2/11 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀

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!
3/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀

Take🏠messages (cont’d):

✅ATOMIC will help answer ❓chemo/IO combo upfront is best in dMMR and BRAFv600E
✅POLEM trial also looking at adjuv IO in dMMR @shafiarahman_

📚We captured the discussion in this moment: twitter.com/i/events/15212…
4/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Performance status (PS) is key, but have to meet pt where they are- 💥everyone is an individual!💥

📌 Do no harm--but also recognize when therapy could improve PS - requires lots of discussion with patient!🤝
5/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀

@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!

➡️What, if any, chemo upfront? Image
6/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thursday Case🎀

😱Given PS of 2, pt not a candidate for cytotoxic chemo or for ✂️ upfront. BUT- dMMR. And w 🧬BRAF mutation!

🤔What now❓
💡Consensus- attempt IO, watching closely for toxicity. Can IO be a bridge to improved PS ➡️surgery?
7/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀

dMMR in #CRC = big changes in tx, based on Keynote 177.

@ShimagavimiMD also brought BEACON to the group’s attention- BRAF, MEK inhib + EGFR inhib beat cytotox chemo in BRAFv600E

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
8/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀
@FlavioRochaMD discussed what drives #CRC.

🔑: 4+ molec subtypes, each different!
✳️CMS1: Immune- dMMR (15% of pts)--💪IO benefit!
✳️CMS2: Canonical (37%)
✳️CMS3: Metabolic (13%); mixed MSI status
✳️CMS4: Mesenchymal (23%)
✳️Other (12%) Image
9/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thursday Case🎀

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 Image
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.

🤔Could our pt have both?
11/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Thurs Case🎀

@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) Image
12/12 #TumorBoardTuesday
Case🎀

Back to pt: pembro x 4 months. Symptoms resolved!
⬆️PS👉surgery👉adjuvant FOL🦊!

🙏Sometimes PS is improved by tx

1/9 #TumorBoardTuesday Thursday Case Wrap Up🎀

⏰ for #TBT Case Wrap Up!

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:

twitter.com/i/events/15089…
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 Image
3/9 #TumorBoardTuesday Thursday Case🎀

@LaurenBzak’s case: Pt p/w solitary 🧠 lesion ➡️ poorly diff adenocarcinoma. But–not a primary CNS malignancy. NOTHING outside 🧠on CT or PET.

🧐What should we do next?

👍Detailed H&P (smoking hx)
👍PATH CONSULT!

1/9 #TumorBoardTuesday Friday Case Wrap Up

🚨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:

twitter.com/i/events/14995…
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
2.5/9 #TumorBoardTuesday Friday Case🎀

Take 🏠 messages continued:

✅Mixed track record of IO, despite TMB increase s/p TMZ. Higher prolif rate = better IO response
✅New: belzutifan (HIF-2a inhibitor) w activity in pNET!
✅Each pt is different- 💊 customized to pt situation
