Circulating Tumor DNA Mutation Profiling by Targeted Next Generation Sequencing Provides Guidance for Personalized Treatments in Multiple Cancer Types

Abstract: Cancer is a disease of complex genetic alterations, and comprehensive genetic diagnosis is beneficial to match each patient to appropriate therapy. However, acquisition of representative tumor samples is invasive and sometimes impossible. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a promising tool to use as a non-invasive biomarker for cancer mutation profiling. Here we implemented targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) with a customized gene panel of 382 cancer-relevant genes on 605 ctDNA samples in multiple cancer … Show more

“…These results mirror previous findings that ctDNA was frequently undetectable in the blood of patients with cancers that originate from or metastasize to the central nervous system (Bettegowda et al ., , De Mattos‐Arruda et al ., ; Momtaz et al ., ). While efforts are underway by several groups to improve the performance characteristics of various ctDNA detection methods, there may be some patients for whom ctDNA might not be a suitable biomarker based on tumor burden, location, or biology (Aravanis et al ., ; Bettegowda et al ., , Shu et al ., ). These patients require the continued use of surveillance imaging to assess disease status.…”

“…In contrast, detection of copy number variation in peripheral blood has a lower sensitivity (ctDNA burden >1–5%), as ctDNA is only indirectly quantified by assessing the amplified gene relative to a reference gene . Additionally, detection depends substantially on the rate of amplification, which is variable in DDLS and WDLS.…”

“…Sequencing libraries were prepared using the KAPA Hyper Prep kit (KAPA Biosystems Inc., Wilmington, MA, USA) with recommended standard protocol. Hybridization capture was carried out following the methods as previously described (2). The target-enriched library was then sequenced on HiSeq4000 NGS platforms (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).…”
