question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government which cancers have been recommended by NICE for molecular testing; and of those cancers, for which biomarkers in relation to (1) prognostic tests, and (2) theranostic or treatment predictive tests.
tabling member printed	Lord Freyberg
uin	HL11448
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends molecular testing for the following cancers:</p><p>- Acute myeloid leukaemia;</p><p>- Bladder;</p><p>- Brain;</p><p>- Breast;</p><p>- Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia;</p><p>- Chronic myeloid leukaemia;</p><p>- Colorectal;</p><p>- Non-small-cell lung cancer;</p><p>- Melanoma;</p><p>- Oesophago-gastric;</p><p>- Ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal;</p><p>- Pancreatic;</p><p>- Prostate;</p><p>- Upper aerodigestive tract; and</p><p>- Unknown primary origin.</p><p>NICE refers to the following companion diagnostic biomarkers in its guidance:</p><p>- c-Kit (CD117);</p><p>- HER2;</p><p>- KRAS;</p><p>- EGFR-TK;</p><p>- Philadelphia chromosome;</p><p>- BRAF V600;</p><p>- ALK;</p><p>- BRCA;</p><p>- p53;</p><p>- PD-L1;</p><p>- RAS;</p><p>- BCR-ABL1;</p><p>- FLT3;</p><p>- ROS1;</p><p>- BRCA1 (germline); and</p><p>- Somatostatin receptor-positive.</p><p> </p><p>Tests that are primarily used for diagnosis, monitoring or screening often provide prognostic information. Consequently, there are a large number of biomarkers, many of which are used in standard testing practice and so are not specifically referred to in NICE guidance. Multiple and combinations of biomarkers are often used to provide prognostic information and companies developing tests often create their own combinations.</p><p>As many tests look for multiple biomarkers for a single purpose and many tests in standard practice provide prognostic information, NICE is unable to provide categorical information on prognostic tests.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 27/11/2018 15:29:48 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made towards the Cancer Task Force’s recommendation for a national molecular pathology service; and when they anticipate to implement this fully in relation to adult cancer diagnosis and care.
tabling member printed	Lord Freyberg
uin	HL11452
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>In 2015, the Independent Cancer Taskforce Report highlighted limited access to molecular diagnostics across the National Health Service and limited use of technology to systematically identify patients with cancer and suggested that this has resulted in the NHS falling behind other countries in the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective cancer care.</p><p>To address this, building on the world leading 100,000 Genomes Project and the existing infrastructure, NHS England announced in October 2018 that over the next 18 months work to mobilise the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS) would get underway. The GMS will bring together existing clinical genetics services and the new genomic laboratory infrastructure to provide seamless service delivery for patients with rare and inherited disease and cancer.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 27/11/2018 15:48:42 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
