Although accuracy remains a focus in whole-body MRI testing in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, comfortable testing experiences may ease anxiety.
Subsequent testing among patients in a prospective study may affirm the ability of cfDNA sequencing to detect cancers in those with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
cfDNA sequencing may allow for more accessible, frequent, and sensitive testing compared with standard surveillance in Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
STX-478 showed efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors regardless of whether they had kinase domain or helical PI3K mutations.
STX-478 may avoid adverse effects associated with prior PI3K inhibitors that lack selectivity for the mutated protein vs the wild-type protein.
Phase 1 data may show the possibility of rationally designing agents that can preferentially target PI3K mutations in solid tumors.
