that further evaluation of immunotherapy may be warranted in this subset.

Emerging disparities in the clinical actionability landscape for patients with inferred African ancestry (AACR 2024)
However, following the breast cancer-specific FDA approvals of alpelisib+fulvestrant for PIK3CA-mutant disease in 2019 and elacestrant for ESR1-mutant disease in 2023, a significant shift in Level 1 actionability was observed between EUR (45%) and AFR (34%) attributed in part to the paucity of PIK3CA (26.3% vs. 36.2% in EUR) and ESR1 (4.1% vs. 7.5% in EUR) oncogenic alterations in AFR.We further observed AFR with CRC to have lower prevalence of MSI-H (5.8% vs.10.7% in EUR), TMB (12.5% vs. 18.8% in EUR) and BRAF V600E (5.1% vs. 9% in EUR). Correspondingly, in 2023, 16.4% of AFR with CRC have Level 1 alterations compared to 25.4% of EUR. Moreover, while AFR have higher rates of KRAS mutations (57.2% vs. 42.6% in EUR), they have a lower prevalence of the standard care biomarker KRAS G12C (3.4% vs. 7% of KRAS-mutant CRC in EUR) further exacerbating the disparities in CRC clinical actionability.Taken together, here we demonstrate that a significant disparity exists in the clinical actionability landscape of AFR with cancer compared to EUR, largely due to differences in relative mutational frequencies of Level 1 genomic alterations.

Reliable detection of potentially therapeutically actionable ecDNA using clinical-grade NGS in a large pan-cancer cohort (AACR 2024)
The results demonstrate that detection of ecDNA using clinical-grade NGS assays is feasible and that key oncogene FH-amp on ecDNA (e.g., EGFR, FGFR2) are common in select tumor types.

Utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for prognosis of patients with recurrent high grade glioma (AACR 2024)

Additionally, CSF ctDNA was associated with positive cytology in 21/21 cases (100%).With our improved bioinformatics pipeline we hypothesize ctDNA from CSF may be used as a prognostic biomarker for survival, but confirmation requires further validation in a prospective study.

Characterization of somatic copy number deletion of chromosome 22q in papillary thyroid carcinoma (AACR 2024)
RNA sequencing gene expression analysis based on 22qDEL status revealed downregulation of most genes residing on chromosome 22q and significant differential expression activity of immune-related genes, further implicating a role of immune dysregulation in PTC. Our study suggests that 22qDEL may not act as a primary driver of PTC but plays an important role as a co-factor of RAS point mutations, which could further drive PTC development.

Longitudinal analyses of clinical sequencing data provide novel insights into the evolutionary dynamics of lung adenocarcinoma (AACR 2024)
In LUAD, metastatic specimens exhibit increased chromosomal instability in relation to their matched primaries. This translates into unique copy number alterations detected only in the metastasis.

Subtype stratification of BC was robust with respect to AUC and more readily detectable in primary than in metastatic BC. This study provides the basis for development of AI-based tools to detect CIN not only in breast cancer but across cancer types, and a means to test CIN broadly within clinical trials.
