” Here latest ASCO Clinical Practice Guideline:
Germline and Somatic Genomic Testing for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

This guideline highlights the critical role of germline and somatic DNA sequencing in shaping treatment strategies, identifying actionable mutations, and guiding cascade testing for families. It’s a significant step forward in precision oncology, addressing not only therapeutic implications but also prognostic factors and family risk management.

Key recommendations include:

  • Universal germline testing for all patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
  • Somatic testing to identify actionable mutations and guide targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors.
  • Consideration of ctDNA and repeat testing in specific scenarios to address evolving tumor biology.
