• Abstract As sequencing of tumor samples is entering clinical practice, there is an urgent need for new tools that facilitate the interpretation of sequence data so that they can effectively inform treatment decisions. To this end, we are evolving the cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics into a clinical decision support tool. The cBioPortal is a web-based visualization and analysis engine that makes complex cancer genomics data accessible to a wide range of cancer researchers and clinicians. To transition the cBioPortal towards use in clinical practice, we have recently developed the following new functions: 1. Filtering of oncogenic mutations: By using information about the known or likely oncogenic effects of specific mutations, the portal can now filter out passenger events and highlight known and potentially druggable drivers. 2. Clinical timelines: Compact and interactive visualization of a patient's clinical and treatment history 3. Image support: Interactive visualization of histology images 4. Support for multiple tumor samples from a single patient: The portal can display genomic differences and similarities of different samples (e.g. multiple sites of the same tumor, recurrence, metastasis, post-treatment) in the context of a patient's treatment history. 5. Tumor clonality: Assessment of a tumor's purity and clonality / heterogeneity 6. Targeted treatment suggestions: The portal matches drugs to drug targets that are altered in the patient's tumor. 7. Clinical trial matching: Based on a patient's clinical history and the genomic alterations found in the tumor, the cBioPortal will identify relevant clinical trials. By making complex genomic data easily interpretable and linking it to information about drugs and clinical trials, the system has the potential to facilitate the proper use of genomic data in clinical decision making. We are constantly improving the software and will initially focus most strongly on the matching of patients to clinical trials. We are sharing the software with other hospitals, where it can be used by oncologists and tumor boards. Citation Format: JianJiong Gao, B. Arman Aksoy, Benjamin Gross, Gideon Dresdner, Yichao Sun, S.
