Prospective Procurement of Solid Tumor Tissue to Identify Novel Therapeutic Targets

Recent advances and insights into the molecular pathogenesis of cancer have led to the development of novel molecular and biologic targeted therapies for the treatment of advanced cancer patients. A critical challenge in extending these studies involves the identification and validation of new therapeutic targets for future cancer therapies. In this study, we performed whole exome and RNA-Seq analysis metastases to determine the nature and frequency of somatic mutations.
