RESUMO
ABSTRACT: It remains elusive how driver mutations, including those detected in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), affect prognosis in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Here, we performed targeted-capture sequencing using bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) and ctDNA of 261 RRMM cases uniformly treated with ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in a multicenter, prospective, observational study. We detected 24 and 47 recurrently mutated genes in BMPC and ctDNA, respectively. In addition to clonal hematopoiesis-associated mutations, varying proportion of driver mutations, particularly TP53 mutations (59.2% of mutated cases), were present in only ctDNA, suggesting their subclonal origin. In univariable analyses, ctDNA mutations of KRAS, TP53, DIS3, BRAF, NRAS, and ATM were associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS). BMPC mutations of TP53 and KRAS were associated with inferior PFS, whereas KRAS mutations were prognostically relevant only when detected in both BMPC and ctDNA. A total number of ctDNA mutations in the 6 relevant genes was a strong prognostic predictor (2-year PFS rates: 57.3%, 22.7%, and 0% for 0, 1, and ≥2 mutations, respectively) and independent of clinical factors and plasma DNA concentration. Using the number of ctDNA mutations, plasma DNA concentration, and clinical factors, we developed a prognostic index, classifying patients into 3 categories with 2-year PFS rates of 57.9%, 28.6%, and 0%. Serial analysis of ctDNA mutations in 94 cases revealed that TP53 and KRAS mutations frequently emerge after therapy. Thus, we clarify the genetic characteristics and clonal architecture of ctDNA mutations and demonstrate their superiority over BMPC mutations for prognostic prediction in RRMM. This study is a part of the C16042 study, which is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03433001.

Real-world studies permit inclusion of a more diverse patient population and provide more information on the effectiveness of treatments used in routine clinical practice. This prospective, multicenter, observational study investigated the effectiveness and safety of ixazomib plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (IRd) in 295 patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in routine clinical practice in Japan. Patients had a median age of 74 years, 80.0% were aged ≥ 65 years, 42.0% had received ≥ 3 lines of prior treatment, and 28.5% were "frail" according to the International Myeloma Working Group frailty score. After a median follow-up of 25.0 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 15.3 (95% CI 12.4-19.5) months, while median overall survival was not reached. The overall response rate was 53.9%, and 31.5% of patients had a very good partial response or better. In the subgroup analysis, median PFS was better in patients with 1 versus 2 or ≥ 3 lines of prior treatment (29.0 vs 19.2 or 6.9 months) and paraprotein versus clinical relapse (16.0 vs 7.9 months), but median PFS was not notably affected by frailty score or age group. Dose adjustment was more frequent among patients aged > 75 years, especially early after IRd treatment initiation. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade occurred in 84.4% of patients and 24.7% of patients discontinued treatment due to TEAEs; no new safety concerns were found. These findings suggest that oral IRd triplet regimen is an effective and tolerable treatment option for RRMM patients in real-world settings outside of clinical trials.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03433001; Date of registration: 14 February 2018.

BACKGROUND: Based on molecular characteristics, deficient DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) solid tumors are largely divided into three categories: somatically MLH1-hypermethylated tumors, Lynch syndrome (LS)-associated tumors, and Lynch-like syndrome (LLS)-associated tumors. The incidence of each of these conditions and the corresponding pathogenic genes related to LLS remain elusive. METHODS: We identified dMMR tumors in 3609 tumors from 9 different solid organs, including colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, small-bowel cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, upper urinary tract cancer, urinary bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and sebaceous tumor, and comprehensively summarized the characterization of dMMR tumors. Characterization of dMMR tumors were performed as loss of at least one of MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2), by immunohistochemistry, followed by MLH1 promotor methylation analysis and genetic testing for MMR genes where appropriate. Somatic variant analysis of MMR genes and whole exome sequencing (WES) were performed in patients with LLS. RESULTS: In total, the incidence of dMMR tumors was 5.9% (24/3609). The incidence of dMMR tumors and the proportion of the three categorized dMMR tumors varied considerably with different tumor types. One to three likely pathogenic/pathogenic somatic MMR gene variants were detected in 15 out of the 16 available LLS tumors. One patient each from 12 patients who gave consent to WES demonstrated non-MMR germline variants affect function (POLQ or BRCA1). CONCLUSIONS: Our data regarding the LS to LLS ratio would be useful for genetic counseling in patients who are suspected to have LS, though the genetic backgrounds for the pathogenesis of LLS need further investigation.

BACKGROUND: Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) experience psychological and social challenges concerning future events such as marriage and childbirth alongside the medical risks of colorectal cancer (CRC) and FAP-related disease. We retrospectively investigated the rate of marriage and childbirth postoperatively in Japanese patients with FAP. METHODS: We included 161 patients who had colorectal surgery and reported marital status from a national survey of 35 Japanese institutions. Participants were classified according to marital status: married before colectomy (80 patients), married after colectomy (13 patients), and unmarried (68 patients). RESULTS: The marriage rate for all 161 patients (57.8%, standardized ratio 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.76-1.14) was comparable to that in the general Japanese population (57.1%). The marriage rate among the 81 patients who were unmarried before colectomy was low (16.0%); however, the standardized marital ratio (0.75, 95% CI 0.34-1.15) was not significantly lower than that of the general population. In multivariable logistic regression, younger age (born after 1980, odds ratio [OR] 0.12, p < 0.001) and genetic testing (OR 4.06, p = 0.001) were associated with postoperative marriage. Seventy-one percent of patients with FAP who married after colectomy became pregnant and achieved delivery. CONCLUSIONS: The marriage rate of patients with FAP was comparable to that of the general population whereas the rate after colectomy was low among patients with FAP. However, in patients with FAP, colorectal surgery itself may not lead to negative consequences in terms of fecundity.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The precise diagnosis and medical management of patients with suspected familial adenomatous polyposis should be based on genetic testing, which may not always be available. Therefore, establishing a new model for predicting the likelihood of a germline pathogenic variant (GPV) of APC based on its clinical manifestations could prove to be useful in clinical practice. METHODS: The presence of GPVs of APC gene was investigated in 162 patients with adenomatous polyposis (≥ 10 polyps) using a multigene panel or single-gene testing. To generate a predictive model for GPV of the APC gene, a logistic regression analysis was performed using the clinicopathological variables available at the time of the diagnosis of adenomatous polyposis. RESULTS: Ninety (55.6%) patients had GPV of the APC gene. According to a multivariate logistic regression analysis, age < 40 years, polyps ≥ 100, fundic gland polyposis, and a family history of colorectal polyposis were found to be independent predictors of the GPV of APC and were used to establish a formula for predicting the GPV of APC using the four predictors. The prediction model had an area under the curve of 0.91 (0.86-0.96) according to a receiver operating characteristic analysis. CONCLUSION: The model for predicting the GPV of APC will help patients with adenomatous polyposis and physicians make decisions about genetic testing.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the risk of metachronous colorectal cancer (CRC) after resection of index (first) rectal cancer in patients with Lynch syndrome (LS). METHODS: Clinicopathological data of patients with genetically proven LS were retrospectively analyzed in this multicenter Japanese study. The cumulative incidence of metachronous CRC and the overall survival were compared between patients with index rectal cancer (rectal group) and those with index colon cancer (colon group). RESULTS: The median age at index CRC surgery was lower in the rectal group than in the colon group (37 vs. 46 years old, P = 0.01). The cumulative 5-, 10-, and 20-year incidences of metachronous CRC were 3.5%, 13.9%, and 21.1%, respectively, in the rectal cancer group and 14.9%, 22.0%, and 57.9%, respectively, in the colon cancer group (P = 0.02). The overall survival curves were not significantly different between two groups (P = 0.23). CONCLUSION: This is the first report from an East Asian country to report the risk of metachronous CRC after resection of index rectal cancer in patients with LS. Despite this study having several limitations, we cannot recommend extended resection, such as total proctocolectomy, for index rectal cancer as a standard surgical treatment in patients with LS.
RESUMO
Comprehensive cancer genome profiling (CGP) has been nationally reimbursed in Japan since June 2019. Less than 10% of the patients have been reported to undergo recommended treatment. Todai OncoPanel (TOP) is a dual DNA-RNA panel as well as a paired tumor-normal matched test. Two hundred patients underwent TOP as part of Advanced Medical Care B with approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare between September 2018 and December 2019. Tests were carried out in patients with cancers without standard treatment or when patients had already undergone standard treatment. Data from DNA and RNA panels were analyzed in 198 and 191 patients, respectively. The percentage of patients who were given therapeutic or diagnostic recommendations was 61% (120/198). One hundred and four samples (53%) harbored gene alterations that were detected with the DNA panel and had potential treatment implications, and 14 samples (7%) had a high tumor mutational burden. Twenty-two samples (11.1%) harbored 30 fusion transcripts or MET exon 14 skipping that were detected by the RNA panel. Of those 30 transcripts, 6 had treatment implications and 4 had diagnostic implications. Thirteen patients (7%) were found to have pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variants and genetic counseling was recommended. Overall, 12 patients (6%) received recommended treatment. In summary, patients benefited from both TOP DNA and RNA panels while following the same indication as the approved CGP tests. (UMIN000033647).

Microsatellites are repeats of 1- to 6-bp units, and approximately 10 million microsatellites have been identified across the human genome. Microsatellites are vulnerable to DNA mismatch errors and have thus been used to detect cancers with mismatch repair deficiency. To reveal the mutational landscape of microsatellite repeat regions at the genome level, we analyzed approximately 20.1 billion microsatellites in 2717 whole genomes of pan-cancer samples across 21 tissue types. First, we developed a new insertion and deletion caller (MIMcall) that takes into consideration the error patterns of different types of microsatellites. Among the 2717 pan-cancer samples, our analysis identified 31 samples, including colorectal, uterus, and stomach cancers, with a higher proportion of mutated microsatellite (≥0.03), which we defined as microsatellite instability (MSI) cancers of genome-wide level. Next, we found 20 highly mutated microsatellites that can be used to detect MSI cancers with high sensitivity. Third, we found that replication timing and DNA shape were significantly associated with mutation rates of microsatellites. Last, analysis of mutations in mismatch repair genes showed that somatic SNVs and short indels had larger functional impacts than germline mutations and structural variations. Our analysis provides a comprehensive picture of mutations in the microsatellite regions and reveals possible causes of mutations, as well as provides a useful marker set for MSI detection.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Oncogenic mutations in BRAF genes are found in approximately 5-10% of colorectal cancers. The majority of BRAF mutations are located within exons 11-15 of the catalytic kinase domains, with BRAF V600E accounting for more than 80% of the observed BRAF mutations. Sensitivity to BRAF- and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors varies depending on BRAF mutations and tumor cell types. Previously, we newly identified, BRAF L525R-mutation, in the activation segment of the kinase in colorectal cancer patient. Here, we characterized the function of the BRAF L525R mutation. METHODS: HEK293 cells harboring a BRAF mutation (V600E or L525R) were first characterized and then treated with cetuximab, dabrafenib, and selumetinib. Cell viability was measured using WST-1 assay and the expression of proteins involved in the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathways was evaluated using western blot analysis. RESULTS: The MEK inhibitor selumetinib effectively inhibited cell proliferation and ERK phosphorylation in BRAF L525R cells but not in BRAF V600E cells. Further studies revealed that AKT phosphorylation was reduced by selumetinib in BRAF L525R cells but not in BRAF V600E cells or selumetinib-resistant BRAF L525R cells. Moreover, the AKT inhibitor overcame the selumetinib resistance. CONCLUSIONS: We established a model system harboring BRAF L525R using HEK293 cells. BRAF L525R constitutively activated ERK. AKT phosphorylation caused sensitivity and resistance to selumetinib. Our results suggest that a comprehensive network analysis may provide insights to identify effective therapies.

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the risk of metachronous colorectal cancer (mCRC) and explored the optimal extent of colectomy in patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) and first colon cancer (fCC) in Japan, where the extent of colectomy for colon cancer (CC) is shorter than that in Western countries. METHODS: The clinicopathologic and survival data of patients with LS who developed CC were collected from a nationwide database and analyzed retrospectively. The cumulative incidence of mCRC after actual segmental colectomy was compared with that of mCRC when more extensive colectomy was assumed. RESULTS: There were 142 eligible patients (65 female). The median age at fCC surgery was 46.5 (range: 14-80) years. The cumulative incidence of 5-, 10-, and 20-year mCRC rate was 13.4%, 20.8%, and 53.6%, respectively. The incidence was higher in the left-sided group (splenic flexure to rectosigmoid colon, n = 54) than in the right-sided group (cecum to transvers colon, n = 88) (66.3% vs. 45.3% in 20 years, P < 0.01). Assuming that all patients would have undergone hemicolectomy or total colectomy, the estimated mCRC risk was 41.5% and 9.4% (P < 0.01, vs. actual procedures), respectively. The 20-year overall survival rate of all the patients was 83.3% without difference by fCC sidedness (P = 0.38). CONCLUSIONS: To reduce the incidence of mCRC, patients with genetically diagnosed LS and fCC, preferentially located in the left-sided colon, may need to undergo more extended colectomy than that usually performed in Japan. However, such extended colectomy should be counterbalanced with favorable overall survival and actual risk of mCRC development.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal polyp burden is crucial for the management of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). However, accurate evaluation of polyp burden is difficult to standardize. This study aimed to examine the possible utility of genotype-oriented management of colorectal neoplasms in patients with FAP. METHODS: Clinicopathological data from genetically proven patients with FAP was analyzed using the database of a nationwide retrospective Japanese multicenter study. The cumulative incidence of CRC was evaluated between different genotype groups. Genotype-1 were defined as germline variants on attenuated FAP-associated regions (codons 1-177, alternative splice site of exon 10 (codon 312), 1581-2843) and Genotype-2 as the other variants. Weibull and Joinpoint analyses were performed to determine the annual percentage changes in CRC risk. RESULTS: Overall, 69 men and 102 women were included. Forty-eight patients underwent colorectal resection for the first CRC, and five patients underwent resection for first cancer in the remnant anorectal segment after prophylactic surgery. The 70-year cumulative incidence of CRC in all patients was 59.3%. Patients with Genotype-1 (n = 23) demonstrated a lower risk of CRC stages II-IV than those with Genotype-2 (n = 148, P = 0.04). The risk of stage II-IV CRC was estimated to increase markedly at the age of 49 years in the Genotype-1 patients and 34 years in the Genotype-2 patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Different interventional strategies based on genotypes may be proposed for the clinical management of patients with FAP. This policy needs to be validated in further prospective studies focusing on long-term endoscopic intervention and optimal age at prophylactic (procto)colectomy.

The development of novel antitumor agents and accompanying biomarkers has improved survival across several tumor types. Previously, we developed recommendations for tumor-agnostic treatments in patients with solid tumors with DNA mismatch repair deficient or neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase fusions. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown efficacy in patient with tumor mutation burden-high (TMB-H) solid tumors and have been established as a third tumor-agnostic agent, making it necessary to develop the guideline prioritized for these patients. Clinical questions regarding medical care were formulated for patients with TMB-H advanced solid tumors. Relevant publications were searched by PubMed and Cochrane Database. Critical publications and conference reports were added manually. Systematic reviews were performed for each clinical question for the purpose of developing clinical recommendations. The committee members identified by Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO), Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO), and Japanese society of pediatric hematology/oncology (JSPHO) voted to determine the level of each recommendation considering the strength of evidence, expected risks and benefits to patients, and other related factors. Thereafter, a peer review by experts nominated from JSCO, JSMO, and JSPHO, and the public comments among all societies' members was done. The current guideline describes three clinical questions and seven recommendations for whom, when, and how TMB should be tested, and what is recommended for patients with TMB-H advanced solid tumors. In this guideline, the committee proposed seven recommendations for performing TMB testing properly to select patients who are likely to benefit from immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Clinical trials have reported the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) advanced solid tumors. The accumulated evidence of tumor agnostic agent has been made since PD-1 inhibitor was approved and used in clinical practice. Therefore, we have revised the guideline "Japan Society of Clinical Oncology provisional clinical opinion for the diagnosis and use of immunotherapy in patients with deficient DNA mismatch repair tumors, cooperated by Japanese Society of Medical Oncology, First Edition". METHODS: Clinical questions regarding medical care were formulated for patients with dMMR advanced solid tumors. Relevant publications were searched by PubMed and Cochrane Database. Critical publications and conference reports were added manually. Systematic reviews were performed for each clinical question for the purpose of developing clinical recommendations. The committee members identified by Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO), Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO), and Japanese society of pediatric hematology/oncology (JSPHO) voted to determine the level of each recommendation considering the strength of evidence, expected risks and benefits to patients, and other related factors. Thereafter, a peer review by experts nominated from JSCO, JSMO, and JSPHO and the public comments among all societies' members were done. RESULTS: The current guideline describes two clinical questions and eight recommendations for whom, when, and how MMR status should be tested. CONCLUSION: In this guideline, the committee proposed eight recommendations for performing MMR testing properly to select patients who are likely to benefit from immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Clinical trials have reported the efficacy of tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors against neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) fusion gene-positive advanced solid tumors. The accumulated evidence of tumor-agnostic agent has made since TRK inhibitors were approved and used in clinical practice. Therefore, we have revised the 'Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO)/Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO)-led clinical recommendations on the diagnosis and use of tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitors in adult and pediatric patients with neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase fusion-positive advanced solid tumors, cooperated by the Japanese Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (JSPHO)'. METHODS: Clinical questions regarding medical care were formulated for patients with NTRK fusion-positive advanced solid tumors. Relevant publications were searched by PubMed and Cochrane Database. Critical publications and conference reports were added manually. Systematic reviews were performed for each clinical question for the purpose of developing clinical recommendations. The committee members identified by JSCO, JSMO, and JSPHO voted to determine the level of each recommendation considering the strength of evidence, expected risks and benefits to patients, and other related factors. Thereafter, a peer review by experts nominated from JSCO, JSMO, and JSPHO, and the public comments among all societies' members was done. RESULTS: The current guideline describes 3 clinical questions and 14 recommendations for whom, when, and how NTRK fusion should be tested, and what is recommended for patients with NTRK fusion-positive advanced solid tumors. CONCLUSION: The committee proposed 14 recommendations for performing NTRK testing properly to select patients who are likely to benefit from TRK inhibitors.

Importance: For patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer, adding anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) monoclonal antibodies to first-line doublet chemotherapy is routine, but the optimal targeted therapy has not been defined. Objective: To evaluate the effect of adding panitumumab (an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody) vs bevacizumab (an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody) to standard first-line chemotherapy for treatment of RAS wild-type, left-sided, metastatic colorectal cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants: Randomized, open-label, phase 3 clinical trial at 197 sites in Japan in May 2015-January 2022 among 823 patients with chemotherapy-naive RAS wild-type, unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (final follow-up, January 14, 2022). Interventions: Panitumumab (n = 411) or bevacizumab (n = 412) plus modified fluorouracil, l-leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) every 14 days. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary end point, overall survival, was tested first in participants with left-sided tumors, then in the overall population. Secondary end points were progression-free survival, response rate, duration of response, and curative (defined as R0 status) resection rate. Results: In the as-treated population (n = 802; median age, 66 years; 282 [35.2%] women), 604 (75.3%) had left-sided tumors. Median follow-up was 61 months. Median overall survival was 37.9 months with panitumumab vs 34.3 months with bevacizumab in participants with left-sided tumors (hazard ratio [HR] for death, 0.82; 95.798% CI, 0.68-0.99; P = .03) and 36.2 vs 31.3 months, respectively, in the overall population (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.72-0.98; P = .03). Median progression-free survival for panitumumab vs bevacizumab was 13.1 vs 11.9 months, respectively, for those with left-sided tumors (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.83-1.20) and 12.2 vs 11.4 months overall (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.90-1.24). Response rates with panitumumab vs bevacizumab were 80.2% vs 68.6%, respectively, for left-sided tumors (difference, 11.2%; 95% CI, 4.4%-17.9%) and 74.9% vs 67.3% overall (difference, 7.7%; 95% CI, 1.5%-13.8%). Median duration of response with panitumumab vs bevacizumab was 13.1 vs 11.2 months for left-sided tumors (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.70-1.10) and 11.9 vs 10.7 months overall (HR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.74-1.06). Curative resection rates with panitumumab vs bevacizumab were 18.3% vs 11.6% for left-sided tumors; (difference, 6.6%; 95% CI, 1.0%-12.3%) and 16.5% vs 10.9% overall (difference, 5.6%; 95% CI, 1.0%-10.3%). Common treatment-emergent adverse events were acneiform rash (panitumumab: 74.8%; bevacizumab: 3.2%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (panitumumab: 70.8%; bevacizumab: 73.7%), and stomatitis (panitumumab: 61.6%; bevacizumab: 40.5%). Conclusions and Relevance: Among patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer, adding panitumumab, compared with bevacizumab, to standard first-line chemotherapy significantly improved overall survival in those with left-sided tumors and in the overall population.

A 47-year-old woman diagnosed with transverse colon cancer with liver, peritoneal, and lymph node metastases was admitted. Modified FOLFOX6(mFOLFOX6)regimen was given as a first line chemotherapy and was followed by pembrolizumab after 1 cycle of the mFOLFOX6, because microsatellite instability(MSI)test of the tumor showed high-frequency MSI. Because of the transverse colon obstruction after 2 cycles of pembrolizumab, she underwent right hemicolectomy. Histological examination of the resected specimen revealed no residual tumor cells in the primary tumor and reginal lymph nodes. Immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair proteins(IHC-MMR)showed loss of MSH2 and MSH6 expression. Genetic test identified a MSH2 pathogenic variant leading to the diagnosis of Lynch syndrome.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. A small proportion of CRCs can be attributed to recognizable hereditary germline variants of known CRC susceptibility genes. To better understand cancer risk, it is necessary to explore the prevalence of hereditary CRC and pathogenic variants of multiple cancer-predisposing genes in non-European populations. METHODS: We analyzed the coding regions of 27 cancer-predisposing genes in 12,503 unselected Japanese CRC patients and 23,705 controls by target sequencing and genome-wide SNP chip. Their clinical significance was assessed using ClinVar and the guidelines by ACMG/AMP. RESULTS: We identified 4,804 variants in the 27 genes and annotated them as pathogenic in 397 and benign variants in 941, of which 43.6% were novel. In total, 3.3% of the unselected CRC patients and 1.5% of the controls had a pathogenic variant. The pathogenic variants of MSH2 (odds ratio (OR) = 18.1), MLH1 (OR = 8.6), MSH6 (OR = 4.9), APC (OR = 49.4), BRIP1 (OR=3.6), BRCA1 (OR = 2.6), BRCA2 (OR = 1.9), and TP53 (OR = 1.7) were significantly associated with CRC development in the Japanese population (P-values<0.01, FDR<0.05). These pathogenic variants were significantly associated with diagnosis age and personal/family history of cancer. In total, at least 3.5% of the Japanese CRC population had a pathogenic variant or CNV of the 27 cancer-predisposing genes, indicating hereditary cancers. CONCLUSIONS: This largest study of CRC heredity in Asia can contribute to the development of guidelines for genetic testing and variant interpretation for heritable CRCs.

BACKGROUND: Complex interactions among endogenous and exogenous factors influence the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). Germline mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes causing Lynch syndrome (LS) are major endogenous factors. The exogenous factor, alcohol consumption, is potentially associated with CRC incidence among patients with LS. However, insufficient data are available to determine whether alcohol consumption influences the time of the first onset of CRC associated with sex, MMR gene mutations, and anatomical tumor site. METHODS: Among 316 patients with LS identified in a Japanese LS cohort, we included 288 with data on age, sex, proband status, alcohol status, smoking status, tumor location, and MMR gene mutations. Multivariable analysis assessed the association of alcohol consumption with earlier onset of the first CRC. RESULTS: Ever drinkers were associated with higher risk of the first onset of CRC than never drinkers (HR 1.54, 95%CI 1.14-2.07, P = 0.004). The association of the first onset of CRC with alcohol consumption was stronger in men, carriers of pathogenic MLH1 and MSH2 mutations (vs those with pathogenic MSH6, PMS2 and EPCAM mutations), and tumors in the proximal colon cancer (vs distal colon and rectal cancer). CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol consumption was associated with earlier onset of the first CRC in Japanese LS cohort. The association was stronger in men, carriers of pathogenic MLH1 and MSH2 mutations, and tumors located in the proximal colon. Our findings illuminate the mechanism of LS-associated carcinogenesis and serve as a recommendation for discontinuing or ceasing alcohol consumption.

Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) is an important biomarker for predicting the effect of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) on advanced solid tumors. MSI-H is detected in various cancers, but its frequency varies by cancer type and stage. Therefore, precise frequency is required to plan ICIs therapy. In this study, the results of MSI test actually conducted in clinical practice were investigated. In total, 26,469 samples of various cancers were examined to determine if PD-1 blockade was indicated between December 2018 to November 2019. The results of MSI test were obtained for 26,237 (99.1%) among them. The male to female ratio was 51:49 and mean age was 64.3 years. In all the samples, overall frequency of MSI-H was 3.72%. By gender, the frequency of MSI-H was higher in female patients (4.75%) than in male patients (2.62%) (P < 0.001). A comparison by age revealed that the frequency of MSI-H was significantly higher in patients aged less than 40 years (6.12%) and 80 years or older (5.77%) than in patients aged between 60 and 79 years (3.09%) (P < 0.001). MSI-H was detected in 30 cancer types. Common cancer types were endometrial cancer, 16.85%; small intestinal cancer, 8.63%; gastric cancer, 6.74%; duodenal cancer, 5.60%; and colorectal cancer, 3.78%. MSI-H was detected in cancer derived from a wide variety of organs. The frequency of MSI-H varied by cancer types and onset age. These data should prove especially useful when considering ICI treatment. Supporting Information.
RESUMO
Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) is an important biomarker for predicting the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) on advanced solid tumors. Microsatellite instability-high is detected in various cancers, but its frequency varies by cancer type and stage. Therefore, precise frequency is required to plan ICI therapy. In this study, the results of MSI tests actually carried out in clinical practice were investigated. In total, 26 469 samples of various cancers were examined between December 2018 and November 2019 to determine whether programmed cell death-1 blockade was indicated. The results of MSI tests were obtained for 26 237 (99.1%) of these samples. The male : female ratio was 51:49 and mean age was 64.3 years. In all samples, the overall frequency of MSI-H was 3.72%. By gender, the frequency of MSI-H was higher in female patients (4.75%) than in male patients (2.62%; P < .001). A comparison by age revealed that the frequency of MSI-H was significantly higher in patients younger than 40 years of age (6.12%) and 80 years or older (5.77%) than in patients aged between 60 and 79 years (3.09%; P < .001). Microsatellite instability-high was detected in 30 cancer types. Common cancer types were: endometrial cancer, 16.85%; small intestinal cancer, 8.63%; gastric cancer, 6.74%; duodenal cancer, 5.60%; and colorectal cancer, 3.78%. Microsatellite instability-high was detected in cancer derived from a wide variety of organs. The frequency of MSI-H varied by cancer type and onset age. These data should prove especially useful when considering ICI treatment.
