Study results reveal mechanistic insights critical to discover more effective personalized treatment options for cancer patients

Bostongene today announced its ASCO poster detailing the results of a study characterizing the differences between invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), including distinct genomic alterations, gene expression, transcriptomic features, TMEs, and biomarkers, received a GRASP Advocate Choice Award. GRASP (Guiding Researchers and Advocates to Scientific Partnerships) is a nonprofit, patient-led organization committed to accelerating and improving cancer treatments by connecting patients, clinicians, and researchers. GRASP was started in 2019 by two breast cancer survivors and advocates who identified a need for breaking down silos and fostering connections within the cancer community. GRASP, held in conjunction with the 2023

American Society of Clinical Oncology

annual meeting, took place on June 14-15, 2023. The poster was presented by Jason Mouabbi, MD, assistant professor of Breast Medical Oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, on behalf of researchers at BostonGene and MD Anderson.The study, Differential genomic and transcriptomic analysis of invasive lobular and ductal carcinomas, which analyzed samples from patients treated at MD Anderson, describes the use of BostonGene’s integrated genomic and transcriptomic analysis platform to provide an in-depth understanding of the molecular differences between two breast cancer subtypes, ILC and IDC. The results revealed mechanistic insights for both subtypes that can be used to tailor ILC-specific interventional clinical trials, which can help discover more effective personalized treatment options for patients with this aggressive subtype.“We are honored to receive this award based on the collaborative research effort, which recognizes our continued commitment to cancer research and developing innovative solutions to advance patient care,” said Krystle Nomie, PhD, VP, Research Partnerships at BostonGene.
