Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Plasma genotyping may identify mutations in potentially "actionable" cancer genes, such as BRCA1/2, but their clinical significance is not well-defined. We evaluated the characteristics of somatically acquired BRCA1/2 mutations in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Patients with MBC undergoing routine cell-free DNA (cfDNA) next-generation sequencing (73-gene panel) before...
