| Summary: | Abstract Evaluating the effectiveness of cancer treatments in relation to specific tumor mutations is essential for improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of precision medicine. Here we represent a comprehensive analysis of 78,287 U.S. cancer patients with detailed somatic mutation profiling integrated with treatment and outcomes data extracted from electronic health records. We systematically identified 776 genomic alterations associated with survival outcomes across 20 distinct cancer types treated with specific immunotherapies, chemotherapies, or targeted therapies. Additionally, we demonstrate how mutations in particular pathways correlate with treatment response. Leveraging the large number of identified predictive mutations, we developed a machine learning model to generate a risk score for response to immunotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC). Through rigorous computational analysis of large-scale clinico-genomic real-world data, this research provides insights and lays the groundwork for further advancements in precision oncology. |
