Abstract
Neoplasias of the hepatopancreatobiliary tract are growing in numbers, have the poorest prognosis of all major cancer entities, and thus represent a rising clinical problem. Their molecular diagnostic has dramatically improved, contributing to tumor subtyping, definition of malignancy, and uncovering cases with hereditary predisposition. Most of all, predictive molecular testing allows to identify cases amenable to treatment with the rising number of approved targeted drugs, immune-oncological treatment, and clinical trials. In this review, the current state of molecular testing and its contribution to clinical decision-making are outlined.

Abstract
In a recently published study a new genetic hypothesis was established that explained the existence of CTNNB1 mutations in Lynch syndrome-associated colorectal carcinomas (MLH1-LS-CRC). This hypothesis states that a mitotic recombination on chromosome 3p simultaneously leads to inactivation of the mismatch repair gene MLH1 and to the activation of CTNNB1. This explains the increased frequency of CTNNB1 mutations in MLH1-LS-CRC compared with other colon carcinomas. To test this hypothesis, various experiments were carried out that show that the first phase of recombination occurs in non-cancerous tissues, which favours the development of CTNNB1 mutations. This mechanism could explain the rapid tumour progression in MLH1-LS-CRC. The results highlight the importance of mitotic recombination in carcinogenesis and provide an insight into the genetic basis of colorectal carcinoma in the context of Lynch syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Testing for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations is an essential recommendation in guidelines for metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer, and is considered mandatory in European countries. However, in practice, challenges are often faced when carrying out routine biomarker testing, including access to testing, inadequate tissue samples and long turnaround times (TATs). MATERIALS AND METHODS To evaluate the real-world EGFR testing practices of European pathology laboratories, an online survey was set up and validated by the Pulmonary Pathology Working Group of the European Society of Pathology and distributed to 64 expert testing laboratories. The retrospective survey focussed on laboratory organisation and daily EGFR testing practice of pathologists and molecular biologists between 2018 and 2021. RESULTS TATs varied greatly both between and within countries. These discrepancies may be partly due to reflex testing practices, as 20.8% of laboratories carried out EGFR testing only at the request of the clinician. Many laboratories across Europe still favour single-test sequencing as a primary method of EGFR mutation identification; 32.7% indicated that they only used targeted techniques and 45.1% used single-gene testing followed by next-generation sequencing (NGS), depending on the case. Reported testing rates were consistent over time with no significant decrease in the number of EGFR tests carried out in 2020, despite the increased pressure faced by testing facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. ISO 15189 accreditation was reported by 42.0% of molecular biology laboratories for single-test sequencing, and by 42.3% for NGS. 92.5% of laboratories indicated they regularly participate in an external quality assessment scheme. CONCLUSIONS These results highlight the strong heterogeneity of EGFR testing that still occurs within thoracic pathology and molecular biology laboratories across Europe. Even among expert testing facilities there is variability in testing capabilities, TAT, reflex testing practice and laboratory accreditation, stressing the need to harmonise reimbursement technologies and decision-making algorithms in Europe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical trials with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) have yielded contradictory results. We aimed to evaluate treatment response and safety of ICI in ACC in a real-life setting. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of 54 patients with advanced ACC receiving ICI as compassionate use at six German reference centres between 2016 and 2022. METHODS Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) were assessed. RESULTS In 52 patients surviving at least 4 weeks after initiation of ICI, ORR was 13.5% (6-26) and DCR 24% (16-41). PFS was 3.0 months (95%CI 2.3-3.7). In all patients, median OS was 10.4 months (3.8-17). 17 TRAE occurred in 15 patients, which was associated with a longer PFS of 5.5 (1.9-9.2) vs. 2.5 (2.0- 3.0) months (HR 0.29, 95%CI 0.13-0.66, p=0.001) and OS of 28.2 (9.5-46.8) vs. 7.0 (4.1-10.2) months (HR 0.34, 95%CI 0.12-0.93). Positive tissue staining for programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) was associated with a longer PFS of 3.2 (2.6-3.8) vs. 2.3 (1.6-3.0, p<0.05) months. Adjusted for concomitant mitotane use, treatment with nivolumab was associated with lower risk of progression (HR 0.36, 0.15-0.90) and death (HR 0.20, 0.06-0.72) compared to pembrolizumab. CONCLUSIONS In the real-life setting we observe a response comparable to other second-line therapies and an acceptable safety profile in ACC patients receiving different ICI. The relevance of PD-L1 as a marker of response and the potentially more favourable outcome in nivolumab treated patients require confirmation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COGNITION (Comprehensive assessment of clinical features, genomics and further molecular markers to identify patients with early breast cancer for enrolment on marker driven trials) is a diagnostic registry trial that employs genomic and transcriptomic profiling to identify biomarkers in patients with early breast cancer with a high risk for relapse after standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) to guide genomics-driven targeted post-neoadjuvant therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS At National Center for Tumor Diseases Heidelberg patients were biopsied before starting NACT, and for patients with residual tumors after NACT additional biopsy material was collected. Whole-genome/exome and transcriptome sequencing were applied on tumor and corresponding blood samples. RESULTS In the pilot phase 255 patients were enrolled, among which 213 were assessable: thereof 48.8% were identified to be at a high risk for relapse following NACT; 86.4% of 81 patients discussed in the molecular tumor board were eligible for a targeted therapy within the interventional multiarm phase II trial COGNITION-GUIDE (Genomics-guided targeted post neoadjuvant therapy in patients with early breast cancer) starting enrolment in Q4/2022. An in-depth longitudinal analysis at baseline and in residual tumor tissue of 16 patients revealed some cases with clonal evolution but largely stable genetic alterations, suggesting restricted selective pressure of broad-acting cytotoxic neoadjuvant chemotherapies. CONCLUSIONS While most precision oncology initiatives focus on metastatic disease, the presented concept offers the opportunity to empower novel therapy options for patients with high-risk early breast cancer in the post-neoadjuvant setting within a biomarker-driven trial and provides the basis to test the value of precision oncology in a curative setting with the overarching goal to increase cure rates.

Abstract
Homologous repair deficiency (HRD) is present in many cancer types at variable prevalence and can indicate response to platinum-based chemotherapy and PARP inhibition. We developed a tumor classification system based on the loss of function of genes in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. To this end, somatic and germline alterations in BRCA1/2 and 140 other HRR genes were included and assessed for the impact on gene function. Additionally, information on the allelic hit type and on BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation was included. The HRDsum score including LOH, LST, and TAI was calculated for 8847 tumors of the TCGA cohort starting from genotyping data and for the subcohort of ovarian cancer also starting from WES data. Pan-cancer, deleterious BRCA1/2 alterations were detected in 4% of the tumors, while 18% of the tumors were HRD-positive (HRDsum ≥ 42). Across 33 cancer types, both BRCA1/2 alterations and HRD-positivity were most prevalent in ovarian cancer (20% and 69%). Pan-cancer, tumors with biallelic deleterious alterations in BRCA1/2 were separated strongly from tumors without relevant alterations (AUC = 0.89), while separation for tumors with monoallelic deleterious BRCA1/2 alterations was weak (AUC = 0.53). Tumors with biallelic deleterious alterations in other HHR genes were separated moderately from tumors without relevant alterations (AUC = 0.63), while separation for tumors with such monoallelic alterations was weaker (AUC = 0.57). In ovarian cancer, HRDsum scores calculated from WES data correlated strongly with HRDsum scores calculated from genotyping data (R = 0.87) and were slightly (4%) higher. We comprehensively analyzed HRD scores and their association with mutations in HRR genes in common cancer types. Our study identifies important parameters influencing HRD measurement and argues for an integration of HRDsum score with specific mutational profiles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor mutational burden (TMB) measurements aid in identifying patients who are likely to benefit from immunotherapy; however, there is empirical variability across panel assays and factors contributing to this variability have not been comprehensively investigated. Identifying sources of variability can help facilitate comparability across different panel assays, which may aid in broader adoption of panel assays and development of clinical applications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine tumor samples and 10 human-derived cell lines were processed and distributed to 16 laboratories; each used their own bioinformatics pipelines to calculate TMB and compare to whole exome results. Additionally, theoretical positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) of TMB were estimated. The impact of filtering pathogenic and germline variants on TMB estimates was assessed. Calibration curves specific to each panel assay were developed to facilitate translation of panel TMB values to whole exome sequencing (WES) TMB values. RESULTS Panel sizes >667 Kb are necessary to maintain adequate PPA and NPA for calling TMB high versus TMB low across the range of cut-offs used in practice. Failure to filter out pathogenic variants when estimating panel TMB resulted in overestimating TMB relative to WES for all assays. Filtering out potential germline variants at >0% population minor allele frequency resulted in the strongest correlation to WES TMB. Application of a calibration approach derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas data, tailored to each panel assay, reduced the spread of panel TMB values around the WES TMB as reflected in lower root mean squared error (RMSE) for 26/29 (90%) of the clinical samples. CONCLUSIONS Estimation of TMB varies across different panels, with panel size, gene content, and bioinformatics pipelines contributing to empirical variability. Statistical calibration can achieve more consistent results across panels and allows for comparison of TMB values across various panel assays. To promote reproducibility and comparability across assays, a software tool was developed and made publicly available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approvals of cancer therapeutics are primarily disease entity specific. Current molecular diagnostic approaches frequently identify actionable alterations in rare cancers or rare subtypes of common cancers for which the corresponding treatments are not approved and unavailable within clinical trials due to entity-related eligibility criteria. Access may be negotiated with health insurances. However, approval rates vary, and critical information required for a scientific evaluation of treatment-associated risks and benefits is not systematically collected. Thus clinical trials with optimized patient selection and comprehensive molecular characterization are essential for translating experimental treatments into standard care. PATIENTS AND METHODS Continuous ReAssessment with Flexible ExTension in Rare Malignancies (CRAFT) is an open-label phase II trial for adults with pretreated, locally advanced, or metastatic solid tumors. Based on the evaluation by a molecular tumor board, patients are assigned to combinations of six molecularly targeted agents and a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antagonist within seven study arms focusing on (i) BRAF V600 mutations; (ii) ERBB2 amplification and/or overexpression, activating ERBB2 mutations; (iii) ALK rearrangements, activating ALK mutations; (iv and v) activating PIK3CA and AKT mutations, other aberrations predicting increased PI3K-AKT pathway activity; (vi) aberrations predicting increased RAF-MEK-ERK pathway activity; (vii) high tumor mutational burden and other alterations predicting sensitivity to PD-L1 inhibition. The primary endpoint is the disease control rate (DCR) at week 16; secondary and exploratory endpoints include the progression-free survival ratio, overall survival, and patient-reported outcomes. Using Simon's optimal two-stage design, 14 patients are accrued for each study arm. If three or fewer patients achieve disease control, the study arm is stopped. Otherwise, 11 additional patients are accrued. If the DCR exceeds 7 of 25 patients, the null hypothesis is rejected for the respective study arm. CONCLUSIONS CRAFT was activated in October 2021 and will recruit at 10 centers in Germany. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS EudraCT: 2019-003192-18; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04551521.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) arising from the skin is a benign vascular tumor with marked inflammatory cell infiltration, which exhibits a high tendency to persist and frequently recurs after resection. So far, the underlying pathogenesis is largely elusive. OBJECTIVES To identify genetic alterations by next-generation-sequencing and/or droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in cutaneous EH. METHODS DNA and RNA from an EH lesion of an index patient were subjected to whole genome and RNA sequencing. Multiplex PCR-based panel sequencing of genomic DNA isolated from archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue of 18 cutaneous EH patients was performed. ddPCR was used to confirm mutations. RESULTS We identified somatic mutations in genes of the MAPK pathway (MAP2K1 and KRAS) in cutaneous EH biopsies. By ddPCR we could confirm the recurrent presence of activating, low-frequency mutations affecting MAP2K1. In total, 9 out of 18 analyzed patients showed activating MAPK pathway mutations, which were mutually exclusive. Comparative analysis of tissue areas enriched for lymphatic infiltrate or aberrant endothelial cells, respectively, revealed an association of these mutations with the presence of endothelial cells. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our data suggest that EH shows somatic mutations in genes of the MAPK pathway which might contribute to the formation of this benign tumor.

Abstract
Background The advanced lung cancer inflammation index [ALI: body mass index × serum albumin/neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)] reflects systemic host inflammation, and is easily reproducible. We hypothesized that ALI could assist guidance of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Patients and methods This retrospective study included 672 stage IV NSCLC patients treated with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors alone or in combination with chemotherapy in 25 centers in Greece and Germany, and a control cohort of 444 stage IV NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy without subsequent targeted or immunotherapy drugs. The association of clinical outcomes with biomarkers was analyzed with Cox regression models, including cross-validation by calculation of the Harrell's C-index. Results High ALI values (>18) were significantly associated with longer overall survival (OS) for patients receiving ICI monotherapy [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.402, P < 0.0001, n = 460], but not chemo-immunotherapy (HR = 0.624, P = 0.111, n = 212). Similar positive correlations for ALI were observed for objective response rate (36% versus 24%, P = 0.008) and time-on-treatment (HR = 0.52, P < 0.001), in case of ICI monotherapy only. In the control cohort of chemotherapy, the association between ALI and OS was weaker (HR = 0.694, P = 0.0002), and showed a significant interaction with the type of treatment (ICI monotherapy versus chemotherapy, P < 0.0001) upon combined analysis of the two cohorts. In multivariate analysis, ALI had a stronger predictive effect than NLR, PD-L1 tumor proportion score, lung immune prognostic index, and EPSILoN scores. Among patients with PD-L1 tumor proportion score ≥50% receiving first-line ICI monotherapy, a high ALI score >18 identified a subset with longer OS and time-on-treatment (median 35 and 16 months, respectively), similar to these under chemo-immunotherapy. Conclusions The ALI score is a powerful prognostic and predictive biomarker for patients with advanced NSCLC treated with PD-L1 inhibitors alone, but not in combination with chemotherapy. Its association with outcomes appears to be stronger than that of other widely used parameters. For PD-L1-high patients, an ALI score >18 could assist the selection of cases that do not need addition of chemotherapy. ALI is prognostic and predictive for patients with advanced NSCLC treated with immunotherapy monotherapy, but not chemo-immunotherapy. Its association with outcomes is stronger than that of other parameters (PD-L1 TPS, NLR, lung immune prognostic index, EPSILoN). For PD-L1-high patients, an ALI score >18 could assist the selection of cases that do not need addition of chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a rare skin cancer arising from the eccrine sweat glands. Due to the lack of effective therapies, metastasis is associated with a high mortality rate. OBJECTIVES To investigate the drivers of EPC progression. METHODS We carried out genomic and transcriptomic profiling of metastatic EPC (mEPC), validation of the observed alterations in an EPC patient-derived cell line, confirmation of relevant observations in a large patient cohort of 30 tumour tissues, and successful treatment of a patient with mEPC under the identified treatment regimens. RESULTS mEPC was characterized by a high tumour mutational burden (TMB) with an ultraviolet signature, widespread copy number alterations and gene expression changes that affected cancer-relevant cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation and proliferation, including a pathogenic TP53 (tumour protein 53) mutation, a copy number deletion in the CDKN2A (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A) region and a CTNND1/PAK1 [catenin delta 1/p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1] gene fusion. The overexpression of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), PAK1 and MAP2K1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1; also known as MEK1) genes translated into strong protein expression and respective pathway activation in the tumour tissue. Furthermore, a patient-derived cell line was sensitive to EGFR and MEK inhibition, confirming the functional relevance of the pathway activation. Immunohistochemistry analyses in a large patient cohort showed the relevance of the observed changes to the pathogenesis of EPC. Our results indicate that mEPC should respond to immune or kinase inhibitor therapy. Indeed, the advanced disease of our index patient was controlled by EGFR-directed therapy and immune checkpoint inhibition for more than 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Molecular profiling demonstrated high TMB and EGFR/MAPK pathway activation to be novel therapeutic targets in mEPC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The improved efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) mandates reappraisal of local therapy (LT) for brain metastases (BM) of oncogene-driven non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included all epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFR+, n = 108) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase-rearranged (ALK+, n = 33) TKI-naive NSCLC patients diagnosed with BM in the Thoraxklinik Heidelberg between 2009 and 2019. Eighty-seven patients (62%) received early LT, while 54 (38%) received delayed (n = 34; 24%) or no LT (n = 20; 14%). LT comprised stereotactic (SRT; n = 40; 34%) or whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT; n = 77; 66%), while neurosurgical resection was carried out in 19 cases. RESULTS Median overall survival (OS) was 49.1 months for ALK+ and 19.5 months for EGFR+ patients (P = 0.001), with similar median intracranial progression-free survival (icPFS) (15.7 versus 14.0 months, respectively; P = 0.80). Despite the larger and more symptomatic BM (P < 0.001) of patients undergoing early LT, these experienced longer icPFS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.52; P = 0.024], but not OS (HR 1.63; P = 0.12), regardless of the radiotherapy technique (SRT versus WBRT) and number of lesions. High-risk oncogene variants, i.e. non-del19 EGFR mutations and 'short' EML4-ALK fusions (mainly variant 3, E6:A20), were associated with earlier intracranial progression (HR 2.97; P = 0.001). The longer icPFS with early LT was also evident in separate analyses of the EGFR+ and ALK+ subsets. CONCLUSIONS Despite preferential use for cases with poor prognostic factors, early LT prolongs the icPFS, but not OS, in TKI-treated EGFR+/ALK+ NSCLC. Considering the lack of survival benefit, and the neurocognitive effects of WBRT, patients presenting with polytopic BM may benefit from delaying radiotherapy, or from radiosurgery of multiple or selected lesions. For SRT candidates, the improved tumor control with earlier radiotherapy should be weighed against the potential toxicity and the enhanced intracranial activity of newer TKI. High-risk EGFR/ALK variants are associated with earlier intracranial failure and identify patients who could benefit from more aggressive management.

Abstract
Background This study evaluated the consequences in Europe of the COVID-19 outbreak on pathology laboratories orientated toward the diagnosis of thoracic diseases. Materials and methods A survey was sent to 71 pathology laboratories from 21 European countries. The questionnaire requested information concerning the organization of biosafety, the clinical and molecular pathology, the biobanking, the workload, the associated research into COVID-19, and the organization of education and training during the COVID-19 crisis, from 15 March to 31 May 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. Results Questionnaires were returned from 53/71 (75%) laboratories from 18 European countries. The biosafety procedures were heterogeneous. The workload in clinical and molecular pathology decreased dramatically by 31% (range, 3%-55%) and 26% (range, 7%-62%), respectively. According to the professional category, between 28% and 41% of the staff members were not present in the laboratories but did teleworking. A total of 70% of the laboratories developed virtual meetings for the training of residents and junior pathologists. During the period of study, none of the staff members with confirmed COVID-19 became infected as a result of handling samples. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has had a strong impact on most of the European pathology laboratories included in this study. Urgent implementation of several changes to the organization of most of these laboratories, notably to better harmonize biosafety procedures, was noted at the onset of the pandemic and maintained in the event of a new wave of infection occurring in Europe. Biosafety measures used in the first wave of the COVID-19 crisis were heterogeneous in 53 European pathology laboratories. A dramatic decrease of the workload in pathology laboratories was noted. No case of healthcare workers contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 associated with samples handling was identified.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows sequencing of a high number of nucleotides in a short time frame at an affordable cost. While this technology has been widely implemented, there are no recommendations from scientific societies about its use in oncology practice. The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) is proposing three levels of recommendations for the use of NGS. Based on the current evidence, ESMO recommends routine use of NGS on tumour samples in advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), prostate cancers, ovarian cancers and cholangiocarcinoma. In these tumours, large multigene panels could be used if they add acceptable extra cost compared with small panels. In colon cancers, NGS could be an alternative to PCR. In addition, based on the KN158 trial and considering that patients with endometrial and small-cell lung cancers should have broad access to anti-programmed cell death 1 (anti-PD1) antibodies, it is recommended to test tumour mutational burden (TMB) in cervical cancers, well- and moderately-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours, salivary cancers, thyroid cancers and vulvar cancers, as TMB-high predicted response to pembrolizumab in these cancers. Outside the indications of multigene panels, and considering that the use of large panels of genes could lead to few clinically meaningful responders, ESMO acknowledges that a patient and a doctor could decide together to order a large panel of genes, pending no extra cost for the public health care system and if the patient is informed about the low likelihood of benefit. ESMO recommends that the use of off-label drugs matched to genomics is done only if an access programme and a procedure of decision has been developed at the national or regional level. Finally, ESMO recommends that clinical research centres develop multigene sequencing as a tool to screen patients eligible for clinical trials and to accelerate drug development, and prospectively capture the data that could further inform how to optimise the use of this technology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Panel-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly used for the diagnosis of EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and could improve risk assessment in combination with clinical parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS To this end, we retrospectively analyzed the outcome of 400 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-treated EGFR+ NSCLC patients with validation of results in an independent cohort (n = 130). RESULTS EGFR alterations other than exon 19 deletions (non-del19), TP53 co-mutations, and brain metastases at baseline showed independent associations of similar strengths with progression-free (PFS hazard ratios [HR] 2.1-2.3) and overall survival (OS HR 1.7-2.2), in combination defining patient subgroups with distinct outcome (EGFR+NSCLC risk Score, "ENS", p < 0.001). Co-mutations beyond TP53 were rarely detected by our multigene panel (<5%) and not associated with clinical endpoints. Smoking did not affect outcome independently, but was associated with non-del19 EGFR mutations (p < 0.05) and comorbidities (p < 0.001). Laboratory parameters, like the blood lymphocyte-to-neutrophil ratio and serum LDH, correlated with the metastatic pattern (p < 0.01), but had no independent prognostic value. Reduced ECOG performance status (PS) was associated with comorbidities (p < 0.05) and shorter OS (p < 0.05), but preserved TKI efficacy. Non-adenocarcinoma histology was also associated with shorter OS (p < 0.05), but rare (2-3 %). The ECOG PS and non-adenocarcinoma histology could not be validated in our independent cohort, and did not increase the range of prognostication alongside the ENS. CONCLUSIONS EGFR variant, TP53 status and brain metastases predict TKI efficacy and survival in EGFR+ NSCLC irrespective of other currently available parameters ("ENS"). Together, they constitute a practical and reproducible approach for risk stratification of newly diagnosed metastatic EGFR+ NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Technical advancement and availability of high-throughput analysis has advanced molecular subtyping of most cancers. Thus, new possibilities for precision oncology have emerged. AIM Therefore, we aimed to collect data regarding availability and use of next generation sequencing (NGS) for urothelial cancer within the uropathology working group of the German Society of Pathology. METHODS We collected data by questionnaires and additionally asked for sequencing results of bladder cancers in the participating institutions. RESULTS A total of 13 university-affiliated institutes of pathology took part in the survey. All university institutes offer NGS-based molecular panel diagnostics and provide panels covering between 15 and 170 genes. Altogether, only 20 bladder cancers were sequenced in routine diagnostics and for 10 cancers potential targeted treatment options were available. DISCUSSION So far, despite availability of NGS diagnostics at university institutes of pathology, only few bladder cancer samples have been sequenced. Based on current data from the molecular subtyping of bladder cancers, we recommend a step-by-step protocol with basic immunohistochemistry analysis and subsequent subtype-dependent analyses, e.g., alterations of the fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) or comprehensive gene panel analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Panel sequencing based estimates of tumor mutational burden (psTMB) are increasingly replacing whole exome sequencing (WES) tumor mutational burden as predictive biomarker of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). DESIGN A mathematical law describing psTMB variability was derived using a random mutation model and complemented by the contributions of non-randomly mutated real-world cancer genomes and intratumoral heterogeneity through simulations in publicly available datasets. RESULTS The coefficient of variation (CV) of psTMB decreased inversely proportional with the square root of the panel size and the square root of the TMB level. In silico simulations of all major commercially available panels in the TCGA pan-cancer cohort confirmed the validity of this mathematical law and demonstrated that the CV was 35% for TMB = 10 muts/Mbp for the largest panels of size 1.1-1.4 Mbp. Accordingly, misclassification rates (gold standard: WES) to separate 'TMBhigh' from 'TMBlow' using a cut-point of 199 mutations were 10%-12% in TCGA-LUAD and 17%-19% in TCGA-LUSC. A novel three-tier psTMB classification scheme which accounts for the likelihood of misclassification is proposed. Simulations in two WES datasets of immunotherapy treated patients revealed that small gene panels were poor predictors of ICB response. Moreover, we noted substantial intratumoral variance of psTMB scores in the TRACERx 100 cohort and identified indel burden as independent marker complementing missense mutation burden. CONCLUSIONS A universal mathematical law describes accuracy limitations inherent to psTMB, which result in substantial misclassification rates. This scenario can be controlled by two measures: (i) a panel design that is based on the mathematical law described in this article: halving the CV requires a fourfold increase in panel size, (ii) a novel three-tier TMB classification scheme. Moreover, inclusion of indel burden can complement TMB reports. This work has substantial implications for panel design, TMB testing, clinical trials and patient management.

Abstract
Precision oncology is obtaining a central role in the therapy of malignant diseases. The indication for targeted therapy is based on the identification of molecular targets for which next-generation sequencing (NGS) is commonly used nowadays. All approved predictive biomarkers and molecular targets, including gene fusions and copy number alterations, can be identified depending on panel design and method applied. Some clinical scenarios, however, may require more holistic genomic approaches, such as whole-genome/whole-exome and transcriptome analysis, which must be embedded in a clinical trial. Here, key aspects and applications of each method are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Background Treatment with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with agents such as anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), and/or anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) can result in impressive response rates and durable disease remission but only in a subset of patients with cancer. Expression of PD-L1 has demonstrated utility in selecting patients for response to ICB and has proven to be an important biomarker for patient selection. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is emerging as a potential biomarker. However, refinement of interpretation and contextualization is required. Materials and methods In this review, we outline the evolution of TMB as a biomarker in oncology, delineate how TMB can be applied in the clinic, discuss current limitations as a diagnostic test, and highlight mechanistic insights unveiled by the study of TMB. We review available data to date studying TMB as a biomarker for response to ICB by tumor type, focusing on studies proposing a threshold for TMB as a predictive biomarker for ICB activity. Results High TMB consistently selects for benefit with ICB therapy. In lung, bladder and head and neck cancers, the current predictive TMB thresholds proposed approximate 200 non-synonymous somatic mutations by whole exome sequencing (WES). PD-L1 expression influences response to ICB in high TMB tumors with single agent PD-(L)1 antibodies; however, response may not be dependent on PD-L1 expression in the setting of anti-CTLA4 or anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 combination therapy. Disease-specific TMB thresholds for effective prediction of response in various other malignancies are not well established. Conclusions TMB, in concert with PD-L1 expression, has been demonstrated to be a useful biomarker for ICB selection across some cancer types; however, further prospective validation studies are required. TMB determination by selected targeted panels has been correlated with WES. Calibration and harmonization will be required for optimal utility and alignment across all platforms currently used internationally. Key challenges will need to be addressed before broader use in different tumor types.
