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🧵

nature.com/articles/s4158…
🔬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.

Great idea: time for Elacestrant thread Tuesday! 🧵

But first a reminder: access to paywalled papers from @Annals_Oncology, @ESMO_Open & multiple other affiliated journals is free for @myESMO members, and I could not recommend more to become a member! esmo.org/membership

Endocrine treatment is among the most effective treatment strategies we have for breast cancer. 50 years ago, the approval of the SERD tamoxifen really revolutionized the field, & we still use the drug today.

Yet, no novel ET had been approved for the last 20 years. Until now

Multiple oral SERDs (selective estrogen receptor degraders) are being developed for patients with HR+ MBC. The first to achieve positive phase 3 results was elacestrant, tested in the #EMERALD trial vs. SoC ET (fulvestrant or AI). Primary endpoint -> PFS overall & in ESR1-mut

Very excited to share our new study on determinants of resistance to anti-CD19 CAR T-cells (CART19) in large B-cell lymphomas (LBCLs)! Out today in @Cancer_Cell /1

A fantastic collaboration from @StanfordMed and @StanfordCancer led by Brian Sworder, David Kurtz, @StefanAlig, and Matthew Frank with David Miklos & @max_diehn to help improve outcomes following CAR T-cell therapy in lymphomas & beyond /2

I would like to do my 2nd deep dive post #ASCO22 analysis on #ctDNA guided adjuvant therapy for pts with stage II colon cancer‼️

✳️The DYNAMIC trial is certainly step forward (kudos) ‼️But doesn’t answer many questions❗️@OncoAlert @manjuggm @CrcChange @TheColonClub Why ?👇
1️⃣ Firstly, the whole point of ctDNA is identification of MRD so to give RIGHT chemotherapy to RIGHT patients❗️

✳️Not only reduce adjuvant tx, but offer it to patients who may potentially miss that opportunity (such as offering folfox to a patient with ctDNA (+)T3N0 disease)❗️
2️⃣The DYNAMIC suggests we get same DFS rate whether we use ctDNA or conventional risks for decision‼️
✳️Then one would rightfully wonder why to use ctDNA over conventional clinicopathological criteria if we get same outcomes anyway by using MORE oxaliplation❓just to reduce 5FU❓

#ASCO22
✳️Happy to say there is great progress for patients with CRC‼️
@OncoAlert @ASCO @manjuggm @CrcChange‼️
Here is summary of some key studies 👇
1️⃣ Immune checkpoint inhibitor monothetapy with dostarlimab for MMR-D is certainly practice changing❗️

✳️Although long term outcomes are needed, no need to reinvent the wheel‼️

✳️ Once a deep response achieved in MMR-D CRC it is very durable even in metastatic setting ‼️
2️⃣ #ctDNA study (DYNAMIC) was my second favorite study ❗️

✳️ We are certainly in the right pathway to use #ctDNA however we have to be careful for false negative results in high risk population: T4 disease ‼️

✳️We need more trials to get more data ❗️Enroll COBRA/CIRCULATE

#ASCO22
✳️DYNAMIC trial results are highly exciting and glad to see field is moving forward !

✳️Very encouraging findings that we are in right pathway to use #ctDNA for adjuvant tx‼️

However there are important points that we need to address 👇@ASCO @OncoAlert @MoffittNews ImageImageImageImage
✳️Firstly, I am categorically against putting T4 and T3 disease into same pocket (stage II is highly heterogeneous)❗️

✳️Risk of peritoneal recurrence for T4 and T3 is not same and not even close ‼️

✳️Peritoneal microscopic disease doesn’t shed CtDNA as much as liver MRD‼️
✳️Moreover, control group was a bit vague in this study, conventional risk factors are used for ad therapy which can offer you different approaches ‼️

✳️Currently there is not consensus for high risk stage II in NCCN and options include observation vs FP alone or doublet ‼️

Welcome to #TumorBoardTuesday
Hello Everyone,

I’m Manju George, a stage 3b rectal cancer survivor
I was diagnosed in 2017 & I wasn’t yet 45 then

Are you excited to discuss #CtDNA testing?

Let's get started..
But first things 1st
Tell us about you
#PatientExperience #CRCSM
My tumor
-In the upper rectum near the recto-sigmoid
Clean CAP CT scan & MRI pelvis
CEA 1.0 at dx
LAR sx 1st
Stage 3b rectal, MSS, BRAF WT

No chemo-RT
4 cycles of CAPOX
Clean scans at the end of treatment🎉🎉

What about you?

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.

#Cholangiocarcinoma is the poster child of actionable aberrations & truly a 🎯“Target-rich” disease.

We focused on %numbers for aberrations for which there’s either an ✅approved drug, guideline endorsement, #clinicaltrials or even off-label reports/cases.👇🏾

We often don’t think of #ctDNA based platforms to be as sensitive for detecting fusions; when present it is real & an actionable finding.

Interestingly we found #FGFR🧬fusions

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.
