Real-life disease monitoring in follicular lymphoma patients using liquid biopsy ultra-deep sequencing and PET/CT

Ana Jimenez-Ubieto et al.

Summary: In this study, we screened follicular lymphoma patients for liquid biopsy MRD biomarkers using NGS panel and found trackable mutations in a majority of the samples. We used ultra-deep sequencing to track these mutations in follow-up samples and found that positive LiqBio-MRD correlated with a higher risk of progression during treatment. The combination of LiqBio-MRD and PET/CT provided a sensitive and specific identification of patients who progressed in less than two years. This non-invasive approach should be considered in future clinical trials.

Tumor-informed or tumor-agnostic circulating tumor DNA as a biomarker for risk of recurrence in resected colorectal cancer patients

Hiu Ting Chan et al.

Summary: This study compared the clinical utility and sensitivity of two different approaches to ctDNA analyses in colorectal cancer patients. It found that tumor-informed ctDNA analysis was more accurate in monitoring genetic mutations compared to tumor-agnostic analysis. Serial monitoring of ctDNA allowed for the early detection of disease recurrence, with a median of 5 months earlier than radiological imaging.

Precision diagnostics in lymphomas-Recent developments and future directions

Larry Mansouri et al.

Summary: Genetics plays a crucial role in the clinical diagnostics of lymphomas, helping to subclassify the disease and stratify patient risk. Recent advancements in high-throughput sequencing technologies have provided a detailed understanding of the genomic landscape of various lymphoma entities, revealing a diverse genetic background. These studies have improved our understanding of lymphoma ontogeny and evolution and have identified potential genetic markers that can enhance lymphoma diagnostics and prognostication. However, the number of gene mutations with predictive impact for treatment selection remains limited. This review highlights clinically relevant diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive markers in lymphomas and discusses the potential of comprehensive genomic characterization for precision diagnostics and tailored therapy strategies.
