How do we know whether surgery has cured a patient with cancer? Combined analyses of cell-free DNA and white blood cells may provide a more accurate way to predict whether patients have residual disease. @leal_md_sp @hopkinskimmel nature.com/articles/s4146…

Why do some lung cancer patients respond to immunotherapy while others do not? Multimodal genomic features recently published in Nature Cancer may help identify patients that benefit most from immune checkpoint blockade. nature.com/articles/s4301…

Circulating tumor DNA approach from @velculescu & @HopkinsMedicine could noninvasively detect early-stage cancer bit.ly/2x8tReH

A6: An alternative is immunotherapy that can be very effective in patients with high mutation load bit.ly/immunotxrespon… #CancerGenomics

A6: There may be a limit to the number of new therapies we can develop against mutated proteins in cancer. #CancerGenomics

...we need to accurately identify and interpret changes in the cancer genome. bit.ly/accuratesequen… #CanceGenomics

A2 But we can’t have precision medicine without precision genomics... #CancerGenomics

A2 Understanding the genomic changes in a cancer can help us match the right patient with the right therapy. #CancerGenomics

Great tweet chat on cancer genomics and precision medicine #cancergenomics
