ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Genomic alterations are fundamental for molecular-guided therapy in patients with breast and lung cancer. However, the turn-around time of standard next-generation sequencing assays is a limiting factor in the timely delivery of genomic information for clinical decision-making.METHODS:
In this study, we evaluated genomic alterations in 54 cerebrospinal fluid samples from 33 patients with metastatic lung cancer and metastatic breast cancer to the brain using the Oncomine Precision Assay on the Genexus sequencer. There were nine patients with samples collected at multiple time points.RESULTS:
Cell-free total nucleic acids (cfTNA) were extracted from CSF (0.1-11.2 ng/µl). Median base coverage was 31,963× with cfDNA input ranging from 2 to 20 ng. Mutations were detected in 30/54 CSF samples. Nineteen (19/24) samples with no mutations detected had suboptimal DNA input (< 20 ng). The EGFR exon-19 deletion and PIK3CA mutations were detected in two patients with increasing mutant allele fraction over time, highlighting the potential of CSF-cfTNA analysis for monitoring patients. Moreover, the EGFR T790M mutation was detected in one patient with prior EGFR inhibitor treatment. Additionally, ESR1 D538G and ESR1CCDC170 alterations, associated with endocrine therapy resistance, were detected in 2 mBC patients. The average TAT from cfTNA-to-results was < 24 h.CONCLUSION:
In summary, our results indicate that CSF-cfTNA analysis with the Genexus-OPA can provide clinically relevant information in patients with brain metastases with short TAT.Palavras-chave
