Towards personalized treatment of smoking-related lung cancers
G Middleton, Nature, June 18, 2021

An innovative approach to a phase II clinical trial aims to test the effects of multiple targeted treatments simultaneously in participants in the UK National Lung Matrix Trial. The design makes it possible to study small numbers of people with rare mutations in non-small-cell lung tumours.

Deep learning for end-to-end kidney cancer diagnosis on multi-phase abdominal computed tomography
KH Uhm et al, NPJ Precision Oncology, June 18, 2021

While deep learning has been recently applied to the automated diagnosis of renal tumor, classification of a wide range of subtype classes has not been sufficiently studied yet. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end deep learning model for the differential diagnosis of five major histologic subtypes of renal tumors including both benign and malignant tumors on multi-phase CT.

A DNA methylation-based liquid biopsy for triple-negative breast cancer
K Cristal et al, NPJ Precision Oncology, June 16, 2021

Based on a multiplexed targeted sequencing approach, this assay included 53 amplicons from 47 regions. Analysis of a previously characterized cohort of women with metastatic TNBC with limited quantities of plasma (<2?ml) produced an AUC of 0.92 for detection of a tumor with a sensitivity of 76% for a specificity of 100%.

Genetic testing for inherited colorectal cancer and polyposis, 2021 revision: a technical standard of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)
R Mao et al, Genetics in Medicine, June 17, 2021

Given the overlapping phenotypes of the cancer syndromes along with the limited sensitivity of using clinical criteria alone, a multigene panel testing approach to diagnose these conditions using next-generation sequencing (NGS) is effective and efficient.
