Identification of TP53 mutations in circulating tumour DNA in high grade serous ovarian carcinoma using next generation sequencing technologies

Leslie Calapre et al.

Summary: This study compared the suitability of the Accel and Oncomine panels for identification of TP53 mutations in ctDNA of HGSOC patients. Results showed that only 60% of patients were found to have TP53 mutations using the Accel panel, but the addition of molecular tags in the Oncomine panel improved ctDNA detection with at least one mutation detected in all cases. Orthogonal validation using droplet digital PCR confirmed 79% of the identified mutations. Overall, the Oncomine panel with unique molecular identifiers (UMI) appears more useful for ctDNA analysis in HGSOC.

Prognostic significance of postsurgery circulating tumorDNAin nonmetastatic colorectal cancer: Individual patient pooled analysis of three cohort studies

Jeanne Tie et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that postoperative ctDNA analysis is prognostically significant in nonmetastatic CRC patients, with higher predictive accuracy for recurrence compared to clinicopathologic risk factors, and increasing mutant allele frequency (MAF) further stratifying recurrence risk.

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.

Minimal Residual Disease Detection using a Plasma-only Circulating Tumor DNA Assay in Patients with Colorectal Cancer

Aparna R. Parikh et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that detection of persistent circulating tumor DNA in plasma shows favorable sensitivity and specificity for predicting recurrence after curative-intent surgery for colorectal cancer. Integrating analysis of genomic and epigenomic signatures enhances the accuracy of detection, supporting the potential clinical utility of plasma-only ctDNA minimal residual disease detection.

Postoperative circulating tumor DNA as markers of recurrence risk in stages II to III colorectal cancer

Gong Chen et al.

Summary: This study found that postoperative detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can predict high relapse risk and identify disease recurrence ahead of radiological imaging in patients with stage II/III colorectal cancer (CRC). ctDNA may be used to guide decision-making in postoperative management.

Jeanne Tie et al.

Summary: Serial ctDNA analysis in patients with resectable CRLM can serve as an early marker of treatment efficacy during adjuvant chemotherapy, aiding in the optimal use of perioperative chemotherapy. The prognostic impact of postoperative and posttreatment ctDNA in resected CRLM patients has been confirmed, highlighting the need for further studies on integrating ctDNA analyses into decision-making regarding adjuvant therapy for resectable CRLM.
