Profile of the Roche cobas® EGFR mutation test v2 for non-small cell lung cancer
2017
Abstract: Introduction: The discovery of driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has led to the development of genome-based personalized medicine. Fifteen to 20% of adenocarcinomas harbor an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation associated with responses to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Individual laboratories' expertise and the availability of appropriate equipment are valuable assets in predictive molecular pathology, although the choice of methods should be determined by the nature of the samples to be tested and whether the detection of only well-characterized EGFR mutations or rather, of all detectable mutations, is required.Areas covered:…
Abstract 4082: Preclinical assessment of external or targeted radiotherapy in combination with immunotherapies and co-development of companion imagin…
2019
Abstract Immunotherapies have proven to be highly efficient for cancer treatments and combination with either internal vectorized or external radiotherapies can enhance this efficacy through notably increasing tumor immune infiltrate. The clinical evaluation of such combination therapies requires expertise and exquisite processes in multiple fields, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine. Similarly, this applies into preclinical settings for assessing proof of concept of novel combinations. Herein, we will present our preclinical evaluation process to combine external or internal (i.e. lutetium-177 radiolabeled molecule) radiotherapy with immunotherapies that include radiochemistr…
