Abstract
Abstract Three hundred and twenty day old Hubbard broilers were randomly allocated to four treatments (8 replicates, 10 birds/pen) and were raised under standard management conditions. Birds in the first group served as control and were fed a corn based diet, while birds in the remaining three groups i.e.; A, B and C were fed with a basal diet supplemented with copper nanoparticles (CuNP) at 5, 10 and 15 mg /kg of diet respectively for 35 days. Supplementation of CuNP linearly increased (P≤0.05) body weight (BW), average daily weight gain (ADWG) and feed intake (FI) in broilers. Uric acid, glucose levels in blood and feed conversion ratio (FCR) reduced linearly (P≤0.05) with CuNP supplementation in diet. Supplementation of CuNP in the diet also linearly increased (P≤0.05) tibia weight, length, diameter, weight/length index (W/L) and Tibiotarsal index (TT index). Inclusion of CuNP in broilers diet linearly increased the measured parameters of muscle i.e.; pH, fiber diameter, fiber cross-sectional area, fascicle diameter, fascicle cross-sectional area (P≤0.05). Concentration of copper, iron, calcium and phosphorous in blood also increased line-arly (P ≤ 0.05) with CuNP supplementation. Overall, CuNP positively affected the growth performance, histological characteristics of muscles, bone strength and serum metabolites in broilers.

Abstract
Numerous cell states are known to comprise the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the developmental stemness and co-occurrence of these cell states remain poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on a cohort of treatment-naive PDAC time-of-diagnosis endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) samples (n = 25). We then combined these samples with surgical resection (n = 6) and publicly available samples to increase statistical power (n = 80). Following annotation into 25 distinct cell states, cells were scored for developmental stemness, and a customized version of the Ecotyper tool was used to identify communities of co-occurring cell states in bulk RNA-seq samples (n = 268). We discovered a tumor microenvironmental community comprised of aggressive basal-like malignant cells, tumor-promoting SPP1+ macrophages, and myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts associated with especially poor prognosis. We also found a developmental stemness continuum with implications for survival that is present in both malignant cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). We further demonstrated that high-dimensional analyses predictive of survival are feasible using standard-of-care, time-of-diagnosis EUS-FNB specimens. In summary, we identified tumor microenvironmental and developmental stemness characteristics from a high-dimensional gene expression analysis of PDAC using human tissue specimens, including time-of-diagnosis EUS-FNB samples. These reveal new connections between tumor microenvironmental composition, CAF and malignant cell stemness, and patient survival that could lead to better upfront risk stratification and more personalized upfront clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Ampullary cancers refer to tumors originating from the ampulla of Vater (the ampulla, the intraduodenal portion of the bile duct, and the intraduodenal portion of the pancreatic duct), while periampullary cancers may arise from locations encompassing the head of the pancreas, distal bile duct, duodenum, or ampulla of Vater. Ampullary cancers are rare gastrointestinal malignancies, and prognosis varies greatly based on factors such as patient age, TNM classification, differentiation grade, and treatment modality received. Systemic therapy is used in all stages of ampullary cancer, including neoadjuvant therapy, adjuvant therapy, and first-line or subsequent-line therapy for locally advanced, metastatic, and recurrent disease. Radiation therapy may be used in localized ampullary cancer, sometimes in combination with chemotherapy, but there is no high-level evidence to support its utility. Select tumors may be treated surgically. This article describes NCCN recommendations regarding management of ampullary adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite favorable clinical outcomes, a subset of patients with thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) develop metastasis. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) provides genomic data on primary TETs (pTETs). This study assessed the molecular alterations and uncovered targetable pathways in metastatic TETs (mTETs). METHODS From 2015 to 2020, 49 patients with stage IV TETs underwent Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-based sequencing using whole-exome sequencing (n = 33), panel-based testing (n = 12), and/or liquid biopsy (n = 24). Specimens were obtained from a metastatic organ (n = 36) or relapsed primary mediastinal mass (n = 10), whereas four patients underwent a liquid biopsy only. Data on pTETs were derived from the TCGA. RESULTS Compared with the pTET data set, patients with mTETs were younger (54 years v 60.5 years, P = .009) and had more aggressive histologies, with the most common tumor type being thymic carcinoma (n = 22, 40.7%) and B3 thymoma (n = 15, 27.8%). GTF2I was the most altered gene in primary thymomas (48.80%, n = 60). In metastatic thymoma and thymic carcinoma, TP53 was the most common genetic alteration (31% and 36%, respectively). In mTETs, the genomic alteration occurred in the TP53/CDK, EGFR/RAS, and PI3K/mTOR pathways. Biopsies obtained from distant metastasis were more commonly found to contain targetable mutations. There was an overlap of 61% (22 of 36) between tissue and liquid biopsy genomic alterations. CONCLUSION Clinically actionable genomic alterations are frequently observed in mTETs, indicating a value of repeat biopsy (preferably from a metastatic site of TETs for sequencing at the time of recurrence (TCGA data).

Abstract
The kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory (LHAASO) aims at surveying the northern γ-ray sky at energies above 10 TeV with unprecedented sensitivity. γ-ray observations have long been one of the most powerful tools for dark matter searches, as, e.g., high-energy γ rays could be produced by the decays of heavy dark matter particles. In this Letter, we present the first dark matter analysis with LHAASO-KM2A, using the first 340 days of data from 1/2-KM2A and 230 days of data from 3/4-KM2A. Several regions of interest are used to search for a signal and account for the residual cosmic-ray background after γ/hadron separation. We find no excess of dark matter signals, and thus place some of the strongest γ-ray constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles with mass between 10^{5} and 10^{9} GeV. Our results with LHAASO are robust, and have important implications for dark matter interpretations of the diffuse astrophysical high-energy neutrino emission.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation is a hallmark of severe coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Anti-inflammatory therapy is considered crucial to modulate the hyperinflammatory response (cytokine storm) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. There is currently no specific, conclusively proven, cost-efficient, and worldwide available anti-inflammatory therapy available to treat COVID-19 patients with cytokine storm. The present study aimed to investigate the treatment benefit of oral colchicine for hospitalized COVID-19 patients with suspected cytokine storm. Colchicine is an approved drug and possesses multiple anti-inflammatory mechanisms. This was a pilot, open-label randomized controlled clinical trial comparing standard of care (SOC) plus oral colchicine (colchicine arm) vs. SOC alone (control arm) in non-ICU hospitalized COVID-19 patients with suspected cytokine storm. Colchicine treatment was initiated within first 48 hours of admission delivered at 1.5 mg loading dose, followed by 0.5 mg b.i.d. for next 6 days and 0.5 mg q.d. for the second week. A total of 96 patients were randomly allocated to the colchicine (n=48) and control groups (n=48). Both colchicine and control group patients experienced similar clinical outcomes by day 14 of hospitalization. Treatment outcome by day 14 in colchicine vs control arm: recovered and discharged alive: 36 (75.0%) vs. 37 (77.1%), remain admitted after 14-days: 4 (8.3%) vs. 5 (10.4%), ICU transferred: 4 (8.3%) vs. 3 (6.3%), and mortality: 4 (8.3%) vs. 3 (6.3%). The speed of improvement of COVID-19 acute symptoms including shortness of breath, fever, cough, the need of supplementary oxygen, and oxygen saturation level, was almost identical in the two groups. Length of hospitalization was on average 1.5 day shorter in the colchicine group. There was no evidence for a difference between the two groups in the follow-up serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers including C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), ferritin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT pro-BNP). According to the results of our study, oral colchicine does not appear to show clinical benefits in non-ICU hospitalized COVID-19 patients with suspected cytokine storm. It is possible that the anti-inflammatory pathways of colchicine are not crucially involved in the pathogenesis of COVID-19.

Abstract
Poultry industry is amongst highly developed industries of Pakistan, fulfilling the protein demand of rapidly increasing population. On the other hand, the untreated poultry waste is causing several health and environmental problems. The current study was designed to check the potential of keratinolytic fungal species for the conversion of chicken-feather waste into biofortified compost. For the purpose, three fungal species were isolated from soil samples. These strains were pure cultured and then characterized phenotypically and genotypically. BLAST searches of 18S rDNA nucleotide sequence of the fungal isolates revealed that the two fungal isolates belonged to genus Aspergillus and one belonged to genus Chrysosporium. Optimum temperature for Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Chrysosporium queenslandicum was 29, 26 and 25 oC, respectively. A. flavus showed maximum (53%) feather degradation, A. niger degraded feather waste up to 37%, while C. queenslandicum showed 21% keratinolytic activity on chicken feathers at their respective temperature optima. The degradation potential of these fungal species showed their ability to form compost that has agro-industrial importance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) have different immunological, stromal cell, and clinicopathological characteristics. Single-cell characterization of CMS subtype tumor microenvironments is required to elucidate mechanisms of tumor and stroma cell contributions to pathogenesis which may advance subtype-specific therapeutic development. We interrogate racially diverse human CRC samples and analyze multiple independent external cohorts for a total of 487,829 single cells enabling high-resolution depiction of the cellular diversity and heterogeneity within the tumor and microenvironmental cells. RESULTS Tumor cells recapitulate individual CMS subgroups yet exhibit significant intratumoral CMS heterogeneity. Both CMS1 microsatellite instability (MSI-H) CRCs and microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC demonstrate similar pathway activations at the tumor epithelial level. However, CD8+ cytotoxic T cell phenotype infiltration in MSI-H CRCs may explain why these tumors respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Cellular transcriptomic profiles in CRC exist in a tumor immune stromal continuum in contrast to discrete subtypes proposed by studies utilizing bulk transcriptomics. We note a dichotomy in tumor microenvironments across CMS subgroups exists by which patients with high cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and C1Q+TAM content exhibit poor outcomes, providing a higher level of personalization and precision than would distinct subtypes. Additionally, we discover CAF subtypes known to be associated with immunotherapy resistance. CONCLUSIONS Distinct CAFs and C1Q+ TAMs are sufficient to explain CMS predictive ability and a simpler signature based on these cellular phenotypes could stratify CRC patient prognosis with greater precision. Therapeutically targeting specific CAF subtypes and C1Q + TAMs may promote immunotherapy responses in CRC patients.

Abstract
Recently, the LHAASO Collaboration published the detection of 12 ultrahigh-energy γ-ray sources above 100 TeV, with the highest energy photon reaching 1.4 PeV. The first detection of PeV γ rays from astrophysical sources may provide a very sensitive probe of the effect of the Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), which results in decay of high-energy γ rays in the superluminal scenario and hence a sharp cutoff of the energy spectrum. Two highest energy sources are studied in this work. No signature of the existence of the LIV is found in their energy spectra, and the lower limits on the LIV energy scale are derived. Our results show that the first-order LIV energy scale should be higher than about 10^{5} times the Planck scale M_{Pl} and that the second-order LIV scale is >10^{-3}M_{Pl}. Both limits improve by at least one order of magnitude the previous results.

Abstract
559 Background: SEA-CD40 is an investigational nonfucosylated IgG1 monoclonal agonistic antibody targeted to CD40, expressed on antigen-presenting cells. SEA-CD40 binds with increased affinity to FcγRIIIa resulting in enhanced effector function and CD40 agonism, allowing amplification of immune stimulation and antitumor activity. PDAC can be treated with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (GnP), often with poor survival. Combining chemotherapeutic agents with SEA-CD40 could facilitate robust antigen release and amplified presentation to CD8+ T cells. In preclinical models, the combination of SEA-CD40 and chemotherapy resulted in significant antitumor activity which is further enhanced with anti-PD1 treatment. We present data from an ongoing Phase 1 study (SGNS40-001) in a PDAC cohort evaluating the combination of SEA-CD40, GnP, and pembrolizumab (pembro). Methods: Patients (pts) ≥18 years old with untreated metastatic PDAC and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance scores of 0 or 1 were enrolled. GnP were administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle with 10 or 30 μg/kg SEA-CD40 IV on Day 3. Pembro was administered every 42 days starting on Day 8. Results: As of July 9, 2021, 61 pts were treated: 40 and 21 pts at 10 and 30 μg/kg SEA-CD40, respectively. Minimum follow-up was 5 months. The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are shown in Table. 5 (8%) pts experienced an AE leading to treatment (tx) discontinuation (3 and 2 in 10 and 30 μg/kg SEA-CD40 dose, respectively), 35 (57%) pts experienced a serious TEAE (22 and 13 pts in 10 and 30 μg/kg, respectively). Two tx-related deaths occurred: colitis attributed to pembro, and septic shock attributed to GnP. Pts had transient increases in circulating cytokines and chemokines associated with immune activation and trafficking as well as increases in markers of activation on peripheral NK cells and T cells. Conclusions: The combination of SEA-CD40 + GnP + pembro demonstrated a tolerable safety profile. Evidence of immune activation was observed, consistent with the proposed mechanism of action. Follow-up for response and survival are ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02376699. [Table: see text]

Abstract
PURPOSE Approximately 10%-40% of patients with lung cancer report no history of tobacco smoking (never-smokers). We analyzed whole-exome and RNA-sequencing data of 160 tumor and normal lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) samples from never-smokers to identify clinically actionable alterations and gain insight into the environmental and hereditary risk factors for LUAD among never-smokers. METHODS We performed whole-exome and RNA-sequencing of 88 and 69 never-smoker LUADs. We analyzed these data in conjunction with data from 76 never-smoker and 299 smoker LUAD samples sequenced by The Cancer Genome Atlas and Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium. RESULTS We observed a high prevalence of clinically actionable driver alterations in never-smoker LUADs compared with smoker LUADs (78%-92% v 49.5%; P < .0001). Although a subset of never-smoker samples demonstrated germline alterations in DNA repair genes, the frequency of samples showing germline variants in cancer predisposing genes was comparable between smokers and never-smokers (6.4% v 6.9%; P = .82). A subset of never-smoker samples (5.9%) showed mutation signatures that were suggestive of passive exposure to cigarette smoke. Finally, analysis of RNA-sequencing data showed distinct immune transcriptional subtypes of never-smoker LUADs that varied in their expression of clinically relevant immune checkpoint molecules and immune cell composition. CONCLUSION In this comprehensive genomic and transcriptome analysis of never-smoker LUADs, we observed a potential role for germline variants in DNA repair genes and passive exposure to cigarette smoke in the pathogenesis of a subset of never-smoker LUADs. Our findings also show that clinically actionable driver alterations are highly prevalent in never-smoker LUADs, highlighting the need for obtaining biopsies with adequate cellularity for clinical genomic testing in these patients.

Abstract
Biliary tract cancers (cholangiocarcinomas and gallbladder cancers) are increasing in incidence and have a poor prognosis. Most patients present with advanced disease, for which the treatment is palliative chemotherapy. Over the past few years, the genomic landscape of biliary tract cancers has been examined and several targeted therapies have been developed. Molecular targets with clinically meaningful activity include fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), RAS-RAF-MEK (MAP2K1)-ERK (MAPK3), HER2 (also known as ERBB2), DNA mismatch repair, and NTRK. Pemigatinib, a FGFR1-3 inhibitor, showed encouraging response rates and survival data as second-line treatment and received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in April, 2020, for previously treated advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 gene fusion or rearrangements. Ivosidenib, an IDH1 inhibitor, showed improved progression-free survival versus placebo in second-line treatment in the phase 3 ClarIDHy trial. Early phase trials of dabrafenib plus trametinib (BRAF and MEK inhibition) and zanidatamab (a bispecific HER2-antibody) have yielded encouraging response rates. Immunotherapy has mainly produced responses in tumours with deficient mismatch repair or high microsatellite instability (also known as dMMR or MSI-H) or higher PD-L1 score, or both. However, early phase trials of immunotherapy plus chemotherapy in unselected patient populations appear promising. NTRK inhibitors have also shown promise in early phase trials of NTRK-fusion positive solid tumours, including cholangiocarcinoma. In this Review, we discuss current and emerging therapies for advanced biliary tract cancers, with a focus on molecularly targeted therapy.

Abstract
The Crab Nebula is a bright source of gamma rays powered by the Crab Pulsar's rotational energy through the formation and termination of a relativistic electron-positron wind. We report the detection of gamma rays from this source with energies from 5 × 10-4 to 1.1 peta-electron volts with a spectrum showing gradual steepening over three energy decades. The ultrahigh-energy photons imply the presence of a peta-electron volt electron accelerator (a pevatron) in the nebula, with an acceleration rate exceeding 15% of the theoretical limit. We constrain the pevatron's size between 0.025 and 0.1 parsecs and the magnetic field to ≈110 microgauss. The production rate of peta-electron volt electrons, 2.5 × 1036 ergs per second, constitutes 0.5% of the pulsar spin-down luminosity, although we cannot exclude a contribution of peta-electron volt protons to the production of the highest-energy gamma rays.

Abstract
We report the discovery of an extended very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray source around the location of the middle-aged (207.8 kyr) pulsar PSR J0622+3749 with the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). The source is detected with a significance of 8.2σ for E>25 TeV assuming a Gaussian template. The best-fit location is (right ascension, declination) =(95.47°±0.11°,37.92°±0.09°), and the extension is 0.40°±0.07°. The energy spectrum can be described by a power-law spectrum with an index of -2.92±0.17_{stat}±0.02_{sys}. No clear extended multiwavelength counterpart of the LHAASO source has been found from the radio to sub-TeV bands. The LHAASO observations are consistent with the scenario that VHE electrons escaped from the pulsar, diffused in the interstellar medium, and scattered the interstellar radiation field. If interpreted as the pulsar halo scenario, the diffusion coefficient, inferred for electrons with median energies of ∼160 TeV, is consistent with those obtained from the extended halos around Geminga and Monogem and much smaller than that derived from cosmic ray secondaries. The LHAASO discovery of this source thus likely enriches the class of so-called pulsar halos and confirms that high-energy particles generally diffuse very slowly in the disturbed medium around pulsars.

Abstract
The extension of the cosmic-ray spectrum beyond 1 petaelectronvolt (PeV; 1015 electronvolts) indicates the existence of the so-called PeVatrons-cosmic-ray factories that accelerate particles to PeV energies. We need to locate and identify such objects to find the origin of Galactic cosmic rays1. The principal signature of both electron and proton PeVatrons is ultrahigh-energy (exceeding 100 TeV) γ radiation. Evidence of the presence of a proton PeVatron has been found in the Galactic Centre, according to the detection of a hard-spectrum radiation extending to 0.04 PeV (ref. 2). Although γ-rays with energies slightly higher than 0.1 PeV have been reported from a few objects in the Galactic plane3-6, unbiased identification and in-depth exploration of PeVatrons requires detection of γ-rays with energies well above 0.1 PeV. Here we report the detection of more than 530 photons at energies above 100 teraelectronvolts and up to 1.4 PeV from 12 ultrahigh-energy γ-ray sources with a statistical significance greater than seven standard deviations. Despite having several potential counterparts in their proximity, including pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants and star-forming regions, the PeVatrons responsible for the ultrahigh-energy γ-rays have not yet been firmly localized and identified (except for the Crab Nebula), leaving open the origin of these extreme accelerators.

Abstract
e15037 Background: Despite advances in biomarker-directed cancer therapies to predict tumor response to treatment, precision oncology remains an imprecise science. Tumor organoid drug screens present an opportunity to test multiple potentially effective therapies simultaneously before exposing a patient to treatment toxicities. Preliminary studies have established the analytic validity; however, the clinical validity of the tumor organoid response to a drug to predict the tumor response in patients is unclear. Methods: In order to establish the clinical validity of an organoid drug screen, a clinical disease model should have the following features to enable comparison of the tumor’s clinical response to treatment and the organoid’s response to the same treatment. First, a fresh tissue biopsy (non-bone) needs to be obtained for organoid development prior to the start of systemic treatment. Priority should be given to tumors known to successfully grow organoids. Disease models where the standard of care systemic treatment is a single cytotoxic or targeted agent would best assess correlation between the drug screen and patient response, such as metastatic breast, cervical, or prostate cancer. This would often lead to enrolling patients on later line systemic therapies. Studies should avoid drugs whose mechanism of action leverages the patient metabolism or tumor microenvironment (e.g. immunotherapy, aromatase inhibitors, VEGF inhibitors). Patient should have measurable disease that can be measured clinically, radiographically, or pathologically and using standardized response evaluation criteria (e.g. RECIST). Next generation sequencing would assess genomic concordance between the tumor in the patient and organoid. These studies would determine the feasibility and timeliness of prospectively developing tumor organoids that is sufficient to perform a drug screen. Results: We propose two research models to evaluate the clinical validity of tumor organoid drug screens: a metastatic solid tumor and neoadjuvant solid tumor disease model. Metastatic disease models provide an opportunity to assess response across multiple cancer types at the time of progression and initiation of next line of therapy. The efficacy of chemotherapy can be determined using objective data from radiologic response (RECIST). In neoadjuvant models, pathologic (pCR) and radiologic response can provide objective data for organoid response. These study design features will lay the framework for determining the clinical utility of organoid drug screens. Conclusions: We call for clinical studies assessing the clinical validity of tumor organoid drug screens and determining their concordance with patient response to systemic therapy. Advancements in clinically validated tumor organoids have the potential to fundamentally shift clinical paradigms and improve patient outcomes in cancer treatment.

Abstract
3613 Background: One-third of colorectal cancer (CRC) recurs following curative surgery and chemotherapy. Accordingly, novel methods are needed to predict recurrence to enable clinical course mitigating strategies. Serial monitoring of plasma by mass spectrometry (MS) and multi-omics modeling (MMO) of CRC relapse chronology provide the framework for liquid biopsy test development to supersede existing imaging modalities such as CT scans according to relapse related pathologies. We hypothesized that plasma MS and MMO analysis of relapse related pathologies can deconvolute high risk stratification for CRC recurrence within the cancer continuum of care pre/post-surgery and/or pre/post adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). Methods: 189 CRC patients (Stage I-III) underwent one of three treatment modalities: Modality 1 (Surgery followed by ACT), Modality 2 (Surgery only), Modality 3 (Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and ACT). Plasma samples (n = 441) were collected from patients before surgery, 30 days post-op, and every 3 months until death or month 24 whichever came first. The MMO approach was used to analyze biological features encompassing native peptides, proteins, metabolites, lipids, and ceramides. MMO panels were developed comprising the significantly perturbed features as per the treatment modalities. These panels were used to predict relapse from plasma collected pre-op, 30-day post-op or after adjuvant chemotherapy. CEA levels were monitored in parallel. Results: Follow-up data was available for 135 patients (Stage I-III) and 25/135 had evidence of radiological recurrence. Irrespective of the treatment modality, longitudinal follow-up using the MMO panel was able to predict disease recurrence greater than 7 months before clinical progression was confirmed by CT scan. There was no significant correlation between longitudinal CEA levels and recurrence status, hence CEA levels alone did not provide any lead time advantage over the MMO panel or radiological surveillance. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis revealed that patients that were MMO panel positive had a poor survival irrespective of treatment modalities used: Modality 1 (HR = 6.2, p value = 0.003, test immediately post-surgery and immediately before ACT; HR = 31.6, p value = 0.01, test immediately after ACT); Modality 2 (HR = 11.2; p value = 0.01, test immediately after-surgery); Modality 3 (HR > 40, p value = 0.08, test immediately after neo-ACT and before-surgery; HR > 40, p value = 0.004, test immediately after-surgery). Conclusions: The MMO panel predicts CRC recurrence several months prior to detection by conventional CT scans, thus providing opportunity for alternative therapeutic strategies much earlier in the disease course.

Abstract
TPS451 Background: SEA-CD40 is an investigational non-fucosylated, humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody directed against CD40, a co-stimulatory receptor expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Activation of CD40 on APCs upregulates cytokine production and co-stimulatory receptors, enhancing tumor antigen presentation to T cells. Preclinical data indicate that treatment of PDAC with chemotherapy in conjunction with a CD40 agonist could enhance antigen presentation and initiate an antitumor immune response (Byrne KT and Vonderheide RH, Cell Rep 2016;15, 2719–2732). A Phase 1 study (SGNS40-001) is evaluating SEA-CD40 monotherapy and in combination with other agents in pts with advanced solid or hematologic malignancies. A cohort is enrolling to evaluate the combination of SEA-CD40, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab in PDAC. Methods: The cohort consists of pts with metastatic PDAC who have had no prior therapy for metastatic disease. Pts must be ≥18 years old, with (neo)adjuvant therapy completed > 4 months prior to enrollment; ECOG status ≤1; adequate renal, hepatic, and hematologic function; and measurable disease per RECIST v 1.1 criteria. A standard regimen of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle is administered with SEA-CD40 IV on Day 3. Pembrolizumab is administered every 42 days starting on Day 8. The primary objective is to evaluate antitumor activity; secondary objectives are to evaluate safety and tolerability and SEA-CD40 and pembrolizumab pharmacokinetics. Efficacy endpoints are confirmed RECIST objective response rate per investigator (primary), disease control rate (response or stable disease ≥16 weeks), duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Disease is assessed every 8 weeks using RECIST and immune-based RECIST (iRECIST). Treatment continues until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease per iRECIST, consent withdrawal, or study closure, whichever occurs first. Assessment of dose-limiting toxicity will occur initially in groups of 6 pts to identify the recommended phase 2 dose of SEA-CD40 for the cohort. Enrollment to this cohort began in November 2019. Clinical trial information: NCT02376699.

Abstract
97 Background: The incidence and mortality of early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) is on the rise. Consequently, there is an urgent unmet need to better understand their unique tumor biology to expand therapeutic options and improve clinical outcomes. Methods: Exploratory Targeted multiplex proteomics (TMP) and targeted 648 gene panel was performed on specimens from 35 patients with resected colon cancer diagnosed at age < = 40 years. TMP panel consisted of 72 proteins involved in differentiation, tumorigenesis, and response to chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Clinicopathologic and genomic data were also collected. Results: The median age of diagnosis was 33 years. The cohort included 15 male and 20 female patients. 20 (57%) had left-sided tumors and 6 (17%) had stage IV disease. Notable genomic alterations included mutations in: BRAF V600E (2/35); RAS (15/35); PIK3CA exon 9 or 20 (5/35); and ERBB2 (2/35). One patient exhibited ERBB2 amplification. 9/35 tumors were MSI-H. TMP analysis revealed overexpression of chemotherapy resistance proteins in several patients: ALDH1A1:16/35; ERCC1:1/35; GART:26/35; MDR1:9/35; MGMT:5/35; RRM1:6/35; TUBB3:1/35; TYMS:2/35; XRCC1:11/35. In contrast, some tumors exhibited elevated biomarkers of chemosensitivity: hENT1:8/35; DHFR:12/35; TYMP:15/35; OPRT:8/35; SLFN11:1/35; TLE:11/35; TOPO1:12/35; TOPO2A:1/35. Protein targets of cell signaling pathways were overexpressed in a number of tumors: CAT:16/35; CAV-1: 6/35; CBL:2/35; E-Cadherin: 19/35; HSP90A:16/35; HSP90B:18/35; MET:5/35; NQO1:18/35; paxillin:4/35; SRC:21/35; STAT3:11/35. Regarding EGFR and KRAS, none of the tumors exhibited elevated protein expression level. Furthermore, RAS mutational status did not correlate with the level of EGFR or KRAS protein expression. Antibody drug conjugate biomarkers were observed. HER2 overexpression was noted in one patient who had a confirmed ERBB2 amplification. Regarding immunotherapy targets, PDL-1 protein was not overexpressed in any tumor, whereas MSLN and TROP2 were elevated in 1/35 and 2/35 patients, respectively. Conclusions: TMP analysis of EO-CRC patients revealed marked heterogeneity in the expression of proteins involved in differentiation, tumorigenesis, and response to chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Differential protein expression may provide insight into therapeutic vulnerabilities for EO-CRC. Furthermore, the discordance between detected genomic alterations and protein expression levels highlights the complementary nature of genomic sequencing and TMP analysis.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a challenging disease with a low 5-year survival rate. There are areas for improvement in the tools used for screening, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment selection, and assessing treatment response. Liquid biopsy, particularly cell free DNA liquid biopsy, has shown promise as an adjunct to our standard care for pancreatic cancer patients, but has not yet been universally adopted into regular use by clinicians. In this publication, we aim to review cfDNA liquid biopsy in pancreatic cancer with an emphasis on current techniques, clinical utility, and areas of active investigation. We feel that researchers and clinicians alike should be familiar with this exciting modality as it gains increasing importance in the care of cancer patients.

Abstract
Background
Patient derived tumor organoids (TOs) are emerging as potential models to elucidate mechanisms of tumor biology and therapeutic response. Here, we establish pan-cancer metrics for validation of genetic and transcriptomic recapitulation, and concordance of an organoid to its native tumor.
Methods/Results
We sequenced 50 tumor/TO pairs from 12 cancer types using the Tempus xT DNAseq panel and transcriptome RNAseq platforms. Concordance metrics between tumors and TOs were derived for genomic variants called by the DNA xT platform and comparative ratios were calculated for all detected somatic variants. Across all sequenced pairs, somatic variant detection concordance between any mutation identified in primary tissues and tumor organoids resulted in a mean value of 88.1%. Somatic primary tumor variant recapitulation, the percent of somatic variants identified in the primary tumors that were also detected in the TO, averaged 96.3%.
In addition to genetic concordance, DNAseq can identify and track clonal and subclonal diversity from source material to TO. In particular, we observed that >90% of source tumor/TO pairs harbor variants with allelic fractions <40% in both the sequenced TO and primary tumor tissue, suggesting intra-tumor heterogeneity in subclonal cell populations is maintained.
TOs and primary tumor transcriptomic profiles were compared by dimensionality reduction approaches (i.e. Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP), and Principal Components Analysis (PCA)) as well as differential expression analysis between cancer types. Overall, TOs recapitulated expected transcriptional programs of their tumor type as evidenced by UMAP and PCA as well as upregulation of defining pathways, such as estrogen receptor pathways in breast cancer TOs (ssGSEA p-values ranging from 0.004 to 5 × 10−5 for 5 gene ontology estrogen response pathways when compared to non-breast cancer TOs).
Conclusion
Determining genomic and transcriptomic concordance of TOs to source tumors is essential to confirm the validity of a given patient derived model. Our approach establishes metrics through key genomic features identified from routine next-generation sequencing data and can be extended beyond model validation to tracking clonal evolution over time in the presence or absence of therapeutic selection pressures. Our metrics may also serve as a critical quality control step if TOs are utilized in the clinical setting for personalized medicine.

Abstract
Tumor heterogeneity, especially intratumoral heterogeneity, is a primary reason for treatment failure. A single biopsy may not reflect the complete genomic architecture of the tumor needed to make therapeutic decisions. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is believed to overcome these limitations. We analyzed concordance between ctDNA and whole-exome sequencing/whole-genome sequencing (WES/WGS) of tumor samples from patients with breast (n = 12), gastrointestinal (n = 20), lung (n = 19), and other tumor types (n = 13). Correlation in the driver, hotspot, and actionable alterations was studied. Three cases in which more-in-depth genomic analysis was required have been presented. A total 58% (37/64) of patients had at least one concordant mutation. Patients who had received systemic therapy before tissue next-generation sequencing (NGS) and ctDNA analysis showed high concordance (78% (21/27) vs. 43% (12/28) p = 0.01, respectively). Obtaining both NGS and ctDNA increased actionable alterations from 28% (18/64) to 52% (33/64) in our patients. Twenty-one patients had mutually exclusive actionable alterations seen only in either tissue NGS or ctDNA samples. Somatic hotspot mutation analysis showed significant discordance between tissue NGS and ctDNA analysis, denoting significant tumor heterogeneity in these malignancies. Increased tissue tumor mutation burden (TMB) positively correlated with the number of ctDNA mutations in patients who had received systemic therapy, but not in treatment-naïve patients. Prior systemic therapy and TMB may affect concordance and should be taken into consideration in future studies. Incorporating driver, actionable, and hotspot analysis may help to further refine the correlation between these two platforms. Tissue NGS and ctDNA are complimentary, and if done in conjunction, may increase the detection rate of actionable alterations and potentially therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The development of first-, second-, and third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mutations in the EGFR. However, limited data are available regarding the activity of available EGFR TKIs against uncommon EGFR mutations. This is an important question because improvements in screening techniques are facilitating the identification of patients with uncommon mutations for whom optimal treatment has not yet been clarified. This uncertainty reflects the fact that most prospective clinical trials of EGFR TKIs have been restricted to patients with tumor harboring common (Del19 or L858R) mutations. In this article, we discuss the nature of EGFR mutation heterogeneity in NSCLC and review recent preclinical and clinical data that have assessed the sensitivity of different mutations to different EGFR TKIs. Recent preclinical data indicate that second-generation ErbB family blockers, such as afatinib, have a broad activity profile across uncommon EGFR mutations. Emerging evidence indicates that the preclinical data for afatinib are reflected in the clinic. Subanalysis of clinical trials, and real-world data, demonstrate that EGFRs with defined, but uncommon mutations such as G719X, S768I, and L861Q are sensitive to afatinib, which is now approved for tumors harboring these mutations. A recent clinical trial has demonstrated that EGFRs harboring some of these less common mutations also appear to be sensitive to the third-generation EGFR TKI, osimertinib. Treatment options for tumors with other uncommon mutations, notably exon 20 insertion, remain an area of unmet need, although osimertinib has shown preclinical activity in this setting, and early clinical activity has been seen with the dual EGFR/HER2 TKIs, poziotinib and TAK-788. Further data are required to help drive appropriate treatment decisions in patients whose tumors harbor these uncommon EGFR mutations.

Abstract
Room for improvement exists regarding recommendations for screening, staging, therapy selection, and frequency of surveillance of gastrointestinal cancers. Screening is costly and invasive, improved staging demands increased sensitivity and specificity to better guide therapy selection. Surveillance requires increased sensitivity for earlier detection and precise management of recurrences. Peripherally collected blood-based liquid biopsies enrich and analyze circulating tumor cells and/or somatic genomic material, including circulating tumor DNA along with various subclasses of RNA. Such assays have the potential to impact clinical practice at multiple stages of management in gastrointestinal cancers. This review summarizes current basic and clinical evidence for the utilization of liquid biopsy in cancers of the esophagus, pancreas, stomach, colon, and rectum. Technical aspects of various liquid biopsy methodologies and targets are reviewed and evidence supporting current commercially available assays is examined. Finally, current clinical applicability, potential future uses, and pitfalls of applying liquid biopsy to the screening, staging and therapeutic management of these diseases are discussed.

Abstract
The oncogenic role ERBB2 amplification is well established in breast and gastric cancers. This has led to the development of a well-known portfolio of monoclonal antibodies and kinase inhibitors targeting the ERBB2 kinase. More recently, activating mutations in the ERBB2 gene have been increasingly reported in multiple solid cancers and were shown to play an oncogenic role similar to that of ERBB2 amplification. Thus, ERBB2 mutations define a distinct molecular subtype of solid tumors and serve as actionable targets. However, efforts to target ERBB2 mutation has met with limited clinical success, possibly because of their low frequency, inadequate understanding of the biological activity of these mutations, and difficulty in separating the drivers from the passenger mutations. Given the current impetus to deliver molecularly targeted treatments for cancer, there is an important need to understand the therapeutic potential of ERBB2 mutations. Here we review the distribution of ERBB2 mutations in different tumor types, their potential as a novel biomarker that defines new subsets in many cancers, and current data on preclinical and clinical efforts to target these mutations. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: A current trend in oncology is to identify novel genomic drivers of solid tumors and developing precision treatments that target them. ERBB2 amplification is an established therapeutic target in breast and gastric cancers, but efforts to translate this finding to other solid tumors with ERBB2 amplification have not been effective. Recently the focus has turned to targeting activating ERBB2 mutations. The year 2018 marked an important milestone in establishing ERBB2 mutation as an important actionable target in multiple cancer types. There have been several recent preclinical and clinical studies evaluating ERBB2 mutation as a therapeutic target with varying success. With increasing access to next-generation sequencing technologies in the clinic, oncologists are frequently identifying activating ERBB2 mutations in patients with cancer. There is a significant need both from the clinician and bench scientist perspectives to understand the current state of affairs for ERBB2 mutations.

Abstract
Radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) is a rare and poorly understood phenomenon, constituting an inflammatory skin reaction to a previously irradiated area of skin following the administration of certain agents, usually chemotherapy. Our patient developed RRD 66 years after receiving radiation therapy; to the best of our knowledge, this is the longest reported period in the literature. The mainstay of therapy is to withhold the agent that elicited the adverse reaction, followed by symptomatic management. Subjecting patients to further chemotherapy can provoke another episode of RRD. Therefore, clinical judgment in this regard is usually recommended.

Abstract
e14268 Background: Checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy has varying success among tumor types and patients. Predictive biomarkers are in high demand to assist with patient selection. Responses to these agents are correlated with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, microsatellite instability (MSI), and tumor mutational burden (TMB). Here we evaluated PD-L1 expression, MSI status and TMB in a variety of solid tumors to determine their relationships. Methods: A total of 109 specimens were identified in patients diagnosed with solid tumors that underwent a Paradigm Diagnostic Cancer Test. MSI scores were determined by the number of indels present in runs of 6 homopolymer bases per megabase, with a cut-off of 6 to distinguish between MSI-high (MSI-H) and MSI-stable (MSI-S). TMB scores greater than or equal to 10 muts/Mb were designated as high (TMB-H). Results: Of all tumors, 19.3% were MSI-high. PD-L1 testing was performed in 71.5% of all samples; of these, 21.8% were PD-L1 positive. TMB scores of PD-L1 positive tumors (mean = 10.3 muts/Mb) and PD-L1 negative tumors (mean = 8.6 muts/Mb) did not differ significantly (p = 0.57). All MSI-H tumors were TMB-H, and MSI-H tumors had higher mean TMB scores than MSI-S tumors (57 muts/Mb versus 7.6 muts/Mb; p = 0.06). Among TMB-H tumors, MSI-H status was associated with higher TMB scores compared to MSI-S tumors (55.2 muts/Mb versus 22.1 muts/Mb, p = 0.18). Of the both MSI-S and TMB-H tumors, 68.8% were lung cancers and 18.8% were breast cancers. Tumors both MSI-H and TMB-H were 47.6% gastrointestinal carcinomas and 33.3% endometrial carcinomas. Conclusions: In our analysis, TMB was independent of PD-L1 status. All MSI-H tumors were also TMB-H; these were primarily gastrointestinal and endometrial carcinomas whereas TMB-H tumors that were MSI-S consisted predominantly of lung cancers. This difference may be due to the different mechanisms of acquiring mutations during carcinogenesis in these two tumor types. These data also highlight the need for integrated PD-L1, MSI and TMB testing to identify potential responders to immunotherapy.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this feasibility trial was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the locally adapted Group Problem Management Plus (PM+) intervention for women in the conflict affected settings in Swat, Pakistan. METHODS This mixed-methods study incorporated a quantitative component consisting of a two arm cluster randomised controlled feasibility trial, and qualitative evaluation of the acceptability of the Group PM+ to a range of stakeholder groups. For the quantitative component, on average from each of the 20 Lady Health Workers (LHWs) catchment area (20 clusters), six women were screened and recruited for the trial with score of >2 on the General Health Questionnaire and score of >16 on the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule. These LHW clusters were randomised on a 1 : 1 allocation ratio using a computer-based software through a simple randomisation method to the Group PM+ intervention or Enhanced Usual Care. The Group PM+ intervention consisted of five weekly sessions of 2 h duration delivered by local non-specialist females under supervision. The primary outcome was individual psychological distress, measured by levels of anxiety and depression on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at 7th week after baseline. Secondary outcomes include symptoms of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), general psychological profile, levels of functioning and generalised psychological distress. Intervention acceptability was explored through in-depth interviews. RESULTS The results show that lay-helpers with no prior mental health experience can be trained to achieve the desired competency to successfully deliver the intervention in community settings under supervision. There was a good intervention uptake, with Group PM+ considered useful by participants, their families and lay-helpers. The outcome evaluation, which was not based on a large enough study to identify statistically significant results, indicated statistically significant improvements in depression, anxiety, general psychological profile and functioning. The PTSD symptoms and depressive disorder scores showed a trend in favour of the intervention. CONCLUSION This trial showed robust acceptance in the local settings with delivery by non-specialists under supervision by local trained females. The trial paves the way for further adaptation and exploration of the outcomes through larger-scale implementation and definitive randomised controlled trials in the local settings.

Abstract
Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with a dismal prognosis. The pathogenesis almost invariably involves Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, although EBV-negative ENKTLs are frequently reported in the western hemisphere. Treatment of these lymphomas consists of aggressive chemotherapy with dexamethasone, methotrexate, ifosfamide, L-asparaginase and etoposide (SMILE regimen). However, the SMILE regimen is poorly tolerated by elderly patients; therefore, treatment options are limited to palliative radiation and chemotherapy and/or hospice care. Recently, binding of programmed death (PD)-1 with its ligand (PD-L1) expressed on tumor cells was shown to downregulate effector T-cell function and may represent a potent mechanism of immune evasion in classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and aggressive B-cell lymphomas. Thus, targeting PD-L1/PD-1 to inhibit effector T-cell signaling may be a promising therapeutic strategy for these NK/T-cell lymphomas. We herein report the clinical efficacy and feasibility of the anti-PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab used concurrently with radiation therapy and as maintenance therapy in an elderly female patient. The findings demonstrated that pembrolizumab may be an effective and well-tolerated treatment for this type of lymphoma.

Abstract
Right-sided colon cancer (RCC) has worse prognosis compared to left-sided colon cancer (LCC) and rectal cancer. The reason for this difference in outcomes is not well understood. We performed comparative somatic and proteomic analyses of RCC, LCC and rectal cancers to understand the unique molecular features of each tumor sub-types. Utilizing a novel in silico clonal evolution algorithm, we identified common tumor-initiating events involving APC, KRAS and TP53 genes in RCC, LCC and rectal cancers. However, the individual role-played by each event, their order in tumor development and selection of downstream somatic alterations were distinct in all three anatomical locations. Some similarities were noted between LCC and rectal cancer. Hotspot mutation analysis identified a nonsense mutation, APC R1450* specific to RCC. In addition, we discovered new significantly mutated genes at each tumor location, Further in silico proteomic analysis, developed by our group, found distinct central or hub proteins with unique interactomes among each location. Our study revealed significant differences between RCC, LCC and rectal cancers not only at somatic but also at proteomic level that may have therapeutic relevance in these highly complex and heterogeneous tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE The survival benefit with adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with resected stage II-III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is modest. Efforts to develop prognostic or predictive biomarkers in these patients have not yielded clinically useful tests. We report findings from the Lung Adjuvant Cisplatin Evaluation (LACE)-Bio-II study, in which we analyzed next-generation sequencing and long-term outcomes data from > 900 patients with early-stage NSCLC treated prospectively in adjuvant landmark clinical trials. We used a targeted gene panel to assess the prognostic and predictive effect of mutations in individual genes, DNA repair pathways, and tumor mutation burden (TMB). METHODS A total of 908 unmatched, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, resected lung cancer tumor specimens were sequenced using a targeted panel of 1,538 genes. Stringent filtering criteria were applied to exclude germline variants and artifacts related to formalin fixation. Disease-free survival, overall survival, and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) were assessed in Cox models stratified by trial and adjusted for treatment, age, sex, performance score, histology, type of surgery, and stage. RESULTS Nonsynonymous mutations were identified in 1,515 genes in 908 tumor samples. High nonsynonymous TMB (> 8 mutations/Mb) was prognostic for favorable outcomes (ie, overall survival, disease-free survival, and LCSS) in patients with resected NSCLC. LCSS benefit with adjuvant chemotherapy was more pronounced in patients with low nonsynonymous TMBs (≤ 4 mutations/Mb). Presence of mutations in DNA repair pathways, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, TP53 alteration subtype, and intratumor heterogeneity was neither prognostic nor predictive. Statistically significant effect of mutations in individual genes was difficult to determine due to high false-discovery rates. CONCLUSION High nonsynonymous TMB was associated with a better prognosis in patients with resected NSCLC. In addition, the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy on LCSS was more pronounced in patients with low nonsynonymous TMBs. Studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Nearly all patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) eventually relapse with chemoresistant disease. The molecular mechanisms driving chemoresistance in SCLC remain un-characterized. Here, we describe whole-exome sequencing of paired SCLC tumor samples procured at diagnosis and relapse from 12 patients, and unpaired relapse samples from 18 additional patients. Multiple somatic copy number alterations, including gains in ABCC1 and deletions in MYCL, MSH2, and MSH6, are identifiable in relapsed samples. Relapse samples also exhibit recurrent mutations and loss of heterozygosity in regulators of WNT signaling, including CHD8 and APC. Analysis of RNA-sequencing data shows enrichment for an ASCL1-low expression subtype and WNT activation in relapse samples. Activation of WNT signaling in chemosensitive human SCLC cell lines through APC knockdown induces chemoresistance. Additionally, in vitro-derived chemoresistant cell lines demonstrate increased WNT activity. Overall, our results suggest WNT signaling activation as a mechanism of chemoresistance in relapsed SCLC.

Abstract
Next-generation Sequencing (NGS) of cancer tissues is increasingly being carried out to identify somatic genomic alterations that may guide physicians to make therapeutic decisions. However, a single tissue biopsy may not reflect complete genomic architecture due to the heterogeneous nature of tumors. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis is a robust noninvasive method to detect and monitor genomic alterations in blood in real time. We analyzed 28 matched tissue NGS and ctDNA from gastrointestinal and lung cancers for concordance of somatic genomic alterations, driver, and actionable alterations. Six patients (21%) had at least one concordant mutation between tissue and ctDNA sequencing. At the gene level, among all the mutations (n = 104) detected by tissue and blood sequencing, 7.7% (n = 8) of mutations were concordant. Tissue and ctDNA sequencing identified driver mutations in 60% and 64% of the tested samples, respectively. We found high discordance between tissue and ctDNA testing, especially with respect to the driver and actionable alterations. Both tissue and ctDNA NGS detected actionable alterations in 25% of patients. When somatic alterations identified by each test were combined, the total number of patients with actionable mutations increased to 32%. Our data show significant discordance between tissue NGS and ctDNA analysis. These results suggest tissue NGS and ctDNA NGS are complementary approaches rather than exclusive of each other. When performed in isolation, tissue and ctDNA NGS can each potentially miss driver and targetable alterations, suggesting that both approaches should be incorporated to enhance mutation detection rates. Larger prospective studies are needed to better clarify this emerging precision oncology landscape. Mol Cancer Ther; 17(5); 1123-32. ©2018 AACR.
