Collaborative review of molecular profiling data by multidisciplinary molecular tumor boards (MTB) is increasingly important for improving patient management and outcomes, though currently relies nearly exclusively on nucleic acid next-generation sequencing (NGS) and limited panels of immunohistochemistry-based protein abundance data. We examined the feasibility of incorporating real-time laser microdissection (LMD) enrichment of tumor epithelium and commercial CLIA-based reverse phase protein array (RPPA) protein drug target expression/activation profiling into our cancer centers MTB to complement standard clinical NGS-based profiling. The LMD-RPPA workflow was performed within a therapeutically permissive timeframe with a median dwell time of nine days, during which specimens were processed outside of standard clinical workflows. The RPPA-generated data supported additional and/or alternative therapeutic considerations for 54% of profiled patients following review by the MTB. These findings suggest that integrating proteomic/phosphoproteomic and NGS-based genomic data creates opportunities to further personalize clinical decision-making for precision oncology.
