Illumina Oncology: ASCO Fireside Chat with Chief Medical Officer Phil Febbo

27 July 2023

Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) https://www.illumina.com/areas-of-interest/cancer/clinical-cancer-research/cgp.html assesses hundreds of tumor genes to find actionable mutations and is becoming the standard of care for many cancers. However, oncologists often opt for single-gene tests (SGT) before pursuing CGP. A recent study https://meetings.asco.org/abstracts-presentations/219900, conducted by Labcorp and presented at the recent American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) https://meetings.asco.org/meetings/2023-asco-annual-meeting/299/program-guide/scheduled-sessions Annual Meeting, showed that SGTs use up precious biopsy samples, reducing CGP effectiveness and depriving patients of comprehensive genomic information about their tumors. Illumina Chief Medical Officer Phil Febbo discussed this study with Dr. Vivek Subbiah, MD, now chief of Early-Phase Drug Development at Sarah Cannon Research Institute and Dr. Prasanth Reddy, a medical oncologist.
