“Outstanding discussions earlier today at the international WIN Consortium in cancer personalized medicine molecular tumor board with great suggestions to consider as options for therapy in complicated progressing tumors.

We discussed BRCA2, FBXW7, PIK3CA, BRAF amplification, EGFR amplification, TMB, potential toxicities, therapy, clinical trials, drug dosing and therapy combination prioritization.

Special thanks to our WIN MTB Chair Razelle Kurzrock at MCW Cancer Center and to Dr. Gerald Batist at McGill University for some great comments at today’s meeting.”
