Comprehensive genomic sequencing of appendiceal cancer tumors to identify different genomic alterations by subtype, novel treatment opportunities, and improved outcomes.

599 Background: Appendiceal cancers are rare and consist of mucinous (M), adenocarcinoma (A), goblet cell carcinoma (GCC), pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), and several even rarer histologies. Current treatment involves surgical resection or debulking; no standard exists for adjuvant chemotherapy or metastatic disease treatment.
