Clinical actionability in gliomas revealed by real-world next-generation sequencing: a multicentric study.

ABSTRACT: Treatment options for patients with gliomas remain limited, and prognosis is generally poor. While next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly used to stratify glioma patients and guide therapy, its implementation in routine clinical practice remains variable. We conducted a multicenter retrospective study across seven Spanish hospitals to evaluate the clinical utility of NGS in glioma management, focusing on its impact on diagnosis and treatment selection based on the ESMO Scale for Clinical Actionability of Molecular Targets (ESCAT). A total of 541 glioma patients diagnosed between 2018 and 2022 were included; 76% had glioblastomas and 24% other glioma subtypes. Among glioblastoma patients, 9% harbored ESCAT tier 1/2 alterations and 74% tier 3/4. Molecularly matched therapy was admi
