TL;DR

Integrating pharmacogenomic results into the molecular tumor board review led to improved therapeutic efficacy, such as avoiding the use of tamoxifen due to an increased risk of treatment failure and better pain management by detecting reduced CYP2D6 activation.

Abstract

Simple Summary Integration of pharmacogenomic results with an oncology patient’s tumor molecular test results using Flype, a software developed at our institution, led to the identification of actionable genomic alterations to determine therapy options in patients with advanced cancers for whom standard therapies had been exhausted. Software enhancements to Flype supported the Kellogg Cancer Genomic Initiative, improved molecular test report turnaround times, while providing tools for molecular tumor board patient reviews. Integrating pharmacogenomic results into the molecular tumor board review led to improved therapeutic efficacy, such as avoiding the use of tamoxifen due to an increased risk of treatment failure and better pain management by detecting reduced CYP2D6 activation.

Next‐Generation Sequencing‐Based Molecular Profiling and Management of Advanced Solid Tumors: A Real‐World Experience in a Community‐Based Academic Cancer Center

ABSTRACT Background Advances in molecular and cell biology have led to a paradigm shift in cancer management. We implemented next‐generation sequencing (NGS) at our community‐based academic cancer center over a decade ago. We sought to optimize the use of genomics and understand its impact in identifying actionable gen...
