Abstract

Tumor molecular profiling has enabled selection of targeted therapies in a host of solid tumors. Here we used a retrospective clinical cohort, to evaluate the benefit of tailoring treatments for female genital tract malignancy, using tumor molecular profiles. Clinical outcome data for 112 patients was retrospectively separated into two groups. These either followed a matched treatment plan that incorporated at least one drug recommended according to their tumor profile and none that were expected to have no benefit (64 patients), or was unmatched with suggested treatments and received at least one drug that was anticipated to lack benefit for that tumor (48 patients). In the group of patients whose drugs matched those recommended by molecular profiling of their tumor, their overall survival was 593 days on average, compared to 449 days for patients that did not; removing drugs predicted to have no benefit from treatment regimens received after profiling increased survival by 144 days on average (
