Surgery for Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer: Long-Term Outcomes

Joseph D. Forrester, Deshka Foster, James M. Ford, Teri A. Longacre, Uri Ladabaum, Sara Fry, Jeffrey A. Norton

Summary: This study reports the long-term outcomes of total gastrectomy for patients with a family history of gastric cancer and CDH1 gene mutations that predispose to hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). The results show that total gastrectomy is recommended for patients with inherited CDH1 mutations and the long-term quality of life following the surgery is acceptable.

Merrick, Sarah A. Mazzili, Ethan Cerami, Scott J. Rodig, Sandro Santagata, Peter K. Sorger

Summary: The imminent release of tissue atlases combining multichannel microscopy with single-cell sequencing and other omics data from normal and diseased specimens calls for data and metadata standards to guide data deposition, curation and release. The Minimum Information about Highly Multiplexed Tissue Imaging (MITI) standard, derived from best practices in genomics and microscopy, is introduced for highly multiplexed tissue images and traditional histology.

Somatic tumor testing implications for Lynch syndrome germline genetic testing

Kathleen Barrus, Natasha Purington, Nicolette Chun, Uri Ladabaum, James M. Ford

Summary: In cancer treatment, somatic tumor sequencing is commonly used to tailor therapy, but it can also identify patients with germline pathogenic variants causing cancer predisposition syndromes like Lynch syndrome. However, clinicians seem to be unaware of this implication and fail to refer a significant proportion of these patients for genetic testing.

Enhancing Repair of Oxidative DNA Damage with Small-Molecule Activators of MTH1

Yujeong Lee, Yoshiyuki Onishi, Lisa McPherson, Anna M. Kietrys, Marian Hebenbrock, Yong Woong Jun, Ishani Das, Shanthi Adimoolam, Debin Ji, Michael G. Mohsen, James M. Ford, Eric T. Kool

Summary: Impaired DNA repair activity is associated with increased cancer rates. This study found that certain tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as nilotinib, can activate the repair enzyme MTH1, which cleanses oxidatively damaged nucleotides. Structural optimization resulted in compounds that strongly activate MTH1 and decrease mutagenic nucleotides in cellular DNA. These findings suggest that MTH1 activators may be a promising strategy to suppress tumorigenesis in individuals with elevated cancer risks.

Somatic tumor mutations in moderate risk cancer genes: Targets for germline confirmatory testing

Hannah Llorin, Madeline Graf, Nicolette Chun, James Ford

Summary: This study shows that the presence of mutations in moderate risk breast and ovarian cancer genes identified on tumor genomic profiling (TGP) increases eligibility for germline testing, capturing individuals with hereditary cancer syndromes that would not have otherwise been identified.

National Cancer Institute Combination Therapy Platform Trial with Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice

Doroshow, Lyndsay N. Harris, Jeffrey A. Moscow

Summary: In the past decade, there have been multiple trials to determine the effectiveness of treating cancer based on specific genomic alterations. However, most patients do not respond to single-agent therapies targeting a single alteration, and drug resistance often develops. To address this, the NCI has developed NCI-ComboMATCH, a study to explore genomically-directed combination therapies and overcome drug resistance.

Clinical implications of conflicting variant interpretations in the cancer genetics clinic

Zell, Uri Ladabaum, Kevin J. McDonnell, James M. Ford, Giovanni Parmigiani, Danielle Braun, Allison W. Kurian, Stephen B. Gruber, Gregory E. Idos

Summary: The clinical impact of conflicting classifications of genetic variants issued by commercial laboratories was studied. Results from 2000 patients undergoing genetic testing were analyzed, and discrepancies between laboratory-provided classifications and other laboratories were identified. Only 36% of patients with conflicting classifications had a documented discussion by a provider. The study highlights the frequency of interpretation discrepancies and the importance of clinician awareness.

Solit, Ghassan K. Abou-Alfa

Summary: In patients with biliary tract cancer, HER2 alterations correlate with poor prognosis. A phase II clinical trial showed that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor neratinib has some efficacy in treating advanced biliary tract cancers with HER2-mutation positive. The objective response rate to neratinib was 16% (95% CI 4.5-36.1%).

Hennessy, Erica L. Mayer, Gordon B. Mills, Thomas P. Slavin, Alexander Gutin, Roisin M. Connolly, Melinda L. Telli, Vered Stearns, Jerry S. Lanchbury, Kirsten M. Timms

Summary: This study evaluated whether the genomic instability score (GIS) distributions of BRCA1/2-deficient estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer (ER + BC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are similar to that of ovarian cancer. The results showed that the GIS distribution of BRCA1/2-deficient samples was lower in ER + BC compared to ovarian cancer, but there was no significant difference in TNBC. In TNBC patients, the GIS thresholds were validated using clinical response data to platinum therapy.

Summary: The study found that Taselisib monotherapy had limited activity in heavily pretreated cancer patients with PIK3CA-mutated tumors. The presence of a PIK3CA mutation alone does not appear to be a sufficient predictor of Taselisib activity.
