#LiquidBiopsies
#CirculatingTumorDNA
#ctDNA

in a very 🎯 “Target-rich” disease
#Cholangiocarcinoma
#HPBCSM

~3️⃣0️⃣% actionable findings

Interestingly we found more #FGFR🧬 fusions on liquid🩸than tissue 🔬. #OncoAlert
@TempusLabs 🧵2️⃣ #GI21
#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.👇🏾
