The integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS) comprehensive gene profiling (CGP) into clinical practice is playing an increasingly important role in oncology. Therefore, the HKU-HKSH Multi-disciplinary Molecular Tumour Board (MTB) was established to advance precision oncology in Hong Kong. A multicenter retrospective study investigated the feasibility of the HKU-HKSH MTB in determining genome-guided therapy for treatment-refractory solid cancers in Hong Kong….
