Abstract
Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a challenging malignancy and precision oncology treatment options may improve patient outcomes. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an established tool that enables multi-gene panel analysis.
Methods: This NGS tissue-based analysis, conducted at a German pancreatic cancer center, included 128 patients between January 2016 and January 2021.
Results: A targetable lesion was detected in 15.6% of patients. BRCA1/2 mutations were identified in 16 patients, of whom 13 had germline mutations; eight of these patients received Olaparib. In 41.4% of patients, homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes were affected. Two cases of ATP1B1-NRG1 fusions and seven cases of dMMR tumors were found, leading to individualized treatment. KRAS mutations were present in 70.3%, and TP53 mutations in 63.3%. A total of 80.5% of patients received platinum-based chemotherapy, predominantly FOLFIRINOX.
Conclusion: The high frequency of targetable alterations in our cohort underscores upfront NGS testing in PDAC. Younger patients, those with a positive FH and KRAS WT patients should be of particular interest.
期刊介绍:
With the first issue in 2014, the journal ''Onkologie'' has changed its title to ''Oncology Research and Treatment''. By this change, publisher and editor set the scene for the further development of this interdisciplinary journal. The English title makes it clear that the articles are published in English – a logical step for the journal, which is listed in all relevant international databases. For excellent manuscripts, a ''Fast Track'' was introduced: The review is carried out within 2 weeks; after acceptance the papers are published online within 14 days and immediately released as ''Editor’s Choice'' to provide the authors with maximum visibility of their results. Interesting case reports are published in the section ''Novel Insights from Clinical Practice'' which clearly highlights the scientific advances which the report presents.
