Lost Command es una película bélica estadounidense dirigida por Mark Robson, protagonizada por Anthony Quinn, Alain Delon, George Segal, Michèle Morgan y Claudia Cardinale. La trama se desarrolla durante la Guerra de Independencia de Argelia (1954-1962), un conflicto que sumió a Francia en una profunda crisis política y social. Tras la derrota francesa en Indochina, el ejército, liderado por personajes como el coronel Raspeguy (Quinn), busca reafirmar su autoridad en Argelia. Sin embargo, la brutal represión militar y las divisiones internas en Francia —entre quienes exigían mano dura y quienes rechazaban la violencia— agudizaron el conflicto. La película explora estos dilemas morales, la lealtad de las tropas y el impacto de la guerra en ambos bandos. Te lo cuentan Juan Pastrana y Esaú Rodríguez.

El demonio está entre nosotros... o, como poco, sus acólitos. Al menos así es en el mundo que pintan las tres películas de las que hablamos en este podcast. La afable pareja de vejetes que vive en el piso de al lado o una reunión social de gente educada y elegante pueden ser el disfraz bajo el que se ocultan miembros de una secta satánica. «La séptima víctima» (The Seventh Victim, Mark Robson, 1943), «La novia del diablo» (The Devil Rides Out, Terence Fisher, 1968) y «La semilla del diablo» (Rosemary's Baby, Roman Polanski, 1968) coinciden en mostrar una trama de conspiraciones para extender por el mundo la sombra del Maligno que se destapa bajo una apariencia de normalidad social. De paso, cada una de ellas constituye una lección cinematográfica, ya sea en el sugerir sin mostrar absolutamente nada («La séptima víctima»), en el fascinar aun mostrándolo todo («La novia del diablo») o en el hacernos reconstruir una turbia historia que corre paralela e invisible a la de la protagonista («La semilla del diablo»). Participan en este humilde aquelarre Miguel Muñoz Garnica, Érica Couto y José Luis Forte.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de cine clásico, de FITUR y de la obra Los gigantes de la montaña. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: "Los Gigantes de la Montaña" Esta semana se ha estrenado en el teatro Fernán Gómez-Centro Cultural de la Villa (Plaza de Colón, n.º 4) "Los Gigantes de la Montaña". Se trata de la última obra que escribió el dramaturgo italiano (Premio Nobel de Literatura) Luigi Pirandello y que fue estrenada por primera vez en en 1937. Podemos disfrutar de la versión que nos trae la compañía AlmaViva Teatro en en Sala Jardiel Poncela hasta el 23 de febrero, a las 20:30 de martes a sábados y los domingos a las 19:30. Está considerado uno de los textos más complejos de Pirandello. y una de sus piezas clave. Nos brinda una serie de alegorías que exploran la relación entre el arte, la sociedad y la imaginación. Está dividida en tres actos, pero el tercero quedó inconcluso. Cuenta la historia de una compañía de teatro que llega a la misteriosa posada conocida como La Scalogna (que significa "mala suerte") de camino a una montaña habitada por gigantes, donde los actores están convocados para interpretar una de sus obras en la celebración de una boda. Entrevistamos al director de AlmaViva Teatro y de la obra, Cesar Barló. Japón en FITUR Entrevistamos a Hajime Kishi, manager en España de la Organización Oficial de Turismo de Japón (JNTO) para conocer la propuesta y los detalles de la participación nipona en la 45ª edición de la Feria Internacional de Turismo (FITUR) que organiza y acoge IFEMA. Sección de cine clásico Es sesión continua Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre El premio (The Prize). Película estadounidense de 1963 dirigida por Mark Robson, con Paul Newman, Elke Sommer y Edward G. Robinson en los papeles principales y basada en el best seller "The Prize", de Irving Wallace. Fue galardonada con el premio Globo de Oro de 1964 a la actriz Elke Sommer como nueva estrella del año. Andrew Craig (Paul Newman) llega a Estocolmo para recibir el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Es un hombre que parece más interesado en las mujeres y el alcohol que en escribir. Es recibido por su hermosa acompañante asignada, Inger Lisa Andersson (Elke Sommer), y se aloja en el Grand Hôtel, residencia oficial de los laureados. Allí conoce a otro premiado, el Dr. Max Stratman (Edward G. Robinson), físico y refugiado político que está acompañado por su sobrina Emily (Diane Baker). El encuentro se desarrolla con cordialidad y quedan de acuerdo en reunirse al día siguiente.
The Leopard Man (1943), The Seventh Victim (1943), Isle of the Dead (1945) Back in episode 23, we covered producer Val Lewton and three of his films. While Lewton only produced about a dozen films—and only a handful of them horror—his work made a huge impact on the genre. That's why we've decided to discuss three more of his films, hoping to inspire other fans to seek out not only the ones we've covered but his other titles as well. With the help of a talented group of craftsmen—including directors Jacques Tourneur and Mark Robson, screenwriter Ardel Wray, and a skilled cast of actors he worked with repeatedly—Lewton created films that stood apart. They weren't just different from what he was hired to produce; they defied the expectations of most horror fans at the time. His films had style, compelling stories, and uniquely well-developed characters. They're a testament to how effective something as simple as a walk down the street can be when crafted by the right people. Films mentioned in this episode: The Body Snatcher (1945), Cat People (1942), The Curse the Cat People (1944), Curse of the Demon (1957), The Day After (1983), Isle of the Dead (1945), I Walked with a Zombie (1943), The Leopard Man (1943), Old Dark House (1932), The Seventh Victim (1943)

Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian and Dr. Mark Robson discuss the new guideline from ASCO and SSO on germline testing in patients with breast cancer. They discuss the framework for which patients should be offered BRCA1/2 testing, and what additional moderate- and high-penetrance genes may be considered for inclusion in germline testing. They highlight key aspects of personal and family history, recommendations surrounding counseling for genetic testing, and the impact for patients and their families. They close the conversation with a discussion of gaps in the research. Read the full guideline, Germline Testing in Patients with Breast Cancer: ASCO-SSO Guideline TRANSCRIPT This guideline, clinical tools, and resources are available at http://www.asco.org/breast-cancer-guidelines. Read the full text of the guideline and review authors' disclosures of potential conflicts of interest disclosures in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.23.02225 Brittany Harvey: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines Podcast, one of ASCO's podcasts, delivering timely information to keep you up to date on the latest changes, challenges, and advances in oncology. You can find all the shows, including this one, at asco.org/podcasts. My name is Brittany Harvey, and today I'm interviewing Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian from the University of Texas MD Anderson and Dr. Mark Robson from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, co-chairs on “Germline Testing in Patients with Breast Cancer: American Society of Clinical Oncology – Society of Surgical Oncology Guideline.” Thank you for being here, Dr. Bedrosian and Dr. Robson. Dr. Mark Robson: My pleasure. Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian: Thank you, Brittany. Brittany Harvey: Then, before we discuss this guideline, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed for each guideline. The disclosures of potential conflicts of interest for the guideline panel, including Dr. Bedrosian and Dr. Robson, who have joined us here today, are available online with the publication of the guideline in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, which is linked in the show notes. So then, to jump into the content of this particular guideline, Dr. Bedrosian, could you give us a general overview of both the scope and the purpose of this guideline? Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian: Yeah, sure. So, in the last decade or so, the whole area of clinical cancer genetics has become incredibly complicated, driven, I think, predominantly by the development of extended gene testing. And in the midst of this complexity, our goal here was to try to give providers a framework through which they can think about the application of germline testing within their patient population. And really, this framework was to help them think through how testing can best be applied to patients that were both newly diagnosed with breast cancer or had a history of breast cancer, and also to help them think through the scope of that testing as well, be it BRCA testing or testing in a more extended fashion that may help inform longer-term decisions such as risk management. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. We appreciate your efforts to provide recommendations in this framework in this complicated space. So then, I'd like to review the key recommendations of this guideline developed by the expert panel. So first, Dr. Robson, who should be offered BRCA1/2 testing? Dr. Mark Robson: Thank you. I think this is perhaps one of the most important things that comes out of the guideline is that we, and the group, are now recommending that anyone who is either newly diagnosed with breast cancer at or before the age of 65, or if they're over 65 and have suggestive personal or family history criteria, or alternatively, if they are eligible for PARP inhibitor therapy, that they all be offered BRCA1 or BRCA2 testing. And the same would hold for women who had a personal history of breast cancer but were not currently under active treatment if their diagnosis had been made at or before 65 or older than that, with certain criteria then they should be offered testing. This is a much simpler way to look at things than the rather complicated existing criteria, which are perhaps a bit both difficult to remember and unfortunately inadequately sensitive in a setting where there is such critical, both therapeutic and risk management implications to the identification of a BRCA mutation. Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian: Yeah, I would just also add there's one other, albeit a much smaller group of women for whom BRCA testing could be considered, and those are women who develop a second primary breast cancer. That's another group that I think we can think about offering BRCA1/2 testing to. Brittany Harvey: Understood. I appreciate you both reviewing those recommendations for BRCA1/2 testing. So, Dr. Bedrosian, which additional genes does the panel recommend including in germline testing? Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian: Yeah. So, in this area, outside of BRCA genes, Brittany, I think the panel didn't make any definitive recommendations or any specific genes that should be tested for. I think the panel felt that the decision to test for additional high penetrance genes and also for some moderate penetrance genes should be guided by the specifics of the individual case, whether the identification of germline mutations makes sense in the context of the patient's personal history and family history. So, in other words, is there a worrisome pattern in the family that might warrant more in-depth testing beyond BRCA, and also considerations around the implications of those test results. Would it change the management for the patient themselves? Either in the treatment of the index malignancy, which, in the case of most of these non-BRCA genes, there really is not changes to the management of the breast cancer that would be offered based on the finding of non-BRCA germline mutations. But potentially, the finding of a non-BRCA germline mutation in a breast cancer patient might help better understand risks of second malignancies that would then be addressed. And certainly for families as well of the patients, identifying those that are carriers could offer opportunities for risk assessment, risk mitigation. Dr. Mark Robson: I totally agree with Dr. Bedrosian. One thing I think it's important to understand is that most commercial testing done in the United States now does involve panels of genes. And the group certainly did not intend to suggest that that practice not continue. So, I think if somebody has a history of breast cancer, I think the panel felt that it would at least be reasonable to test for breast cancer susceptibility genes. However, this issue of do you test for all of the high penetrance genes when the family history doesn't suggest it, was certainly something we left open and we did not want to imply that it was obligatory to test for a large number or large panel of genes that weren't related to the patient's personal and family history. So, in other words, didn't want to imply that it was obligatory to do an extremely large panel just as a target of opportunity, if you will. Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian: I think really a key part of these guidelines was that we wanted to afford the oncologist flexibility. It's very difficult beyond BRCA to be prescriptive. There are so many considerations about testing, and those considerations will be applied differently in every patient context. So, we really wanted to let providers know that while they have to think about these other genes, and oftentimes there'll be good reason to do these other genes as part of the overall germline testing, again, that it's not obligatory to do so. It's not a fixed set that needs to be tested for. And really, the understanding of the patient's personal history, family history, therapeutic goals, and risk assessment goals should be used to determine kind of the ultimate scope of the testing. Brittany Harvey: It sounds like these decisions will be individualized, based on patient characteristics and with working between both patients and their clinicians. So that leads into my next question. But, Dr. Robson, how should patients with breast cancer considering genetic testing be counseled? Dr. Mark Robson: With this recognition and emphasis on the therapeutic implications for patients with breast cancer, both surgical and potentially systemic using PARP inhibitors, the approach has gradually moved away from the concept of testing for personal utility, in other words, just wanting to know, and more towards the idea of this being a clinically useful test that's to some extent necessary for the appropriate management of a fair number of patients. And so the counseling is usually- the pre-test counseling is perhaps more educational than we have used in the past, rather than this extensive discussion of whether or not somebody wants to know. Obviously, it's always the patient's ultimate decision whether or not to be tested, and we have to give them the same elements of education that we would have given back in the day. But it can be delivered in a more didactic type of context rather than necessarily the back and forth that takes place with formal genetic counseling. Now, for patients who have complicated or extensive family histories or who have histories that may suggest predispositions other than those for breast cancer, the type of thing that Dr. Bedrosian was talking about earlier, they could certainly benefit, again, from a more formal evaluation by a provider experienced in cancer genetics to help select what the scope of the testing should be, for instance, and also to help interpret those results. And certainly anybody who had a pathogenic variant or a likely pathogenic variant identified should be considered for meeting with somebody who's experienced in clinical cancer genetics both to interpret and also to help with family expansion when appropriate. Brittany Harvey: Excellent. Thank you for reviewing those recommendations from the expert panel. So, Dr. Robson just touched on this a little bit, but Dr. Bedrosian, how will these guideline recommendations affect patients with breast cancer and their families? Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian: Yeah, so from a patient perspective, I think there are two ways that these recommendations can impact care. For those women that are identified as germline carriers, specifically with BRCA, it will open the door for receipt of PARP inhibitors, which are currently recommended for patients that are high-risk primary cancer or those with metastatic disease. The other ways that patients will be affected by a germline testing is really in this idea of second cancer risks. Some of these germline mutations are well established to carry risks of either second primary breast cancer or non-breast malignancies. And understanding those risks will allow the patients and their providers to create management strategies, be they surgical or with more intensified screening that will help them mitigate the effects of that germline-driven risk. And I think similarly for the families of patients, the ones the proband has identified, I think that family now has a very real opportunity to better understand their cancer risks and again be able to more effectively manage those risks through either surgical or non-surgical means. And it would really underscore the family component of this. I think oftentimes oncologists are very much focused on the patient and admittedly so that is the person that has the most immediate needs. But I think there's a real opportunity to extend efforts at prevention and early detection by identifying the at-risk family members and allowing them the opportunity to access care that mitigates their cancer risks and hopefully will improve survival outcomes in so doing. So, I think the opportunities for families here to understand risks of germline testing is a really important one to underscore from these recommendations. Dr. Mark Robson: Just to expand a little bit on what Dr. Bedrosian was saying, I think this is a very important place for collaboration between the oncology community and the clinical cancer genetics providers because the oncologist is pretty occupied taking care of all of their cancer patients, and the approach to people who are unaffected is a little bit different. People who are unaffected perhaps do need a little bit more pretest counseling to understand the pros and cons of choosing to be tested for the familial mutation. And certainly that idea of family expansion is something that's well known to clinical cancer genetics providers and that's really very much something that they can help the primary oncologists do. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely, these recommendations have impacts beyond just the individual patient, but also for their families as well. So then, finally, Dr. Robson, what are the outstanding questions regarding germline testing in breast cancer? Dr. Mark Robson: Oh, there are so many. Where should I start? I think over the years we've become, as a community, pretty comfortable managing individuals who have BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. There are certainly some questions left, but there's a lot of familiarity with that. I think the challenges expand into these what we call moderate penetrance genes and how to guide people with alterations in those genes. Because except for PALB2, which is relatively uncommon, many of the other genes don't really have the same implications for therapy because it's not clear that they confer PARP sensitivity. It's not at all clear that they have high risks of contralateral breast cancer. And even in the unaffected setting, we know that there's a wide distribution of risk for people who carry these alterations. And some individuals with these alterations probably are not at increased risk at all because they have protective factors. So the management of breast cancer susceptibility genes beyond BRCA1 and BRCA2 is still very much in evolution. They can't be handled exactly the same way as a woman with a BRCA carrier. And then, of course, this issue of how much should we test and what do we do with some of the alterations that we find, if you will, out of context, what are the implications for that and what's the most appropriate management? Those still remain very much open questions. So I think there's still plenty of work to do. Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian: Yeah, I agree. I think one of the enormous challenges has been the disconnect between how rapidly our technology has advanced and can sequence alterations, and our ability to really understand the biologic and clinical implications, which really is a time-dependent issue. We need to see over time how patients do for us to understand the implications of some of these germline findings. So that disconnect is a very difficult one to bridge, particularly, I think, for surgical oncologists because they are oftentimes referred patients who don't have a cancer history, necessarily, or have a distant history, and really the concern is “I'm at risk and I would like to reduce my risk.” And it becomes very difficult to counsel patients as to the benefits of risk reduction when we don't have such a great handle on the degree to which they are actually at risk. So that really is a significant gap, I think, for surgeons in particular to have to contend with. Brittany Harvey: Definitely. We'll look forward to answering some of those questions as we learn more and get more data to address those gaps. So I want to thank you both so much for your work to develop this framework for genetic testing in breast cancer, and thank you so much for your time today, Dr. Robson and Dr. Bedrosian.

For our Halloween 2023 episode, we take you on a tour of Peyton Place—the 1956 novel by Grace Metalious, 1957 Fox movie starring Lana Turner, and the mid-late-60s TV series starring Dorothy Malone and Mia Farrow (among many others) that reinvented television. We discuss the strange journey of Metalious's scabrous and scathing vision from satire to soap opera, in the course of which the story of shack-dweller Selena Cross's violation by her stepfather becomes the story of lower-middle-class Betty Anderson's resentful ambition, while ostensible protagonist Allison MacKenzie goes from being a bit of a jerk to being a nightmare of willfulness. But which versions of the story influenced David Lynch the most? We give our surmises. Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s: Peyton Place by Grace Metalious 0h 42 m 52s: PEYTON PLACE (1957) [dir.

For our RKO 1943 episode, we look at two films that exemplify the nascent RKO noir style: Richard Wallace's The Fallen Sparrow, starring John Garfield as a traumatized Spanish Civil War veteran hunted by Nazis and the Val Lewton production The Seventh Victim, starring Kim Hunter as a sheltered young woman who wants to find out about the sorrows of the world and does not want to be told to drink her milk. Featuring cinematography by Nicholas Musuraca and scores by Roy Webb, these films embrace opacity and ooze paranoia while presenting portraits of sophisticated New York milieus harbouring evil in their midst. And, keeping to the noir theme, in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto we discuss a 30th anniversary screening of Brian De Palma's Carlito's Way, starring Al Pacino as a gangster who carries his doom around inside him.

We continue last week's theme of Hollywood's attitude toward the Soviet Union as our Dorothy McGuire Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode takes us beyond not only the Popular Front era but just a shade beyond the heyday of McCarthyism. We also find that we spoke too soon about McGuire entering her mom-roles era, as in this episode's movies she embodies an unmarried professional woman with a liberal attitude toward sex and a shady political past in Trial (1955, directed by Mark Robson, based on the novel by Don Mankiewicz), as well as a Quaker minister (and wife and mother) whose family's pacifist views are put to the test in William Wyler's Friendly Persuasion (1956). McGuire brings her particular mixture of the soothing and the astringent to not very committed Communism and very committed pacifism, proving that her range encompasses both the ultra-worldly and the otherworldly.

Our two Dorothy McGuire movies for this week are wildly different in tone: Samuel Goldwyn's I Want You (1951, directed by Mark Robson), about a family's reaction to the Korean War draft, and, for MGM, the Jamesian melodrama Invitation (1952, directed by Gottfried Reinhardt). Dave makes the case for I Want You as a complex leftist look at early Cold War America, and then we unpack the Jamesian tropes of Invitation, with its complicated flashback structure.

Jason Henderson of Castle of Horror podcast and Castle Bridge Media publishing joins Jim Towns for an in-depth discussion on RKO's The Seventh Victim, from 1943.Produced by Val Lewton and directed by first timer Mark Robson, the film stars a young Kim Hunter (Zira in Planet of the Apes), Lewton regular Tom Conway, Jean Brooks (The Leopard Man/The Invisible Man Returns) and Hugh Beaumont ("Leave it to Beaver") in a dark tale of devil worship and mental derangement, evocatively photographed in stark black and white-a Lewton trademark.Content Warning: this episode contains discussions on suicide and mental illness.
'None shall sleep'. Jon Christos watched the Italia 90 World Cup with his Dad and says that the live performance of 'Nessun Dorma' by Pavarotti at the tournament was the only time he ever saw his Dad cry. Beatrice Venezia conducted 'Nessun Dorma' at the 'Puccini day' she created in Lucca in 2018. She also conducted Andrea Bocelli's performance of the aria at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. Pavarotti's daughter Cristina talks about the impact this aria had on her father's life and how his 1990 performance of 'Nessun Dorma' inspired many people to become interested in opera. Sir Bobby Robson's son Mark Robson was at Italia 90 and talks about the pride he felt seeing his Dad lining up with the England team for the semi-final against West Germany. It was also sung at Sir Bobby's memorial service in Durham Cathedral. Broadcaster and author Alexandra Wilson explains that the opera Turandot is the story of Prince Calaf who falls in love with the titular Princess. In 'Nessun Dorma' Calaf expresses his determination to win her hand, ending with that extraordinary refrain "Vincerò!" or "I will win". Paul Potts won 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2007 performing 'Nessun Dorma' and recalls singing it to over a million people at the Brandenburg Gate on New Year's Eve in 2010. When Italy locked down in March 2020, hairdresser Piero d'Angelico played 'Nessun Dorma' from a five-story window above Cambridge railway station to show solidarity with his home country and the Italian community in his adopted city.

In this episode of SurgOnc Today®, Doreen Agnese, MD, from The Ohio State University Medical Center is joined by Toan Nguyen, MD, from Lakeland Regional Health and Mark Robson, MD, from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Realizing that genetic testing is being performed more frequently and by many different providers for patients both with and without breast cancer, they discuss the management of non-BRCA breast cancer susceptibility genes.
In this short episode, Dan and Tim talk about Mark Robson's The Harder They Fall (1956), know by its alternate title, Bogart's Last Movie. But, as they both say, there's no reason to give this one a pity recommendation: it's solid stuff, a terrific look at a man who leaves his shell of cynicism to do the right thing, as we've seen in that other, lesser-known Bogart film.

Cancer research discussed in this podcast is ongoing, so data described here may change as research progresses. Greg Guthrie: Hi, everyone. I'm Greg Guthrie, and I'm a member of the Cancer.Net content team, and I'll be your host for today's Cancer.Net podcast. Cancer.Net is the patient information website of ASCO, the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Today, we're going to be talking about the ASCO provisional clinical opinion, “Somatic Genomic Testing in Patients With Metastatic or Advanced Cancer.” Our guests today are the co-chairs of the team that wrote these recommendations. Dr. Funda Meric-Bernstam from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Meric-Bernstam. Dr. Meric-Bernstam: Thank you for having us. Greg Guthrie: And our second guest today is Dr. Mark Robson from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Dr. Robson, thank you for joining us today, too. Dr. Robson: Thank you for having me. Greg Guthrie: So before we begin, I should mention that Dr. Meric-Bernstam does not have any relationships to disclose related to this podcast. Dr. Robson has led clinical trials in PARP inhibitors but has not received any personal compensation for this research. Full disclosures for this podcast can be found on Cancer.Net. So, Dr. Robson, let's begin by discussing what a provisional clinical opinion is and why they are important. Dr. Robson: So there are times when there are sea changes or incredibly important changes taking place in oncology practice. And sometimes these are clinical trial data, and sometimes they are more global. And this is a situation where it's one of those global challenges. And what ASCO does in situations like this is pull together a group of experts to provide guidance for the membership through a process of discussion and informal consensus rather than necessarily direct evaluation of clinical studies. And this is important because it allows the membership to benefit from these expert opinions. Greg Guthrie: Now, Dr. Meric-Bernstam, this provisional clinical opinion discusses somatic genomic testing in metastatic or advanced cancer. What is somatic genetic testing, and how is it used in cancer treatment? Dr. Meric-Bernstam: Oh, thank you. This is a really exciting time in the last decade. We have a lot more tools to understand cancer biology. And cancer is a genomically-driven phenomena, where there's alterations in the DNA, in the tumor, that confers the cancer cells a competitive growth and survival advantage. And only 10 years ago, we had the capability of doing this 1 gene at a time, to sequence a gene to see what is different, but now we have technologies where we can look at several hundred genes at a time. We are referring to these as multigene panels. And we're talking about genomic testing or somatic genomic testing. These are tests that look at several hundred genes, either looking at the tumor sequence alone or looking at the tumor sequence and comparing it to the normal sequence so we can see what has differed in the tumor that may give it a competitive advantage. We're doing this to be able to identify if there are genes that are altered that are therapeutically actionable. What we mean by that is, is there an alteration that we think confers the cancer cell an advantage for which we have a drug that either directly or indirectly we can use to help inhibit the cancer cell growth or preferably cause the cancer cell death? Greg Guthrie: Great. And so how is somatic testing different from germline testing? Dr. Robson: So somatic testing is testing the DNA or the nucleic acids, if you will, in the tumor itself, and germline testing is testing the DNA in normal tissue. And so the DNA in the normal tissue is what people are born with, and of course, most of the DNA in the tumor is the same as what people were born with. But there are specific changes that develop as the cancer arises, and it's those specific changes that are called somatic alterations. Dr. Meric-Bernstam: This is actually a really interesting point though because some tests report out germline alterations as well because only the tumor is sequenced, while some tests report the tumor, only subtracting what was in the germline. Thus, unless the germline result is specifically reported, a patient that has a known germline alteration may be surprised to see that it's not in the tumor report. And on the flip side, a tumor-only test may find a germline alteration, and thus it's important that physicians and patients are aware of that. That needs to be further pursued with the genetic testing. Greg Guthrie: Wow, just a wealth of information coming from this testing now. Sometimes I hear the term next-generation sequencing mentioned in regard to cancer. Does this provisional clinical opinion also touch on that? Dr. Meric-Bernstam: Yes. When we are referring to genomic testing panels or multigene panels, we are talking about the next-generation sequencing technology that has the ability now to use a small amount of tumor to be able to report out the sequence of several hundred genes. We have, of course, broader panels also coming, such as whole exome sequencing, whole genomic sequencing. Although, majority of our provisional clinical opinion is talking about the use of these in several hundred gene panels. Greg Guthrie: Amazing. Alright. Dr. Meric-Bernstam, so what should people with cancer and their loved ones know about this opinion? Dr. Meric-Bernstam: This has been a really complicated time because the introduction of next-generation sequencing made genomic testing available, but to be fair, not widely available initially. Only more recently is it more broadly available, and there's been some confusion about which patients with which diseases should get or can get genomic testing or would benefit from genomic testing. So we wanted to frame this by first highlighting that if a patient has a metastatic or advanced cellular tumor type and there is a genomic biomarker that is linked to a therapy approved for a regulatory agency, or they have a tumor type where there's a drug that's approved but there's a known genomic resistance marker, these are scenarios where we feel patients should get genomic testing. Now, the more complicated area, a little more controversial, has been scenarios where the patient has a disease that is not one of those diseases that has a disease-specific approval for a drug. And in that scenario, we believe there's still value in genomic testing for several reasons. There's been several new drug approvals for what we call tumor-agnostic drugs. That means if you have an alteration that gives you sensitivity to immunotherapy because you have what we call microsatellite instability, and some next-generation sequencing panels can report that out, then, regardless of your tumor type, you may be able to get offered immunotherapy. If you have multiple mutations in your tumor, something we call the increased tumor mutation burden, that is now linked to immunotherapy approval. So irrespective of tumor type, if a patient is eligible for immunotherapy, they benefit from getting genomic testing. And then on top of that, we now are seeing more and more that patients may have a genomic alteration that we think is a compelling target. But they may have it-- they may have it in a disease where that drug was not approved. And we're now starting to see that in many clinical trials. We're seeing activity by targeting those alterations. So there may be additional opportunities, especially for clinical trial enrollment, by identifying these potentially actionable alterations in other diseases. So taking this together, we believe multigene testing will provide both additional approved indications and clinical trial indications. And in addition, fusion testing can identify TRK fusions, a fusion type that's found commonly in some uncommon cancers and uncommonly in some common cancers. But when it's found, it is a very compelling target. So again, because patients would be eligible for TRK inhibitors, irrespective of their tumor type, that's another scenario where next-generation sequencing may be beneficial for patients with advanced and metastatic disease, irrespective of tumor type. Greg Guthrie: Wow, that's just an amazing overview right there. And one question that occurs to me is, is all of this genetic testing done from a biopsy sample? Or are there other ways a patient may experience this testing? Dr. Meric-Bernstam: The traditional tumor-based testing is usually done either from a surgical sample or a biopsy sample. And again, it could be tumor-only testing or tumor plus a normal. Usually, normal would be something like blood as a comparator. However, there are times where a patient doesn't have a tumor accessible for a biopsy. In that scenario, there is now the opportunity to look at circulating free DNA to do panel testing on circulating free DNA for some of the more common actionable alterations. So there's a lot of momentum in using that approach, and this is what we often refer to as a liquid biopsy. And the liquid biopsy strategy is also very interesting because it's another way to pick up what changes of the tumor with treatment as well. So there's a lot of research going into using liquid biopsies when the patient also progresses on targeted therapy to see what has changed and how we need to change our therapy to address the tumor's evolution. Greg Guthrie: Wow. Thanks for that, Dr. Meric-Bernstam. Dr. Robson, what are the emerging ways that genetic testing may be used to help people with cancer? Dr. Robson: I think there are many, many ways. I was reflecting on this question, and I think it's important to kind of separate, as we did earlier, what we mean by genetic testing, again, because I think there's a lot of confusion. And there's certainly a lot of work going on in terms of testing of inherited DNA, so germline testing, to identify risks for cancer and potentially therapeutic targets. And that's not something that was discussed in this particular opinion, but it is an important way that genetics is being used to help people. On the side of the folks who already have cancer, the application of genetic technologies, as Dr. Meric-Bernstam said earlier, is identifying more and more targets. In other words, more and more alterations that are driving the cancers and for which we can test new drugs and hopefully achieve successes in a much more focused and less toxic way. And that work is going on at an exponential pace, and indeed, perhaps most of the new drugs that are entering the development pathway right now are indeed targeted therapies, not conventional broad-spectrum chemotherapies. The genetic technologies are also being used as, again, Dr. Meric-Bernstam said, to look at DNA from the tumors that are circulating in the bloodstream. And one way is the liquid biopsy, which is for characterization. But another way that's coming online is just simply to look for the presence or absence of circulating DNA in people who are, for instance, post-op and don't have any evidence of disease to see whether or not they might, in fact, have some cancer that hasn't been detected by imaging. And then the hope is that we could then intervene earlier in that setting and perhaps prevent those circulating DNA from representing true metastasis, detectable metastasis. And again, a lot of work going on there. And there's a diagnostic and prognostic component to what's happening as well. There are, unfortunately, a number of people who present with metastatic cancer, and it's not obvious at all where that started. And work is being done now to use testing of the tumor DNA to help categorize the tumors, to direct the correct therapies, instead of just doing something generic and empiric. And there are many, many other ways that genetic technologies are being applied. It's really 1 of the 2 big frontiers in cancer therapy right now. The other one, of course, being immunotherapy. But it is an exciting time, and I think it's just going to continue to grow as the technologies become more and more innovative. Greg Guthrie: That's really exciting. And thank you for sharing all of that perspective. I really wonder if helping with this somatic testing can help increase enrollment in clinical trials, too, to advance progress in other rare cancers? Dr. Robson: I think it did, not necessarily just in rare cancers. I mean, people are— Greg Guthrie: Agreed. Dr. Robson: —certainly doing testing in common diseases and identifying these new targets. And you're exactly right. The only way we're going to be able to develop new therapies in that setting is through clinical trials. And so, for the appropriate people, genetic testing or testing of the tumor or somatic testing could very well identify clinical trial opportunities for them, and that's the way we're going to move forward. Greg Guthrie: Outstanding. And again, I really love this distinction between somatic and germline testing and clarifying that for our listeners today. Dr. Meric-Bernstam and Dr. Robson, thanks so much for your time today and for sharing your expertise on these ASCO recommendations. It's been great having you and chatting with you today.
