We recently presented two posters at the European Congress of Pathology 2024, in Florence, Italy, in collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceutical, a Johnson & Johnson company.
The posters provided real-world data insights on the genomic landscape of specific biomarkers associated with lung and prostate cancers, in a subset of European countries.
The first poster spotlight features Stefano Cheloni, Senior Bioinformatician – Tertiary Analysis at SOPHiA GENETICS, presenting the poster titled: “Real-world insights from France, Italy, Spain, and Austria for the investigation of common (exons 19,21) and rare (exons 18, 20) EGFR mutations in lung cancer”.
The identification of exon-specific EGFR mutations can guide the appropriate treatment of lung cancer with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or alternative targeted therapies. This project aimed to explore the landscape of next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing practices for EGFR mutations in clinical practice in a subset of European countries, to determine the potential number of individuals with lung cancer that could benefit from treatment with TKIs or alternative targeted therapies.

In our second poster spotlight, Adrian Janiszewski, Manager Bioinformatician – Team Lead Tertiary Analysis at SOPHiA GENETICS, showcases a poster titled: “NGS testing practices and molecular profiles of BRCA1/2 in prostate cancer: Real-world insights from France, Italy, Spain, and Austria”.
BRCA1/2 testing can inform which prostate cancer patients might respond to PARP inhibitors (PARPi). Having a better understanding of BRCA1/2 testing practices in the real-world setting can provide valuable insights into identifying gaps and opportunities to improve the identification of metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) patients who may benefit from PARPi treatment. In this study we investigated NGS testing practices results across specific European countries.
