The use of a clinically focused and readily available targeted molecular sequencing panel identified actionable mutations at a comparable rate to the large-scale, less readily available sequencing panels utilized in other studies. Half of our patients who received targeted therapy achieved a complete response or clinical benefit from therapy. Although targeted therapy has a role in pediatric cancer treatment, many newer drugs require further research on their safety and efficacy.
