Up-front mutation detection in circulating tumor DNA by droplet digital PCR has added diagnostic value in lung cancer

Esther Visser et al.

Summary: This study establishes the diagnostic value of ctDNA-ddPCR analysis and suggests that combining ctDNA-ddPCR with tDNA-NGS only when ctDNA-ddPCR is negative can increase the number of mutations detected and reduce the need for (additional) biopsies.

Malignant pleural effusions for cancer genotyping: A matter of trans-pleural traffic of cell-free tumor DNA

Gabor Mehes et al.

Summary: Fluid accumulating in progressive malignancies can be tested for cancer-related features, with the cell-free DNA fraction reflecting molecular characteristics of the tumor process. Pleural effusions can be used for genetic profiling in lung cancer, with the concentration of cfDNA depending on various factors in benign and malignant conditions. The enrichment of effusion tumor DNA may be influenced by factors such as pleural metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, and inflammatory processes.

Cytology-Based Specimen Triage for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation Testing of Malignant Pleural Effusions in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Chi-Lu Chiang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the optimal approach for EGFR mutation testing in NSCLC patients using centrifuged effusion samples and proposes a cytology-based specimen triage. The proposed strategy improves the detection rate of EGFR mutations and provides an efficient testing strategy for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Screening for Lung Cancer in Individuals Who Never Smoked: An International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Early Detection and Screening Committee Report

Anna Kerpel-Fronius et al.

Summary: The feasibility and effectiveness of lung cancer screening for individuals who never smoked are uncertain due to current screening guidelines typically excluding this group. Evaluation in each country considering various factors, including risk assessment accuracy and cost-effectiveness, is necessary. Current evidence supporting widespread implementation of screening for never smokers is lacking.

Pitfalls and Rewards of Setting Up a Liquid Biopsy Approach for the Detection of Driver Mutations in Circulating Tumor DNAs: Our Institutional Experience

Michelle Chen et al.

Summary: We describe our institutional experience of developing a liquid biopsy approach using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis for personalized medicine in cancer patients. The study focuses on the hurdles encountered during the process and provides insights for other investigators. Through sequencing tumor DNA and circulating cell-free DNA, our study shows that driver mutations can be detected in ctDNA, providing guidance for personalized treatment and monitoring tumor burden in cancer patients.

EGFR testing in paraffin-embedded cell block cytology material is reliable with increased detection for effusion fluid

Joanna Ka Man Ng et al.

Summary: In this study, a large cohort of EGFR tests was reviewed to evaluate the adequacy, detection rate, and discrepancy rate of cytology material. The results indicate that cytology material has lower adequacy rates, while pleural fluid is superior to pleural biopsies for molecular testing.

Cell-free DNA From Pleural Effusion Samples: Is It Right for Molecular Testing in Lung Adenocarcinoma?

Attila Mokanszki et al.

Summary: The study revealed that cfDNA isolated from pleural effusion showed significantly higher yield compared to that from PB, and gene mutations could be safely demonstrated from the effusion cfDNA fraction. Pleural effusion appears to be a particularly suitable source for serial genotyping of pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Distinct profile of cell-free DNA in malignant pleural effusion of non-small cell lung cancer and its impact on clinical genetic testing

Yongfeng Yu et al.

Summary: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from pleural effusion supernatant shows potential as a surrogate sample for detecting therapeutic targets and tumor mutation burden in advanced NSCLC patients. It is suggested that direct use of total cfDNA without fragmentation for library preparation in clinical practice may yield more accurate genetic testing results, avoiding interference from long fragments of cfDNA.
