Background: Molecular tumor profiling to identify oncogenic drivers and actionable mutations has a profound impact on how lung cancer is treated. Especially in the subgroup of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), molecular testing for certain mutations is crucial in daily clinical practice and is recommended by international guidelines. To date, a standardized approach to identify druggable genetic alterations are lacking.

Methods: Three separate cohorts received SCIG 16.
Introduction: Human immunoglobulin (IG) administered intravenously (IVIG) or subcutaneously (SCIG) is used to prevent infections in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDDs) such as primary antibody immunodeficiencies.
Areas Covered: This review provides an overview of PIDD with a focus on SCIG treatment, including the properties and clinical trial results of a new SCIG 16.5% (Cutaquig, Octapharma) in pediatric patients.
Introduction: Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is among the most common carcinomas in women and men. In the advanced stage, patients are treated based on the RAS status. Recent studies indicate that in the future, in addition to KRAS and NRAS, alterations in other genes, such as PIK3CA or TP53, will be considered for therapy.

The first instance of IG replacement for primary immunodeficiency disease was a 16.5% formulation administered subcutaneously in 1952.
