ABSTRACT
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 7.2% in China. However, effective approaches for diagnosis of PDAC are limited. Tumor-originating genomic and epigenomic aberration in circulating free DNA (cfDNA) have potential as liquid biopsy biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Our study aims to assess the feasibility of cfDNA-based liquid biopsy assay for PDAC diagnosis. In this study, we performed parallel genomic and epigenomic profiling of plasma cfDNA from Chinese PDAC patients and healthy individuals. Diagnostic models were built to distinguish PDAC patients from healthy individuals. Cancer-specific changes in cfDNA methylation landscape were identified, and a diagnostic model based on six methylation markers achieved high sensitivity (88.7% for overall cases and 78.0% for stage I patients) and specificity (96.8%), outperforming the mutation-based model significantly. Moreover, the combination of the methylation-based model with carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels further improved the performance (sensitivity 95.7% for overall cases and 95.5% for stage I patients; specificity 93.3%). In conclusion, our findings suggest that both methylation-based and integrated liquid biopsy assays hold promise as non-invasive tools for detection of PDAC.
