Maya Kansara, Head of Translational Oncology Lab at Omico, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Pleased to share our recent publication in JCO Precision Oncology: a compelling case report describing an exceptional response to durvalumab plus tremelimumab in metastatic pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma with a pathogenic POLE mutation and an ultramutated phenotype.
We were happy to contribute to this work, with my lab supporting the IHC analysis, which showed PD-L1 positivity and tumour infiltrating lymphocytes.
While this is a single case, it highlights the value of combining molecular and pathology-based profiling in rare cancers.
Congratulations to Benjamin Koh for leading this work. Thanks to co-authors Subotheni Thavaneswaran, Frank Lin, John Grady, Meghana Maddula, Koroush S. Haghighi, Min Li Huang, Mandy L. Ballinger, John Simes, David M. Thomas, and David Goldstein.”
