Excited to share our TRACERx nature publication on circulating tumor DNA (#ctDNA, #MRD) detection in resectable lung cancer led by @AbboshChris, @AFrankell, @juditkisistok, Thomas Harrison, Aaron Garnett, @nbirkbak and @NickyMcGranahan 👇👇👇 Tweetorial🧵

🔬Circulating tumor DNA is a powerful biomarker that can guide and monitor treatment response in early-stage lung cancer patients. Technologies enabling ctDNA detection and characterization are advancing rapidly but we need to understand how to use them in the clinic…
👥 Through collaboration with scientists at @TheCrick and @uclcancer, @AstraZeneca and @Invitae, we developed and validated an anchored-multiplex PCR approach ctDNA detection in 197 patients who donated over 1000 plasma samples to TRACERx.

I just attended one of the biggest cancer meetings in the world. #ASH22 @ASH_hematology

For my followers here is a snapshot of the incredible progress happening with cancer treatment. It’s good. Thread.
1/ There is a revolution in cancer therapy that uses the power of our own immune system to fight cancer cells:

CAR-T cells
Bispecific antibodies

Both these approaches have already produced spectacular results in many cancers and we are just starting.
2/ CAR-T cells: take your own immune system cells out, engineer them to target a specific cancer, and then put them back in the body to go kill the cancer cells. A few CAR-T products have already been FDA approved. Many more to come. my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatme… Image

Delighted to share our new study nature.com/articles/s4158… introducing PhasED-Seq out today @NatureBiotech.
A fantastic collaboration from @StanfordMedicine led by Dave_Kurtz & Joanne Soo with @max_diehn to help transform #cancer interception & monitoring by improving #LiquidBiopsy #ctDNA detection of #MRD.
For many cancers & nearly all currently available techniques, the impressive KM plots of #ctDNA #MRD immediately after definitive Rx w/ curative-intent unfortunately still miss ~50% of all events which occur in the MRD-negative subset, thus having modest NPV.

#JPM2021 #AdaptiveBiotech My Highlights: my interest lies in their angle on #LiquidBiopsy for #EarlyCancerDiagnostics, but they also deal with Life Science Research and Drug Discovery.
Their T-Detect method is aiming at #MRD monitoring, here shown in a slide that relates it to their ImmunoSEQ T-MAP Cancer mapping tool, and their Identification of clinical TCR candidates.
They stress the T-cell Diagnostics angle in different slides. I recall only @freenome explicitly mentioning immune-profiling from the group of companies in early cancer diagnostics and #epigenomics profiling (Grail/GH/Thrive/Freenome/BioStar/CEGX/etc.)

JPM Healthcare Daily Roundup #JPM2021

The first day of the conference hasn't disappointed, especially if you're a fan of talking cubes. What is this mysterious object and what sorcery is inside?

See disclosures at the end.
The Tempus One, meant to be carried in a doctor's coat or sat at the bedside, is a physical manifestation of @TempusLabs' genomic and phenotypic data-lake. Oncologists can ask One all sorts of questions regarding their patients, though I'm unsure if it'll (...)
(...) just reflex you to a computer after a sufficiently difficult question. I'm sure we'll learn more soon. Has this sort of form-factor been tried before?

I'm just hoping it has adjustable humor/honesty settings like TARS from Interstellar.

Moving right along.

Still miles to go. OS median of 16 months pointing again to the systemic nature of disease. Need to piggyback these local approaches to better systemic. #OncoAlert
