Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with metastatic disease posing significant therapeutic challenges. While anti-EGFR therapy has improved outcomes for patients with and wild-type tumors, resistance remains a major hurdle, limiting treatment efficacy. The concept of negative hyperselection has emerged as a refinement of molecular profiling, identifying additional genomic alterations-such as and amplificationsand mutations-that predict resistance to anti-EGFR agents.

Background: Several pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) biomarkers beyond the traditional carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9 have been identified but are lacking large-scale prospective validation. This prospective cohort study evaluated the prognostic impact of potential PA biomarkers.
Methods: We enrolled 238 of 288 patients with histologically proven PA.

Introduction: Adding monoclonal antibodies to chemotherapy drastically changed the landscape of advanced colorectal cancer. The prediction of benefit from anti-EGFR therapies is mainly based on the absence of mutations in RAS and BRAF genes, the primary tumor sidedness and microsatellite MSS/MSI status. Molecular hyperselection may optimize the outcome of patients receiving anti-EGFR while detecting additional resistance alterations, both in chemo-naïve and in chemo-refractory settings.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide and is often diagnosed at advanced stages, limiting treatment options. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of liquid biopsy in detecting genetic mutations in NSCLC, focusing on its sensitivity, specificity, clinical utility, and potential to guide personalized treatment strategies.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies published between 1990 and September 2024.

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from peripheral blood has emerged as a crucial biomarker source in oncology research. To enhance the detection of somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), we developed eSENSES, a 2 Mb breast cancer-targeted NGS panel. It includes 15,000 genome-wide SNPs, 500 focal SNPs in breast cancer driver regions, and exons from 81 commonly altered genes, alongside a custom computational approach.
