摘要
Precision oncology requires additional predictive biomarkers for targeted therapy selection. Variant allele frequency (VAF), measuring the proportion of variant alleles within a genomic locus, provides insights into tumor clonality in somatic genomic testing, yielding a strong rationale for targeting dominant cancer cell populations. The prognostic and predictive roles of VAF have been evaluated across different studies. Yet, the absence of validated VAF thresholds and a lack of standardization between sequencing assays currently hampers its clinical utility. Therefore, analytical and clinical validation must be further examined. This Review summarizes the evidence regarding the use of VAF as a predictive biomarker and discusses challenges and opportunities for its clinical implementation as a decision-making tool for targeted therapy selection.
