Clinical benefit of additional whole-exome sequencing over panel sequencing in an all-comer real-world molecular tumor board
In our MTB, WES enabled some additional clinically highly actionable recommendations for selected patients, suggesting that some patients do benefit from additional WES. These recommendations were often related to complex biomarkers, which may in principle also be derived from larger panels. These findings should be re-investigated prospectively in larger cohorts.
