Concert Genetics Oncology: Molecular Analysis of Solid Tumors and Hematologic Malignancies V2.2023 Date of Last Revision: 3/1/2023 CONCERT GENETICS ONCOLOGY: MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF SOLID TUMORS AND HEMATOLOGIC MALIGNANCIES See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. OVERVIEW The molecular analysis of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies aims to identify somatic oncogenic mutations in cancer. These mutations, often called “driver” mutations, are becoming increasingly useful for targeted therapy selection, and may give insight into prognosis and treatment response in a subset of cancers. In addition, molecular analysis of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, in particular, can also aid in making a diagnosis of a specific type of malignancy. For solid tumors, molecular analysis can be performed via direct testing of the tumor (which is addressed in this policy) or via circulating tumor DNA or circulating tumor cells (CTCs) (see Other Related Policies). For hematologic malignancies, molecular analysis can be performed on blood samples or bone marrow biopsy samples. For individuals with advanced cancer, somatic comprehensive genomic profiling offers the potential to evaluate a large number of genetic markers in the cancer simultaneously in order to provide potential treatment options beyond the current standard of care. While the primary goal of the molecular analysis of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies is to identify biomarkers that diagnose or to give prognostic and treatment selection information, this testing also has the potential to uncover clinically relevant germline variations that are associated with a hereditary cancer susceptibility syndrome, and other conditions, if confirmed to be present in the germline. Current tumor testing strategies include tumor-only testing, tumor- normal paired testing with germline variant subtraction, and tumor-normal paired testing with explicit analysis of a group of genes associated with germline cancer predisposition. This is an evolving area and clear guidelines around the optimal approach for identification and reporting of the presumed germline pathogenic variants (PGPVs) are emerging. 1

Tumor mutation burden testing is a measurement of mutations carried by tumor cells and is a predictive biomarker that is being studied to evaluate its association with response to immunotherapy.
Advanced cancer is cancer that is unlikely to be cured or controlled with treatment. The cancer may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body. Treatment may be given to help shrink the tumor, slow the growth of cancer cells, or relieve symptoms.
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms are rare overlapping blood diseases in which the bone marrow makes too many red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. There are seven subcategories of myeloproliferative neoplasms:
■ Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) ■ Polycythemia vera (PV) ■ Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) ■ Essential thrombocytopenia (ET) ■ Chronic neutrophilic leukemia 28

Concert Genetics Oncology: Molecular Analysis of Solid Tumors and Hematologic Malignancies V2.2023 Date of Last Revision: 3/1/2023 ■ Chronic eosinophilic leukemia ■ Chronic eosinophilic leukemia-not otherwise specified ■ MPN, unclassifiable (MPN-U) back to top CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS Clinical decision making should not be made based on variants of uncertain significance. NCCN and ASCO recommend that all individuals diagnosed with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer have germline and somatic tumor testing (if not previously performed) for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. The genetic testing of tumors and hematologic malignancies (somatic mutation profiling) may reveal incidental germline findings or suspicion of a clinically significant germline mutation. Providers should communicate the potential for these incidental findings with their patients prior to somatic mutation profiling.
ACMG (2020) recognized that tumor testing is an emerging area and that the identification of presumed germline pathogenic variants (PGPVs) have profound health and reproductive implications for the individual with cancer as well as their family members. Thus, individuals undergoing tumor testing should be informed prior to testing that a germline variant may be uncovered. PGPVs should be carefully evaluated, confirmed, and reported when tumor testing is performed. Currently, there is a lack of evidence for best practices to report PGPVs to patients who want them. back to top BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Tumor-Type Agnostic Solid Tumor Molecular Profiling Panel Tests National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) The NCCN guidelines on Breast Cancer (2.2023) recommend comprehensive somatic testing to aid in clinical management of patients with recurrent/stage IV breast cancer. (p. BINV-18) 29

Concert Genetics Oncology: Molecular Analysis of Solid Tumors and Hematologic Malignancies V2.2023 Date of Last Revision: 3/1/2023 The NCCN guideline on Occult Primary (3.2023) recommends MSI and MMR testing as part of the initial work up for patients with cancer of unknown primary. The guideline further recommends consideration of NGS to identify actionable genomic aberrations after a histological determination of the tumor has been made. (p. OCC-1). The NCCN guideline on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (2.2023) recommends molecular testing for advanced or metastatic disease, including EGFR, ALK, KRAS, ROS1, BRAF, NTRK1/2/3, METex14 skipping, RET, PD-L1. They also recommend broader molecular profiling with the goal of identifying rare driver mutations for which effective drugs may already be available. (p. NSCL-18). The guidelines also state that repeat somatic genetic testing can be helpful to aid in deciding next therapeutic steps when a patient’s tumor shows evidence of progression on first- line therapy. (p. NSCL-H 6 of 7) The NCCN guideline for Colon Cancer (3.2022) recommends all patients with metastatic colorectal cancer have tumor genotyping for KRAS, NRAS, BRAF individually or as part of an NGS panel. Testing can be performed on the primary tumor and/or metastases (p. COL-B 4 of 8). The NCCN guideline for Gastric Cancer (2.2022) recommends that patients with inoperable locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach considering trastuzumab therapy have IHC for HER2 and NGS when limited diagnostic tissue is available or patient can't undergo a traditional biopsy. The guidelines also recommend that repeat tumor testing can be considered when there is clinical or radiologic evidence for disease progression of advanced gastric cancer (p. GAST-B 3 of 6). The NCCN guideline for Ovarian Cancer Including Fallopian Tumor Cancer and Primary Peritoneal Cancer (1.2023) recommends that patients with recurrent disease, tumor molecular analysis have at a minimum, tests to identify potential benefit from targeted therapeutics that have tumor specific or tumor-agnostic benefit. (p OV-6) More comprehensive testing may be particularly important in less common histologies with limited approved therapeutic options. (p. OV-B 1 of 3) These guidelines also recommend that molecular testing be performed on the most recent tumor tissue available. (p. OV-8) The NCCN guideline for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (2.2022) recommends tumor/somatic molecular profiling for patients with local advanced/metastatic disease who are candidates for anti-cancer therapy to identify uncommon mutations. They also recommend considering specifically testing for potentially actionable somatic findings including but not limited to fusions (ALK, NRG1, NTRK, ROS1, FGFR2, RET), mutations BRAF, BRCA1/2, KRAS, PALB2, amplifications (HER2), MSI, and or mismatch repair deficiency. (p. PANC-1A) The NCCN guideline for Prostate Cancer (1.2023) recommends for somatic tumor testing and that tumor molecular and biomarker analysis may be used for treatment decision-making, 30

Concert Genetics Oncology: Molecular Analysis of Solid Tumors and Hematologic Malignancies V2.2023 Date of Last Revision: 3/1/2023 including understanding eligibility for biomarker-directed treatments, genetic counseling, early use of platinum chemotherapy, and eligibility for clinical trials. The guidelines also recommend that repeat tumor profiles can be considered at the time of progression of disease. They also recommend tumor testing for alterations in homologous recombination DNA report genes such as BRCA1/2, ATM, PALB2, FANCA, RAD512D, CHEK2, CDK12, is for patients with metastatic prostate cancer. (p. PROS-C 3 of 3) Comprehensive Molecular Profiling Panels for Hematologic Malignancies and Myeloid Malignancy Panels National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) The NCCN guidelines for acute myeloid leukemia (3.2022) recommends for patients over the age of 18 testing that includes a complete blood count, platelets, differential, comprehensive metabolic panel, uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase, vitamin B12 and folic acid, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, and bone marrow core biopsy and aspirate analyses. (p.EVAL-1). Multiplex gene panels and comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis are recommended for the ongoing management of AML and various phases of treatment (p. EVAL-1A). The NCCN guidelines for myelodysplastic syndromes (1.2023) recommend that patients who have persistent cytopenia (at least 4 to 6 months) and lack other underlying conditions that could cause cytopenia should be evaluated for myelodysplastic syndromes. (p. MS-3) NCCN describes cytopenia that is suspicious for myelodysplasia as the presence of peripheral blood dysplasia, blasts, or MDS-associated cytogenetic abnormalities. They say cytopenias are defined as values lower than standard lab hematologic levels, being cognizant of age, sex, ethnic, and altitude norms (p. MDS-1, p. MDS-2).
