Abstract

Molecular targeted therapy Cancer Diagnostics and Molecular Pathology Molecular sequencing Tumor genomics Cancer Mutation
To study the frequency with which targeted tumor sequencing results will lead to implemented change in care, this study assessed tumors from 100 patients for utility, feasibility, and limitations of genomic sequencing for genomically guided therapy or other clinical purpose in the setting of a multidisciplinary molecular tumor board. Comprehensive profiling led to implementable clinical action in 35% of tumors with genomic alterations.
