Learning objectives

• To acknowledge that an increasing number of therapeutics that require biomarkers testing are available for clinical use or are in an advanced phase of clinical development
• To understand how different technologies can be used for biomarker testing depending on the nature of the biomarker and the availability of biological samples
• To draw attention to the increasing use of large panels for comprehensive genomic profiling raises issues on data interpretation that require a multidisciplinary approach
• To obtain in-depth understanding of how monitoring the molecular evolution of the disease might allow the identification of resistance mechanisms and the development of more effective therapeutic strategies
• To understand that the identification of germline variants requires the activation of genetic counselling programs for patients and their families
