Take🏠messages: #CRC 🚫one disease!
✅Diff 🧬subtypes that define tx sensitivity
✅BRAFv600E is bad–but may be ⬆️sensitive to IO w MLH1 meth
✅Neoadj tx: 🦊FOXTROT= poss benefit, depends on subgroup
✅Keynote177: IO= way to go in dMMR!
@FlavioRochaMD presented a case of a 👩w anemia & 🥱
10 cm right sided, non-obstruct colon tumor w BRAFv600E mut and loss of MLH1.
Prev w breast ca; 👨👩👧👧w uterine, prostate, breast. Unfortunately, pt PS= 2!
For dMMR, IO seems 🗝️. Unclear whether familial, or sporadic- Keynote 177 includes both, as well as BRAF/MLH1
✅IO significantly outperforms chemo for dMMR
✅ATOMIC will eval whether there’s benefit to combining w chemo upfront
10/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀
…which raises a good❓Germline or sporadic?
Pt w strong FH and personal hx of breast ca, suggests Lynch syndrome.
As @HHampel1 points out, methylation MLH1 promoter common w BRAFv600E mutation= sporadic dMMR.
@FlavioRochaMD also took us through 🦊FOXTROT (neoadj chemo).
✅Slight survival ⬆️w neoadjuvant–BUT–much better rate of R0 resection (& fewer complications)
✅However- no substantial benefit in dMMR group (with cytotoxic neoadj chemo)
Back to pt: pembro x 4 months. Symptoms resolved!
⬆️PS👉surgery👉adjuvant FOL🦊!
🙏Sometimes PS is improved by tx
➡️Did you👂? We’re weekly! Join on May 17: @PTarantino presents a case of 2nd line HER2 tx in breast ca😀

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
