🧐 What’s *special* about MUTYH mt biallelic tumors? 🧬
1/11 #TumorBoardTuesday
🧬Time for this week's Thursday Case🎀
We discussed germline MUTYH and immunotherapy in #Gastriccancer.

Take🏠msgs:
We discussed #Gastric#GEA and when/how to deploy IO:
✅gMUTYH mut are rare–but associate w/ IO efficacy!
✅MUTYH= base excision repair defect-> point mut, including KRAS G12C. Ongoing re: use of🎯targeted 💊+IO, but not yet SOC
2.5/11 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀
Take🏠msgs- cont’d:
✅Checkpoint inhib provide benefit in gastric CA, but controversy over PD-L1 cut-off
✅PD-L1 assessment is hard; tumor often w high variability
@FoggaciJoao presents case of 22 yo👩, who already had cancer twice (🫁 & CRC), now w new gastric adeno w peritoneal nodule. pMMR; HER2-; no tissue for PD-L1 eval
➡️What chemo? Can we incorporate IO? Here’s what the crowd thought:
Good discussion re: role of PD-L1 biomarker in #GastricCancer.
👉CM-649 =benefit, 🚫stratify by PD-L1
@rcavalhoonco points out meta analysis by Zhao et al: 👍IO only when CPS>=5. But, ORIENT-16 shows 👍in Asia even CPS<5.
NCCN= 5 as cut-off
🗝Maybe– KEYNOTE-062= pembro monotx non-inferior to chemo in pts w advanced #GastricCancer w PD-L1 CPS >1. CPS>10 trended📈toward best outcomes, as did pts w MSI-H disease.
🔹Caveat: most of study pop w CPS>10.
👨🏫 Which led to @FogacciJoao’s tweetorials focused on IO as well as how certain mutations, such as 🧬gMUTYH can create the right environment for IO to work.
✅MUTYH is a glycosylase that plays a 🗝key role in base excision repair (BER)
✅Tendency toward G:C-> T:A substitutions
✅@ShimaghavimiMD points out that up to 25% of MUTYH mut in #CRC assoc w KRAS G12C mutation!

We looked at dx and tx of Carcinoma of Unknown Primary (#CUP), including how 🧬 can change tx.
There was a lot to learn–we captured what we could of the discussion here:
2/9 #TumorBoardTuesday Thurs Case🎀
Take🏠: #CUP is complicated!
✅Comprehensive approach needed, including:
H&P,🔬, 🩻, 🧬
✅Overall inc of CUP is ⬇️–many liver CUP being recognized as cholangio
✅NGS can help augment the w/u
✅STK11= frequently mut in lung; ⬇️response to IO
🚨Special Friday Edition of #TBT🚨
This week, mgmt of #Pancreatic neuroendo tumors (pNET), led by @nanudasmd. We discussed SOC, role of IO, & brand🆕 💊. Buckle up! We captured the discussion in this moment:
2/9 #TumorBoardTuesday Friday Case🎀
Take🏠messages:
We discussed #pNET:
✅Well diff= sens to cape/tem; high% of MGMT methylation -but not predictive of response
✅Tx dictated by disease extent
✅NOT all NETs are ➕ on dotatate! If they are, ☢️PRRT option- but may use late line
✅DESTINY-CRC01
➡️T Yoshino, et al "RAPID" Abs 119
⏩53 "Group A" HER2+ RASWT CRC pts
⏩ORR 45%, mOS 15.5 mos
👍Even with prior HER2 Tx
😨But GR>=3 AEs in 65% of pts, 9% ILD
2⃣/
✅DESTINY-Gastric 01
➡️K Yamaguchi, et al "RAPID" Abs 242
⏩Randomized Ph II trial of >=2nd line💊
👉T-DXd vs. Physician’s choice (PC) which was Iri or Paclitaxel
⏩mOS 12.5 v 8.9 mos
⏩ORR 51% vs 14%
😨But Grade >= 3 AEs were 86% vs 57%
