TL;DR: This study showed that mismatch-repair status predicted clinical benefit of immune checkpoint blockade with pembrolizumab, and high somatic mutation loads were associated with prolonged progression-free survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer Genome Landscapes
Bert Vogelstein,Nickolas Papadopoulos,Victor E. Velculescu,Shibin Zhou,Luis A. Diaz,Kenneth W. Kinzler +5 more
TL;DR: This work has revealed the genomic landscapes of common forms of human cancer, which consists of a small number of “mountains” (genes altered in a high percentage of tumors) and a much larger number of "hills" (Genes altered infrequently).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Recurrent mutations in the active site of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) occurred in a large fraction of young patients and in most patients with secondary GBMs and were associated with an increase in overall survival.

TL;DR: Evaluating the efficacy of PD-1 blockade in patients with advanced mismatch repair–deficient cancers across 12 different tumor types showed that colorectal cancers with mismatch repair deficiency were sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade with antibodies to programmed death receptor–1 (PD-1).

TL;DR: The ability of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to detect tumors in 640 patients with various cancer types was evaluated and suggested that ctDNA is a broadly applicable, sensitive, and specific biomarker that can be used for a variety of clinical and research purposes.
