Nicholas Bevins, MD, PhD, discusses the results from an in silico comparison of frequently used next-generation sequencing panels. The analysis aimed to identify the impact of the panel composition on tumor mutational burden calculations.

Nicholas Bevins, MD, PhD, a postgraduate resident at the University of California, San Diego, discusses the results from an in silico comparison of frequently used next-generation sequencing panels. The analysis aimed to identify the impact of the panel composition on tumor mutational burden (TMB) calculations. Results from the analysis were presented in a poster at the 2019 Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) Annual Meeting and Expo.
Clinicians at the University of California, San Diego, questioned what the difference was between different lab-based panels and Foundation Medicine panels, so investigators sought to compare how the different panel compositions may impact TMB.
New APL Treatment Shows Promise: Higher Survival Rates, Less Toxicity
July 6th 2024ATO/ATRA plus idarubicin showed superior 2-year EFS (88% vs 70%) and 5-year EFS (87% vs 55%) compared to ATRA/chemotherapy. The trial indicated lower hematologic toxicity with ATO/ATRA, including reduced rates of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia.
