International Society of Liquid Biopsy – ESMO’s New Global Guidelines for Molecular Tumor Boards
International Society of Liquid Biopsy posted on X:
“ESMO’s New Global Guidelines for Molecular Tumor Boards (MTBs).
Published in Annals of Oncology, this comprehensive special article by Ben Westphalen et al. and the ESMO Precision Oncology Working Group delivers international recommendations to standardize MTB structure, quality, and function in clinical practice.
Key Takeaways:
- MTBs should offer genomic-informed treatment plans, especially for complex cases.
- Interdisciplinary team: oncologists, molecular pathologists, clinical geneticists.
- Structured, evidence-based reports with ESCAT grading.
- Clear SOPs for referrals, consent, documentation and follow-up.
- Follow-up includes tracking treatment outcomes, clinical trial access, and longitudinal data.
- Emphasis on education, collaboration, and real-world evidence generation.
These recommendations serve as a global benchmark to elevate precision oncology programs and ensure equitable, effective, and scalable molecular cancer care.”
