AbstractModifiers of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) responses in cancer patients are complex and remain poorly characterized, especially in gynecologic cancers. In this study, we explored fluxomic biomarkers that differentiate responders from non-responders to ICIs in a series of 49 patients with gynecologic cancers, including ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers.

AbstractWomen with germline PTEN variants (PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome, PHTS) have up to 85% lifetime risk of female breast cancer (BC). We previously showed that PHTS-derived BCs are distinct from sporadic BCs both at the clinical and genomic levels. In this study, we examined somatic copy number variations (CNV) and transcriptome data to further characterize the somatic landscape of PHTS-derived BCs. We analyzed exome sequencing data from 44 BCs from women with PHTS for CNV.
