Liquid biopsy (LBx) has emerged as a non-invasive genomic profiling approach to guide decision-making and to monitor resistance in cancer, especially when access to tumor tissue is limited. However, one of the key challenges of LBx is distinguishing somatic variants from clonal hematopoiesis (CH)-derived variants, which can occur in biologically relevant genes and confound variant interpretation. In this webinar, Dr. Keller and Dr. Fares (IUCT Oncopole, France) will explore real-world cases where insights from MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ helped inform decisions. The decentralized liquid biopsy solution integrates matched white blood cell (WBC) DNA sequencing to filter out CH and germline variants, increasing confidence in the somatic origin of detected alterations.

Clinical Genomics at MSK
Michael Berger, Ph.D
Co-Director, Marie Josee & Henry Kravis Center for Molecular Oncology, MSKCC
Dr. Berger’s session will explore the development of MSK-IMPACT and MSK-ACCESS, MSK’s comprehensive genomic profiling andcfDNA analysis programs. These initiatives address the need for large-scale molecular profiling across diverse tumor types. A keyfocus will be the role of matched tumor-normal sequencing in reducing biological false positives, ensuring true somatic variantsare accurately identified while enabling seamless integration of germline analysis. Dr. Berger will also discuss how SOPHiAGENETICS has become a key collaborator, empowering MSK to expand the accessibility of precision oncology globally throughscalable, cloud-based solutions.
Advancing Precision Oncology with a Matched Tumor-Normal Approach: Insights from the Clinic
Anita Bowman, M.S,
Associate Director of Clinical Bioinformatics, MSKCC
Anita Bowman will delve into the clinical applications of MSK-IMPACT and MSK-ACCESS at MSK, illustrating how thesetechnologies meet the personalized needs of patients. Through real-world case studies, she will showcase how a matchedtumor-normal approach has enhanced diagnosis and treatment planning. This methodology not only minimizes false positivesbut also identifies clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and resistance mechanisms, improving precision intreatment strategies.
