4 Disappearing line between Geospatial Technologies and Information Technologies SOA Mapping Digital data file Geographic Information Systems Spatial Information Technology
5 Latest Technology Trends Big Data Technology Hadoop, MapReduce, Hadoop File System (HDFS), Apache SPARK Cloud Computing
6 Big Data Technology Defined Big Data: Techniques and Technologies that Enable Enterprises to Effectively and Economically Analyze All of their Data
7 Big Data Definition The 3Vs Current Viewpoint: Big Data = Hadoop Volume (amount of data) Velocity (speed of data in and out) Variety (range of data types and sources) Meta Group (now Gartner) definition of Big Data 4 th V - Veracity (Uncertainty of Data) IBM added a 4 th V Emerging Viewpoint: Big Data = Hadoop + Relational + NoSQL Facebook, 2014 Gartner Is Big Spatial Data different from Big Data? How does Big Spatial data fit into GIS?
8 Big Data Architecture Discover And Predict, Fast BIG DATA ANALYTICS BIG DATA APPLICATIONS Accelerate Data- Driven Action DATA CAPITAL Simplify Access To All Data BIG DATA MANAGEMENT BIG DATA INTEGRATION Connect And Govern Any Data Copyright Copyright 2014, Oracle 2014 Oracle and/or and/or its affiliates. its affiliates. All rights All rights reserved. reserved. Oracle Confidential 8
9 Key Factors Simplify access to all data Discover and predict, fast Govern and secure all data 9
10 Big Data + Advanced Analytics Profile Find Understand Transform Discover Predict Collaborate Easily add data and see it automatically and continuously cataloged, enriched and related Use familiar guided search across massive amounts of diverse data Know what s important from diagnostic analysis of millions of data characteristics Powerful tools to quickly clean up and wrangle dirty data so it s ready to go Uncover valuable new insights Use new insights to define and refine predictive models Publish, share and evolve as you learn more Oracle Confidential Internal 10
11 Cloud Computing Cloud computing enables customers to consume compute resources as a utility Just like electricity No need to build and maintain computing infrastructures in-house Involves large data centers by cloud providers Public Cloud and Private Cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS): Amazon AWS storage platform as a service (PaaS): IBM, Oracle, MS Azure software as service (SaaS): AWS web services, Oracle, IBM Copyright Copyright 2014, Oracle 2014 Oracle and/or and/or its affiliates. its affiliates. All rights All rights reserved. reserved. Oracle Confidential 11
12 Elastically Scalable Consumers can scale up as needs increase and then scale down again as demands decrease Elastic is ideally dynamic and transparent, but can also be a specific action Most important is that it is possible Applies to storage, infrastructure, and software Elasticity also implies fault tolerance built into the system Seamlessly transfer the state of the application to a backup if the primary fails Virtualization Software is very important to achieve this goal Oracle Confidential Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted
13 Self-Service Operations End users can spin up computing resources for almost any type of workload on-demand This applies to storage and compute resources All application and system related operations that a customer performs should be accessible via self-service by a customer without requiring any filing of service request to either support or cloud operations teams This involves managing space (eg. their block store or object store space) being able to access and analyze diagnostic logs being able to migrate data and metadata from one environment to another Oracle Confidential Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted
14 Pay Per-Use Computing resources are measured at a granular level allows users to pay only for the resources and workloads they use This is one of the most important aspects for the growth of the cloud Consumers can now access a very large pool of computing resources when required without worrying about the cost or management of these hardware resources Oracle Confidential Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted
15 Big Data vs Cloud Computing Is Big Data same as cloud computing? Not really, but they are tightly related Big Data by itself is not affordable for all consumers Large infrastructure cost to build cluster computing resources Human cost to find trained IT staff to manage them But Cloud service providers can afford to manage these large computing resources and make slices of it available to consumers Cloud computing has many technologies Hadoop, MapReduce, Relational DBs, middleware technology
16 Spatial Big Data and Cloud Computing challenges
17 Spatial Big Data Challenges Geo-tagging in the context of partial or indirect reference Minimize the time it takes to make the data available for analysis Discover Spatial and Temporal correlations between different data points Data loading time should be minimal to make the data available for use Load the data for immediate use, but create spatial indexes over time How to leverage the code from spatial database applications developed over the years Predictive Analytics for various applications
18 Location Infused Technology Java, Databases, Applications, Cloud
19 GeoSpatial Big Data Sources Traditional Data sources Raster (satellite imagery, elevation models, images) Vector (road networks, admin boundaries) Machine generated Internet of things Social media Sensors In vehicle navigation systems (trajectories, traffic information) Mobile phones
20 Extend Spatial Analytics with Cloud and Big Data
21 Predictive Analysis based on tweets How to infer potential trouble based on tweets? Data may have more than one spatial location Tweets are generated from a location, but the tweet might be referring to events at a different location Find the trend meet at NYC city center at 4PM protest against climate change Take action to deploy law enforcement to stop any potential crowd trouble Needs new algorithms to find spatial-temporal correlations and predict future events
22 Spatial Cloud Services System Developers (CS background) Focus on big data, database, SPARK, enabling data sets, etc. Application Developers (GIS background) Think about solving bigger problems More analysis frameworks and data sets are available now No barriers for entry Predictive analytics
23 Precision Farming Example Goal: Build Predictive Analytical Model to increase the crop yield Minimize water resources Minimize fertilizer Minimize the human capital cost Use all available sensor based data sources Satellite imagery, ground based sensors, etc.
24 How to build a precision farming application Acquire satellite data as required Acquire disk storage for storing the data Setup a cluster of machines to do the computations Find a scientist to build the models required to do the analytics using the raster data Expensive due to hardware, data acquisition and software costs
25 Need to develop new Spatial Algorithms? Map-Reduce uses data partitioning to achieve high performance Can we use divide and conquer algorithms without modifications? Depends on how the data is stored Need new algorithms for new use cases Data Scientist s focus should be on analysis of data Storage and data management should be done by the system This should be done via a model driven architecture
26 Spatial Cloud Services Development
27 Data storage and indexing Systems should support a few data storage and indexing models Vector data Raster data Sensor data Enable spatial and temporal search Applications can choose one of the provided storage models based in the data and query requirements Provide alternate ways to acquire data as required Web services, buy as needed, use from existing sources Provide reference data and models Free up the data scientist to do actual data analysis instead of data storage and layout models
28 Geo-Spatial Big Data Management Use once Data is loaded into the data store and analyzed once Extract summary or intelligence once and use it in other places Use many times Query the data to answer different types of questions Produce new data products
29 Data Analytics Challenge Separate silos of information to analyze Database 29
30 Data Analytics Challenge Separate data access interfaces Database 30
31 What does simplification mean for Spatial Big data analytics PhD Before Data Science Anyone After Web service APIs???
32 Spatial Cloud Services Application Development
33 Advanced Analytics Bring the Analytics to the Data Understand the data Decipher the data to uncover hidden patterns that can be used for better decisions Understand hidden correlations and use these relationships to solve business problems Predict future outcomes based on observed data before they happen Use predictive analytics, machine learning, and data mining techniques on big data
34 Two types of Analytical Approaches Reactive Collect large volumes of data from event logs, web logs, etc. Process, analyze and extract summaries from the data Feed the summary data into a traditional DW system Proactive Process the data as it comes in to find the correlations Find out if the patterns in the new data mean something Initiate actions based on perceived patterns
35 Precision Farming Example Multi-band raster data RGB Thermal Vegetation Analyze thermal band for vegetation properties Compute NDVI models Results can be used to model Water requirements for different parts of the farm Growth indicators Fertilizer schedules Identify under growth (caused by pests)
36 Application Development in Spatial Cloud Before Application Development After Spatial Cloud APIs Database Database
37 Breaking Barriers with Cloud Computing Cloud computing changing the way systems are built No more proprietary data silos Better result than what OGC/ISO standards have achieved in this respect No more closed systems Traditional software development paradigms are changing On premise cloud will replace most of the on-premise proprietary systems

However, according to CNN, Syria was likely a secondary issue of concern for the Chinese delegation, which hoped for the meeting to go well following Trump's aggressive rhetoric on U.S. Trump, a NY real estate magnate before he ran for office, joked before dinner: "We've had a long discussion already, and so far I have gotten nothing, absolutely nothing".
In a letter addressed to House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate president pro tempore Orrin Hatch, Trump gave details on the missile strike on the Shayrat military airfield. "Once the ISIS threat has been reduced or eliminated, I think we can turn our attention directly to stabilizing the situation in Syria", he said, using an alternative acronym for ISIL.
Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly is questioning Kelly's loyalty for writing in her just-published memoir and talking about accusations that former Fox chief Roger Ailes made unwanted sexual advances on her a decade ago. The advertiser boycotts, however, are likely manageable for Fox, said Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser in a note Tuesday.

Pence struck a stern tone as he began talks with Abe and other Japanese leaders after arriving at a US naval base from South Korea. Under rainfall, Pence later stood a few meters from the military demarcation line outside Freedom House, gazing at the North Korean soldiers across the border, and then peered at a deforested stretch of North Korea from a lookout post in the hillside.
Tesla has been putting its upcoming Model 3 electric vehicle through its paces, and the public is taking note. The idea of a Tesla truck isn't completely new: Musk did mention it in one of his " master plan " posts past year. Lutz in the interview said that the federal government is saving Tesla and the state incentives that are given to the company otherwise the way it has been bleeding cash, it would have been hard for the company to survive.
Broadnax said Peterkin indicated she was angry about the father's new girlfriend. Broadnax said she notified police, and Peterkin was later arrested and charged with child endangerment. "[In] the video I sent to the police, she had a plastic bag". Peterkin could face up to 10 years in prison if she is convicted. Harris County Sheriff's Office Child Abuse Unit investigators were asked to take over the case.
Johnson was the Texans' first pick in their second ever National Football League draft. He finished his career with 1,062 catches for 14,185 yards and 70 touchdowns. According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle , the Texans are planning a future ceremony to honor Johnson. SB Nation's Louis Bien took a look at Johnson's career after he announced his retirement in October, and pointed out just how darn good he actually was.
The importance of a slight disparity like that can be debated, but the Maple Leafs' 61 percent edge in a game that lasted more than 90 minutes took a toll on the Capitals on Saturday night, especially as they were attempting to rally from a deficit for most of the game.
Minutes earlier, Trump once again gave his favorite history lesson: "easily won the Electoral College!" President Trump promised at many different points to make his tax returns public, and still, he has shown no indication of releasing the returns.
According to memos obtained by the Associated Press , Delta Airlines is set to up the ante for customers being asked to give up their seats. At his baseball game Saturday, there was a very special umpire behind ...

The demonstrations came just days before the deadline for taxpayers to file their returns. 'The only way we can know what kind of business ties our president has with businesses all over the world is by looking at his tax returns.

Before I head down into coding I want to be sure that everyone is one the same page regarding the expected use-cases which govern the API design. IIUC, there are two main uses of the new functionality according to design document: 1.) run 'server_del' when 'ipa-replica-manage del' is run in domain-level 1Right, this is for backwards compatibility(BC).2.) during 'ipa-server-install --uninstall', 'server_del' should be called on one of remote masters to remove the uninstalled server from the managed topology What I didn't get from the design document is whether the method should have some kind of 'force' option which should bypass all topology connectivity checks. Currently both `ipa-replica-manage del` and server uninstaller have options which will force the removal even if it disconnects the topology ('--force' in the former, '--ignore-disconnected-topology' in the latter).I would say that uninstaller should do checks in validate method therefore the subsequent `server-del` doesn't need to do it again but it shouldn't harm. I.e. it should follow what the user specified. If user wants to skip (--ignore-d..-t..) then skip. If not then it will fail in validate method. Only issue might be error state where servers have different picture of the topology.If the view of the topology is not self-consistent then you have plenty of other issues to take care of and that may include some forced removal and recreation of nodes.I guess the 'server_del' method should inherit this flag so that we retain the original functionality (for better or worse). I propose to name this option 'ignore_topology_disconnect' because it is more descriptive than plain 'force'.+1 And in BC case, `ipa-replica-manage --force` would call `server-del --ig..-d..-t...`Yes.I would also like to ask whether 'server_del' (which is currently NO_CLI) should be usable also from command line.IMO yes, it should mostly as a couterpart of `ipa-replica-manage --force --clean` Which bring us to --clean option and what it should do...According to the design, '--clean' should be used as a cleanup of leftovers after deleted servers. How I image it from the implementation point of view is that when '--clean' is specified and the server was already deleted, the NotFound error raised from the framework should be ignored and the code should continue in clean up. (I assume that segment/service/dns cleanup will be done in post_callback portion and the topology connectivity/sanity checks in the pre_callback).When thinking about it, clean could be a separate command which would be called internally in post callback of server-del. It would reduce the number of ifs in server-del and simplify it in general. It would work only if server entry doesn't exists.That was my original idea. I also thought that 'check_last_link_managed' could be a separate command, but it is probably not a very good idea to add the overhead of calling two separate commands to a single API call. OTOH it would improve the code organization IMHO.Not sure if check_last_link_managed should be an API command. It is already a separate function. What would be the use case for it as a command? Maybe the function should be moved from ipaserver/install/replication to a more suitable place given that it's used from API - it's up to you.That means that '--clean' has no additional effect when the server exists.Right[1] http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Manage_replication_topology_4_4 [2] https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5588There are two more things I would like to clarify before I can finish the patch: 1.) We have discussed offline that the ensure_last_services function[1] shall be reimplemented in the API command using server roles (I will open a ticket for this when time comes). Currently the code works interactively, prompting the user about removing last DNS/CA/etc server. The behavior is overriden by --force option. I guess we do not want to have interactive prompting in the API command, so we will have to handle this somehow. A proposal would be to by default abort removal of last DNS/CA server and add a '--force' option which will override this check and also override the disconnected topology check (IMHO it is not of much use to keep both options in this case). What do you think?In general +1. * move services automatically but fail if it is the last * have override param to force it. It can be mapped to `ipa server-del --force`. Or maybe other name than --force (too easy to use, very general).
Actually I would like if *all* del commands had --force, which, if used, would make the commands idempotent - if the target object does not exist, do not fail - just like rm and virtually every other rm-like command.
2.) Removal of DNS entries is handled by directly calling bindinstance/dnskeysyncinstance code[2]. Obviously this is not very desirable in the context of API code since we would then need to conditionally import these modules on server side (one option but not very nice IMHO). Should I reimplement this code using API commands or move the relevant bits into ipapython/ipalib?Both methods (ensure_last_services, removal of DNS records) should be moved. There is no need for separate API calls. But we might want to consider other option if simple move is not so simple.[1] https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/freeipa.git/tree/install/tools/ipa-replica-manage?h=ipa-4-3#n753 [2] https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/freeipa.git/tree/install/tools/ipa-replica-manage?h=ipa-4-3#n810

March 2018—Among the many never-ending chores that humans undertake—paying bills, filing taxes, flossing—writing medical guidelines can seem like an especially perpetual task. Just ask the architects of an updated document on molecular testing for lung cancer, issued by the CAP, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, and the Association for Molecular Pathology.
How empowering to produce a hefty, 18-statement-strong work (plus three specific changes to the previous guideline), aimed at selecting patients for treatment with targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Lindeman NI, Cagle PT, Aisner DL, et al. Arch Pathol Lab Med. Published online ahead of print Jan. 22, 2018. doi:10.5858/arpa.2017-0388-CP).
And how fatiguing to realize, even as the guideline neared completion, that compelling new research was already knocking at the door.
"One of the challenges in a systematic review process is that the information comes faster than you can establish the systematic review process," says coauthor Dara Aisner, MD, PhD, associate professor, Department of Pathology, and director, Colorado Molecular Correlates Laboratory, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora.
That's not to say the guideline is deficient. Rather, the guideline reflects molecular testing in all its complexity and importance, says coauthor Philip Cagle, MD. "Just because something is newly described" doesn't mean it's earned guideline status, no matter how promising. "This is intended to assist physicians, their patients, and their families in selecting the best and most up-to-date treatment with these inhibitors. We don't want to endorse something that may not pan out," says Dr. Cagle, director of pulmonary pathology and professor, Department of Pathology and Genomic Medicine, Houston Methodist Hospital, and professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York.
It also serves as a welcome update to the previous guideline, published in 2013 (and a massive undertaking in its own right). The latest iteration doesn't so much change the tenor of discussions as it addresses advances and technical knowledge that have emerged in recent years, says lead author Neal Lindeman, MD.
But he already spies areas where updates are likely to be needed. There is no rest for the weary. As the Almighty told ancient followers stamping their feet impatiently at the edge of the Promised Land, arrival brings both a blessing and a curse.
Among the new arrivals in this latest guideline is ROS1 testing, which joins EGFR and ALK as routine testing in lung adenocarcinoma cases. Testing for all three mutations must be performed on all patients, regardless of clinical characteristics.
"That's probably the No. 1 change," says Dr. Lindeman, associate professor of pathology, Harvard Medical School, and director, Center for Advanced Molecular Diagnostics, Brigham and Women's Hospital.
A second highlight, he says, is the recognition that immunohistochemistry can be used as an alternative to FISH for testing ALK. The previous guideline recommended FISH; at the time, the ALK FISH break-apart assay was the only one supported by prospective studies.
Equally noteworthy is the guideline's endorsement of multiplex-based approaches to testing. Though it's not a requirement, the winds are noticeably shifting in that direction.
"Over the last five years next-generation sequencing has emerged as a bona fide clinical laboratory technique," Dr. Lindeman says. When the first guideline appeared, it was an investigational procedure, and the guideline's authors (which included Drs. Lindeman and Cagle) recommended single-gene assays, done sequentially or in parallel. "But now we're encouraging the use of next-generation sequencing panels, because it's quicker, it spares the sample, and you're able to get—if you design it the right way—all the alterations you need in one test."
On a related note, the guideline writers also recommend a second set of genes that are considered "should-test" biomarkers—some refer to them as "nice-to-haves"—in terms of clinical utility: MET, BRAF, ERBB2 (HER2), KRAS, and RET. While these are not "must-test" biomarkers, they're important in clinical care, Dr. Lindeman says, particularly when EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 are negative and patients are being considered for an investigational agent.
The guideline covers another relatively new area: testing in the setting of acquired resistance. While the EGFR T790M mutation is hardly new knowledge, there was no treatment for it when the previous guideline came out. "There wasn't a reason to test for it other than curiosity," Dr. Lindeman says. Now, however, patients with EGFR mutations who regress after treatment with a targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor will need T790M testing to see if they qualify for third-generation targeted therapies, such as osimertinib.
Dr. Aisner suggests pathologists will be especially interested in the change that brings more clarity to testing cytopathology specimens. In 2013, the guideline urged that testing be done on cell blocks. Since then, Dr. Aisner says, strong evidence has emerged that says other cytopathology preparations, including smears, are just as good, if not better.
"This is a particularly big deal," says Dr. Aisner, noting that the combination of molecular testing and cytopathology specimens has been in evolution for some time, particularly in lung cancer. In the past few years, "It's become clear that it's not only feasible but very adoptable" to use non-cell block samples.
For many patients, the only diagnostic sampling comes from a cytopathology specimen, so this change should boost access to testing. "We're going to see significant patient benefit," Dr. Aisner says.
She notes, furthermore, that sites that already use cytology specimens are mostly academic molecular pathology labs. Since the bulk of specimen processing in molecular testing happens outside of these centers, she says, the hope is that more centers will be encouraged to do testing, now that they no longer have to rely on cell blocks.
Dr. Lindeman says physicians had been asking for this change. The previous guideline didn't forbid using cytology preparations, he says, "but some people interpreted it that way."
At her lab, says Dr. Aisner, she and her colleagues have used non-cell block preparations for years. "They're very effective. Consistent with other publications, I find the quality of the nucleic acids we get from them to be quite high, mostly because they haven't been subjected to formalin fixation and paraffin embedding."
The next step, she suggests, will be to figure out how to incorporate this change earlier in the testing process, with the goal of reducing turnaround times for molecular results. Why not, she asks, have cytopathologists send an additional smear to the molecular lab at the time of an on-site diagnostic procedure? Instead of delaying molecular testing until a cytopathology case is finalized, "this would be an active step." In many cases, she says, cytopathology material is often seen as an afterthought when the biopsy material appears to be of lesser quality. In such situations, absent any reflex procedures, no testing will occur without an oncologist's order. "We might be better with an active process that starts with the cytopathologist."
The guideline breaks new ground by placing genes into three testing categories: must, should, and investigational. Prior to this, genes were viewed as either necessary or investigational.
How big of an adjustment will this be?
"I worry about that confusing people," Dr. Lindeman says. "I worry about payers drawing one conclusion and practitioners drawing another."
For labs, adapting will largely hinge on the use of next-generation sequencing. Labs can do 1) a comprehensive panel with all the genes in the first two categories—EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, MET, ERBB2 (HER2), KRAS, and RET—or 2) targeted testing for those first three, followed by the others as appropriate.
Dr. Aisner says the guideline gives laboratories "a gentle nudge" toward panel-based testing. The benefits of next-generation sequencing are considerable. Not only can labs tackle the "musts" and the "shoulds" simultaneously, but they can do so using what is typically a very small tissue sample. "Seventy percent of lung cancers are going to present at late stage," Dr. Cagle says. "The only sample we're going to get will be a small biopsy or cytology specimen or both."
The guideline's readership is intended to be broad, however, and the authors recognize that not every lab has the same resources. "That was an issue for some of our colleagues in other countries," Dr. Cagle says. "So we backed off from requiring next-gen sequencing, which we really do prefer if that's available." By having must-tests and should-tests, those without NGS can still sequentially test for the critical mutations.
The premise, Dr. Lindeman says, is that advanced lung cancer patients who don't have other options based on EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 status should have access to an investigational therapy. Each has its own marker; individually, each marker is rare. "We wanted to give these patients an opportunity to be selected for these interventions, even though the evidence for them isn't as strong as for the other three alterations."
Beyond that, he says, "Our hope is that the field will progress toward panel sequencing because we think there are compelling reasons regardless," including efficiency, sparing patients biopsies, and quicker turnaround times. NGS also means genes can be added less expensively. "But we just aren't in the position to tell labs they have to move to next-gen sequencing because the evidence to say single-gene testing is inappropriate is just not there." Yet, one can almost see in the thought bubble above his head.
Cost and reimbursement are the wild cards here, and Dr. Lindeman makes no pretense of having a firm answer related to either one. But for labs that already offer a panel, it's reasonable to simply do that up front. For centers that do single genes, start with EGFR, ALK, and ROS1, he says, and then send out for the panel if the "musts" are negative.
KRAS might strike some as an interesting choice for the "should" category, given that no targeted therapy is currently available. It's not recommended as a standalone assay. The role of a positive KRAS here is to exclude the "should" gene testing for patients who are negative by sequential testing for EGFR, ALK, and ROS1, rather than to use the positive KRAS result to direct patients to a clinical trial.
The guideline also allows labs to use immunohistochemistry as a screening test for ROS1. IHC interpretation can be challenging, however; in up to a third of tumors with no underlying rearrangement, the authors note, expression can be seen in a patchy pattern, typically at weak intensity. "There is a false-positive problem with the ROS IHC," Dr. Lindeman says. "So we are recommending that even labs that do immunohistochemistry have a plan in place to confirm with FISH, even if it means sending it out at that point."
As already noted, IHC is recommended as an equivalent alternative to FISH for ALK. Treatment decisions can be based on clearly positive IHC results, the authors say, demonstrated "by strong granular cytoplasmic staining with/without membrane accentuation, or negative."
As labs consider adding the intermediate tier of molecular tests, they'll need to keep other technical challenges in mind as well.
RET FISH is tricky, says Dr. Lindeman, and labs that choose to do this testing will have to tread cautiously when it comes to identification and validation, given the narrow spacing between the split probe signals found in common fusion types. "The split is not as dramatic as what you see with some assays," he says.
In the relapse setting, assays for EGFR T790M need to be able to detect the mutations in as little as five percent of EGFR alleles. Labs that test patients who progress on EGFR inhibitors and plan to use the same method they used for the diagnosis will need to hit that lower threshold, says Dr. Lindeman, "which is about two-and-a-half percent allele fraction, or about fourfold more sensitive than what we're recommending for the initial test. So that's a technical challenge, too."
Circulating plasma cell-free DNA testing offers challenges of its own. Though evidence does not support its use for making a primary diagnosis, the guideline explores its use in identifying EGFR mutations when tissue samples can't be used for molecular testing. Labs can also use this method to identify EGFR T790M mutations in patients with progression or secondary clinical resistance to EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Labs doing cell-free DNA testing, especially those that are less familiar with the process, need to understand that they'll have to process samples quickly, within a few hours. "It's not a sample that can sit around for a day or two," Dr. Lindeman cautions.
Some might find cell-free DNA discussions to be an unexpected presence in the guideline, given the breathless hype that has surrounded the field in general. "But we felt that there was data for cell-free DNA in specific applications in specific circumstances," Dr. Lindeman says.
He makes clear that the guideline does not advocate use of next-gen sequencing panels on cell-free DNA (an approach that's received plenty of attention of late). "We're only recommending that the initial workup of a tissue sample be replaced by cell-free DNA if a tissue sample can't be obtained"—and again, only for EGFR.
The bigger need, Dr. Lindeman continues, relates to patients who relapse, particularly when they do so with multiple lesions. In these cases, plasma would be a more viable option. This is reliable if the results are positive for EGFR single-gene analyte testing using cell-free DNA. But if results are negative, tissue needs to be obtained, since the test has a significant false-negative rate—sensitivity is only about 70 percent.
If cell-free DNA puts in a surprising appearance in this guideline, BRAF might be considered a surprising absence in the must-test category.
"There was a lot of discussion about this," Dr. Lindeman says. Typical for a guideline, timing was everything. In June 2017, the FDA approved a combination of two TKIs to treat BRAF V600E-positive nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer. At the same time, the agency approved a companion diagnostic.
He worries that not requiring BRAF mutation testing in the guideline will look silly, and he anticipates pathologists will be asked by colleagues about this gap. In fact, he says, during the comment period, the authors received numerous questions about the BRAF mutations, all of them from thoracic oncologists.
The guideline addresses the issue directly, calling it "the most controversial of all the recommendations of the working panel." The authors acknowledge that sufficient evidence will emerge and that they expect BRAF testing to become standard in the future. But in the meantime, there's good evidence only from single-arm studies. Says Dr. Lindeman, "It would be great if there were a prospective controlled study that we could compare it to. The response rates looked great. But we didn't have a comparison cohort to compare it to, other than historical."
Guidelines that rely on published evidence and formal, systematic reviews are not a good fit with the news cycle, essentially—Twitter is one source of information, a quarterly publication another. Guidelines cannot be a wheel of perpetual motion. "At a certain point," Dr. Lindeman says, "we just had to say, 'We're going to stop here and publish where we are.' We didn't want to make this a massive opinion exercise." Opinions have their advantages, certainly—speedy deliverance being one of them—"but I don't think that's the right way to do it."
Dr. Cagle is already anticipating the next wave of questions. "I expect we'll hear about it from the public," he says with a laugh. He notes, however, that the matter becomes moot for labs that do NGS.
"We acknowledged there's a large number of other biomarkers that are under investigation," Dr. Cagle continues. "Some of these will probably pan out, and maybe some will not. We just don't know at this time, and there's not enough evidence to make any recommendation."
The expanded use of immunotherapies to treat advanced NSCLC also created dilemmas for the authors. As they note, patients with high levels of PD-L1 expression and the absence of sensitizing EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangements can be treated by immunomodulatory therapies as a first-line treatment. So why not recommend PD-L1 testing?
As it turns out, PD-L1 follows the BRAF trail to some extent, though the off-roading starts sooner.
For starters, the guideline is built around genomics, and PD-L1 is essentially an immunohistochemistry matter, albeit with genomic elements. "We had many philosophical discussions about the meaning of molecular alterations," Dr. Lindeman recalls.
As the group dug in deeper, says Dr. Aisner, "I was surprised by how complicated the issues were."
In the end, the group realized they could make no useful recommendation. Dr. Lindeman reports that "the literature was all over the place" with respect to markers, antibodies, and DNA methods. A separate guideline devoted to PD-L1 will address the topic in depth.
Dr. Lindeman says researchers are only starting to tell the PD-L1 story. "It's going to be more complex than simply PD-1 and PD-L1 interaction," he predicts, and will include inhibitors to other signaling molecules involved in immunologic tolerance, as well as figuring out the best mechanism to predict response to them. "Is it really going to be immunohistochemical, or will there be a DNA- or RNA-based solution that works better in the end?" he asks. What's most clear right now, he adds, is that the field will not lie dormant.
It's also a safe bet that when the PD-L1 guideline is written, it, too, will have a tangled relationship with promising research, and, like a Liz Taylor marriage, one guideline will not suffice.
Dr. Cagle explains it this way: "We want as many patients as possible to have the chance at therapy. Having said that, we don't want to endorse something that seems promising at the present time, but a year from now turns out not to be."
The ROS1 story is a good example. When the 2013 guideline was written, it was already well known that patients with a ROS1 mutation might respond to crizotinib (which was already approved for patients with ALK mutations). Oncologists were ordering ROS1 testing when EGFR and ALK results were negative, and using the drug off-label when ROS1 results were positive. The evidence was based on case reports and small studies, however, and the guideline did not recommend routine ROS1 testing. The evidence is now sufficient to support a recommendation in the new guideline, a path Dr. Cagle suspects other mutations will follow in future revisions.
"We have to remember that practice is both ahead of the evidence, but also behind it," he says. "Some laboratories do not have next-gen sequencing, which makes all of this easier. So the guideline is ahead of the curve and behind the curve. What we're shooting for is the best evidence."
But the definition of "best evidence" is not as stable as it once was. As the guideline notes, the concepts of precision oncology, with its focus on the individual patient, must be balanced with reliance on large interventional studies.
In the past, says Dr. Cagle, "We've been very strict as to how we grade evidence in the literature. But we don't want to prevent anyone from getting their chance to get treated. And we may have more and more of these situations where a mutation is rare enough that you're only going to have individual patients for small series receiving the drug."
"There aren't rules for this. How much evidence do you need before you say there's enough?" Dr. Lindeman asks. "There's not a formula you can plug in." When targets are applied to one or two percent of lung cancer patients, for example, there simply aren't that many people. "A study of 50 folks might be as much as you're going to get. Is that compelling enough to make an international practice guideline? The field has to face this."
As the evidence for large-scale trials is less likely to be accumulated, there will be many alterations that are supported by small studies. "But when they work, they work," Dr. Lindeman says. "And for patients who have these alterations, they deserve the treatment that will be effective." To make that happen, while avoiding useless treatment, "The only way to sort that out is to test for them."
And, eventually, to write another guideline.

Social Services Northern Ireland Fermanagh Help Message Board
GARDAI were this week hunting for one of Britain's most wanted paedophiles after reports that he was spotted at various locations in the county.
Alexander Colin Dalgleish is among five men who have disappeared after failing to register with police or probation officers. Failing to notify authorities of their whereabouts is an arrestable offence in Britain punishable by up to five years in prison.
Dalgleish, known in Donegal as 'Paul Williams' is aged 30-35, known as a DJ called Hi Energy and about 5ft 6in tall. He was also known in the Bundoran and Donegal Town areas as a DJ called 'Small Paul'. There are also unconfirmed reports that he was also seen in the Letterkenny area.
Speaking to the Donegal News one senior garda source said they had reports of the man being in the south Donegal area.
"We've circulated his details to all garda stations. We would be very worried that he would get involved in similiar crimes in our jurisdiction," the garda source said.
It is believed he disappeared about two months ago after the newly formed Child Exploitation and On-Line Protection Centre (CEOP) in Britain was preparing an Internet campaign to track down paedophiles who have absconded.
The Crimestoppers Most Wanted website now features absconded paedophiles. The former entertainments manager at a North Wales caravan site was jailed for nine months in 2001 for having sex with one 13-year-old girl and indecently assaulting another. He and four others are wanted in Britain for failing to register their whereabouts under Britain's Sexual Offenders Act 2003. Sex offenders who travel here do not have to register with the Irish authorities.
Fears for the safety of children were heightened after two young girls, aged four and six, were sexually assaulted in a Swords, Co Dublin housing estate at the weekend. Gardai last night continued their hunt for the attacker.
Details of the hidden past of convicted paedophile Alexander Colin Dalgleish emerged when his picture and name were splashed across the British media in reports about the launch of a new international child protection website.
Children Minister Brian Lenihan denied Ireland has become a "soft touch" for sex offenders from other jurisdictions.
A spokesperson said there is a "very substantial flow" of information between the gardai and police forces in the North and UK. It is believed that Dalgleish arrived in Donegal about two years ago. He worked at the Railway Heritage Centre, a railway museum in Donegal Town.
Ann Temple worked alongside him and said while she was shocked to learn of his past she was not surprised.
"I always had my suspicions about him. He used to phone and send despicable messages late at night but would hide his own number. He was always hassling young girls and in the end we had to let him go. That was last year but he stayed around the town until two months ago," she said.

Writing and reading
Today I will show you how I write My dad is bad but sometimes nice! Now first of all my dad is nice and please don't make fun of my hand writing! You might notice that my b's and d's are not always correct!
That is how I write and now to talk a little about reading.
Many may wonder what children with APD prefer to read. Well now you are about to find out!
I enjoy reading comics a lot because of the simple language and illustrations! Big Nate and Diary of a wimpy kid are very good books! But now I have started reading books on my level like Percy Jackson The lighting thief and Harry potter. These books are very interesting and if you have dyslexia, or ADD(ADHD) you can relate to two the characters in the book. Many kids might think it is to hard to read these books but it is very simple when you get interested. Now parents you might eventually notice you child reading even slow then how the do usually that means they literally cant read anymore. If you are wondering how I know this, well I got stuck on book six in harry potter now I listen to it on audio reader.
I think it would be nice if some people can write books you recommend and please speak up if you have any questions don't be shy!
Do you want to know about how your child feels if they have Auditory Processing Disorder, well if yes then this is the blog for you!
