Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Update of Incidence, Prevalence, Survival, and Initial Treatment in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in the US

Apar Kishor Ganti et al.

Summary: In this study, the latest US data show a decreasing overall incidence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 2010 to 2017, while the incidence of early stage I disease has risen. NSCLC prevalence has increased, and the estimated 5-year survival rate was found to be 26.4%; a significant proportion of patients aged 65 years or older with stage IV disease were not treated.

Early identification of disease progression in ALK-rearranged lung cancer using circulating tumor DNA analysis

Arlou Kristina Angeles et al.

Summary: This study utilized various sequencing technologies to analyze plasma DNA from 43 ALK+ NSCLC patients receiving ALK-directed therapies, finding that 51% of these patients had ALK-related alterations. Evidence for early detection of disease progression is crucial for guiding patient management and therapy decisions.

Evaluating the analytical validity of circulating tumor DNA sequencing assays for precision oncology

Ira W. Deveson et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of five industry-leading ctDNA assays and found that all assays showed high sensitivity, precision, and reproducibility above 0.5% variant allele frequency. However, below this limit, detection became unreliable, especially when input material was limited. The key challenge for ctDNA assays is the reliable sampling of rare ctDNA fragments, with missed mutations being more common than erroneous candidates.

Circulating tumor DNA as a biomarker for monitoring early treatment responses of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors

Paul van der Leest et al.

Summary: Monitoring changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels can serve as a proxy for early tumor response to immunotherapy in metastasized non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, correlating with durable clinical benefit (DCB), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Patients with a significant decrease (>30%) in ctDNA levels show longer PFS and OS, suggesting that ctDNA dynamics is a promising tool for assessing treatment outcomes in NSCLC patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).

Imaging biomarkers for evaluating tumor response: RECIST and beyond

Ching-Chung Ko et al.

Summary: RECIST criteria may not be sufficient to evaluate treatment response for new anticancer drugs, especially in the presence of molecular-targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Emerging imaging biomarkers, such as dynamic contrast-enhanced CT or MRI, DWI, MRS, and FDG-PET, show promise in assessing early tumor response beyond traditional RECIST criteria.

ctDNA Predicts Overall Survival in Patients With NSCLC Treated With PD-L1 Blockade or With Chemotherapy

Wei Zou et al.

Summary: In this study, the association between ctDNA MMPM levels at 6 weeks post-treatment and OS in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients treated with atezolizumab or docetaxel was investigated. The results suggest that ctDNA has the potential to serve as a noninvasive early liquid biopsy predictor for OS, highlighting the need for further studies to demonstrate its clinical utility.

Plasma ctDNA Response Is an Early Marker of Treatment Effect in Advanced NSCLC

Michael L. Cheng et al.

Summary: Plasma ctDNA response is an early phenomenon, with the majority of change detectable within the first cycle of therapy. These findings suggest that early insight into treatment effect may be obtained through monitoring ctDNA levels before treatment initiation.
