EGAD00001015362	In 43 patients pretreatment tumor biopsies, resected tumors and normal tissue of sufficient quality and quantity were obtained to longitudinally explore the mutational profiles of a comprehensive set of cancer-related genes. For tumor samples, one to four FFPE sections (10 µm thickness, number depending on sample size) were lysed for genomic DNA isolation. Isolation was performed semi-automatically on the Maxwell purification system (Maxwell RSC DNA FFPE Kit, AS1450, Promega) as specified by the manufacturer. DNA was eluted in 50 µl RNase-free water and quantified fluorescently for library preparation using a Qubit 2.0 fluorometer (Life Technology) with its appertaining DNA broad-range assay. Corresponding normal DNA was isolated from blood or PBMCs using routinely available QIAGEN technology. DNA was stored at -20°C before use. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed using the Twist Human Core + RefSeq + Mitochondrial Panel (Twist Bioscience), and 2 x 100 bp fragment sizes were sequenced using a NovaSeq6000 (Illumina). Demultiplexing of sequenced reads was achieved using bcl2fastq (version 2.2).	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	145
EGAD00010002654	Two to four sections of 10 Âµm thickness each (depending on sample size) from the respective formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sample were used for RNA isolation on 46 resected tumors as well as 17 paired biopsies. Digital gene expression analysis was performed on the NanoString nCounter platform, utilizing the NanoString MAX/FLEX system, with the PanCancer Immune Profiling panel as well as the PanCancer Pathway panel provided by NanoString.
