Abstract:In a prospective clinical initiative, we selected heavily pretreated head and neck carcinoma patients and assessed the clinical utility of a protein-based oncopanel for identification of potential targetable markers. Tumor samples of 45 patients were evaluated using a 12-marker immunohistochemistry panel. The primary end point was the prevalence of potentially actionable markers. At least one expressed marker in each case could be identified. We noted a high prevalence of EGFR (80%, 39/45) and MET (57.4%, 28/45). Three patients received oncopanel-based therapy with variable results. Despite the limited number of treated subjects, oncopanel analysis in end-stage head and neck cancer is operationally and technically feasible. Combination with targeted next generation sequencing might provide additional therapy options.
