Gastric Cancer Risk Variants, Pathogen Interactions Found in Retrospective Study
Sequencing on gastric cancer cases and controls helped flag nine susceptibility genes, including genes that interact with Helicobacter pylori infection to bump up risk.
Advanced Cancer Outcomes Predicted Using Model Based on Circulating Tumor DNA Metrics
Researchers developed a ctDNA-based machine learning model for predicting metastatic non-small cell lung cancer response to immunotherapy and related survival outcomes.
African American Prostate Cancer Patients Get More VUS, Fewer Actionable Results, Studies Show
Research presented at ASCO's annual meeting underscores the need for more cancer susceptibility studies in diverse populations, experts say.
Rectal Cancer Patient Subset Shows Complete Response to Immunotherapy in Small Study
First-line treatment with the anti-PD-1 drug Jemperli prompted a clinical complete response in 12 early-stage rectal carcinoma patients, who have been able to avoid further treatment so far.

FDA Investigators Share Insights on First-Line Immunotherapy Regimens in NSCLC
Pooled analyses showed high PD-L1 expressers could do well with just immunotherapy, while most patients benefited more on chemo-immunotherapy regardless of KRAS status.
Initial KidsCanSeq Findings Reveal Medical Recommendations Stemming From Germline Tests
Along with germline sequencing results, the research team tracked recommendations by pediatric oncologists in response to structured email reports outlining the results.
Caris-Led Team Searches for Clues to Poor COVID-19 Outcomes in Cancer Patients' Transcriptome Data
Premium
Using transcriptome data from more than 38,600 tumor samples, investigators flagged expression patterns that may coincide with higher SARS-CoV-2 infections.

SickKids' 'Rigorous' Molecular Analysis IDs Targetable Alterations, Cancer Susceptibility Mutations
Premium
Within the KiCS study researchers found targetable mutations in more than half of the kids, but few actually received drugs based on those molecular markers.

Metastatic Cancer Treatment Markers Identified in Clinical WGS Study
Interim results from a study in the Netherlands suggest whole-genome sequencing can be done fast enough to uncover treatment targets in metastatic cancer patients.
Drug Combination, Biomarker Search Continues in Urothelial Cancer After Mixed ESMO Trial Data
Premium
Following variable Phase III outcomes, investigators are searching for more informative biomarkers than PD-L1 expression in advanced urothelial carcinoma cases.
