Abstract Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have significantly advanced cancer therapy, yet their efficacy in tumors with low tumor mutational burden (TMB) remains suboptimal. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the impact of somatic mutations on overall survival (OS) TMB-low patients treated ICIs and explore potential for personalized treatment selection through machine learning. Methods We conducted a comprehensive analysis 1172 (TMB < 10 per megabase) receiving ICIs,...

Purpose: Solid tumors harboring tumor mutational burden (TMB) ≥10 mutations per megabase (mut/Mb) received agnostic approval for pembrolizumab. This work aims to analyze the somatic profile’s influence on outcomes of patients with TMB-high treated immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Methods: post-hoc analysis evaluated clinical and molecular features solid ICIs that could be either monoclonal antibody directed against programmed cell death protein-1 or ligand 1 (anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1),...

ABSTRACT Purpose Solid tumors harboring tumor mutational burden (TMB) ≥ 10 mutations per megabase (mut/Mb) received agnostic approval for pembrolizumab. However, TMB cut-off alone is not a predictor of overall survival (OS). This work aims to analyze the somatic profile’s influence in outcomes patients with TMB-high treated immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Methods post-hoc analysis evaluated clinical and molecular features 1,661 solid ICIs. We performed OS thresholds 10, 20, < mut/Mb....

Werner's syndrome is caused by the inactivation of both WRN alleles and characterized premature aging increased risk neoplasms, especially those mesenchymal origins, such as sarcomas. Given characteristic genomic instability, patients with this are more susceptible to develop toxicities when exposed cytotoxic agents, alkylators anthracyclines. The impact monoallelic mutation on treatment-associated poorly understood. Here, we report a patient locally advanced dedifferentiated liposarcoma...

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach is an uncommon subtype gastric cancer remarkably similar to hepatocellular carcinoma in histopathological analysis. It also commonly associated with high serum alfa-fetoprotein and a poorer prognosis, despite emergence new therapeutic options. In recent years, next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has made it possible identify describe genes molecular alterations common thereby contributing advancement targeted therapies. A 62-year-old patient, no...

2632 Background: High-TMB was recently approved as an agnostic biomarker for pembrolizumab in advanced cancers. Still, several patients with high-TMB do not respond to ICI, while some low-TMB benefit from immunotherapy. Methods: We collected genomic (MSK-IMPACTassay) and survival data 1,661 assessed OS (Kaplan-Meier method) according the mutational status. To better qualify TMB ≥ 10 mut/Mb (TMB-H) (N = 488, 29%) < (TMB-L) 1,173, 71%) ICI treatment, we analyzed single gene alterations...
