Lung cancer presenting with central nervous system metastasis: Clinicopathological and molecular analysis of 171 cases
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1092913422001848?via=ihub
A subset of lung carcinoma presents initially with brain metastasis. Precise subtyping is mandatory for optimized treatment of these advanced aggressive carcinomas. We herein analyzed surgical biopsies from 171 Patients...
Conclusions: This study highlights a highly heterogeneous molecular background in lung cancer presenting with CNS metastases. These findings highlight the need for individualized tumor testing strategies looking for potential therapeutic targets for this aggressive disease.

Conclusions: On the basis of current evidence, population-level simulations demonstrate that clinically relevant gains in survival with non-negligible reduction in costs are obtainable from widespread adoption of NGS testing and appropriate treatment matching for patients with advanced nonsquamous non–small-cell lung cancer.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Symposium is being held Jan. 19 to 21, 2023, in San Francisco. The event is being held in person and online, with online-only access also available.

The .gov means it's official. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you're on a federal government site. The site is secure....
Conclusions: Our results suggest that the Idylla GeneFusion assay is a reliable tool to define gene fusion status and may be a valuable stand-alone diagnostic test when time efficiency is needed or NGS is not feasible.
