e18592 Background: There is an increasing trend of integrating molecular profiling to devise treatment plans for solid malignancies. Tumor testing for specific clonal abnormalities is being supplanted by broad multigene panel testing from blood specimen, aptly labelled liquid biopsy. Due to varying utility across malignancies in differing contexts and issues of access and affordability, their adoption is not uniform. We attempt to characterize the pattern of utilization across tumor types and financial coverage schemes in an academic cancer institute in southeastern United States. Methods: All blood based next generation testing samples ordered by providers affiliated to Georgia Cancer center between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2021, via Guardant platform for all solid tumors was included in this analysis. Guardant360 and Guardant360CDx assays tested for upto 83 cancer related genes in circulating cell-free DNA in patients of solid tumors. Primary cancer diagnosis, insurance information and turnaround time was obtained from Guardant. Results: 296 tests were sent from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2021. The total number of tests performed in year 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were 1, 3, 28, 99 and 165 respectively. Billing information was available for all cases, clinical information was available for 262 cases. Average turnaround time was 8.5 days overall. 221 Guardant360 was sent with average turnaround time of 10 days. 41 Guardant360CDx was sent with average turnaround time of 7 days. The frequency of malignancies in the order of dimensioning frequency were lung 50.7%, prostate 12.1%, breast 6.9%, kidney 3.8% and colorectal 3.4%. The remaining 22.1% comprised of pancreatic, melanoma, glioblastoma, and bladder malignancies. The test was covered by private insurance/employee health plan in 53.4% (158/296), Medicare in 31.1% (92/296) and Medicaid in 10.5% (31/296) (table). 4.7% (14/296) qualified for free of charge testing (financial indigent) and 0.3% (1/296) were self-pay (table). Conclusions: There is an increase in the utilization of liquid biopsy to perform comprehensive genomic analysis. The distribution of tumor types is not entirely explained by the incidence and availability of targeted therapies for each type. Private insurers accounted for most of the tests being done. The disparities in utilization of this platform across different tumor types and payment models deserve further exploration. T[Table: see text]
