Abstract

Precision oncology relies on integrating tumour fraction, variant allele frequency, clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential assessment, pathogenicity, and clinical context into next-generation sequencing interpretation, enabling biologically informed and clinically meaningful treatment decisions while reducing the risk of overinterpreting nontumour or nonactionable genomic alterations.

Transcriptome profiling of cell-free RNAs in prostate cancer patients on active surveillance

In this feasibility study, plasma cfRNA transcriptomes from 64 men with prostate cancer on active surveillance revealed differences between stable disease and progression to radical prostatectomy and suggested a predominantly non-tumour origin of circulating RNA. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of cfRNA tran...

Lessons from Cohort Studies of Targetable Metabolic Deficiencies in Lung Cancer

Summary MTAP loss is among the most common potentially targetable driver mutations in NSCLC. Early phase clinical trials are ongoing. Although susceptible to various biases, retrospective studies may serve as a historical control to interpret single arm studies. Combination therapies and novel biomarkers may also impro...

HALP score in solid tumors: Prognostic value, heterogeneity, and translational considerations

Highlights • HALP integrates anemia, nutrition, immunity, and systemic inflammation.• Low HALP is generally linked to poorer outcomes across solid tumors.• Cutoff heterogeneity limits threshold transferability and clinical use.• Prospective validation is required before routine implementation.
