Erman Akkus: Genome targeted cancer therapies in NCCN guidelines according to the ESMO MCBS and ESCAT

Erman Akkus, Medical Oncology Fellow at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, shared a post on X:

“Genome targeted cancer therapies in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines according to the ESMO MCBS and ESCAT.

411 recommendations:

  • 16% relied on only case reports or pre-clinical studies
  • 78% of clinical trials are phase I/II
  • 76% of clinical trials are single arm
  • In 78%, primary endpoint is ORR
  • 60% is ESCAT tier 1
  • Only 12% showed substantial clinical benefit (ESMO-MCBS grades 4-5).”
