Abstract
MAPK signaling activation is an important driver event in colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis that informs therapy selection, but detection by liquid biopsy can be challenging. We analyze real-world comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) data to explore the landscape of alterations in BRAF or RAS in CRC patients (N = 51 982) and co-occurrence with other biomarkers. A pathogenic RAS or BRAF alteration was found in 63.2% and 57.9% of colon and rectal cancer samples, respectively. In a subset of 140 patients with both tissue- and liquid-based CGP, the sensitivity of liquid for results found by tissue was 100% when ctDNA tumor fraction was at least 1%, illustrating the utility of tissue and liquid biopsy in detecting driver alterations in CRC.
期刊介绍:
FEBS Open Bio is an online-only open access journal for the rapid publication of research articles in molecular and cellular life sciences in both health and disease. The journal''s peer review process focuses on the technical soundness of papers, leaving the assessment of their impact and importance to the scientific community.
FEBS Open Bio is owned by the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS), a not-for-profit organization, and is published on behalf of FEBS by FEBS Press and Wiley. Any income from the journal will be used to support scientists through fellowships, courses, travel grants, prizes and other FEBS initiatives.
