🚨There’s significant relapse risk in ≥ Stage II RCC even after local tx✂️
🔢We use tools like Fox Chase’s ASSURE Prognostic nomogram to estimate disease free survival (DFS)
📈Example for our pt below

Thurs Case🎀
Take🏠msg:
✅ctDNA= both tx decision making & MRD in #NSCLC
✅Identify actionable muts in dz where a bx not possible
✅Pros (serum test) & cons ($, inability to multiplex with IHC- aka PD-L1 status)

Thurs Case🎀
🎥 TBT in a video
ctDNA + tissue-based NGS= highest sensitivity (do NOT miss actionable mutations in #NSCLC).
ctDNA can be used to:
🔹Identify actionable mutations
🔹Track disease status (MRD)
🔹Adapt targeted therapies based on 2dary muts

Also have to understand caveats!
1⃣ctDNA works best in higher volume dz.
2⃣Know when to suspect germline mut (variant allele fractions near 50%)
3⃣Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential muts that could mislead!

So I realized it might be good to do a recap here of my story, otherwise known as, “No, really, I promise I almost died six years ago.”
(I guess this is probably a good time to warn you all that I have a warped sense of humor. #thankscancer )

May 2016, five days after my 29th birthday, I am diagnosed in an @StRoseHospitals ER when a CT scan finds a 13 cm tumor that has taken over my right kidney. The amazing ER doctor & PA had already called a local urologist so I can see him first thing in the morning.
My local (Vegas) urologist says, “I’ve got one surgeon in town who *might* be willing to take your case.” Yikes! He encourages going to CA instead, specifically to @UCLAHealth. He steps out of the room & calls the surgeon who did *his* nephrectomy on his cell phone to get me in.
