Abstract
Background/aim: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) with tissue- and blood-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) is integral to the delivery of personalized medicine for targeted cancer therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the variant concordance for somatic variants using two clinical NGS systems for conducting both tissue- and blood-based analyses: Genexus-OCA v3 (OCA) vs. FoundationOne CDx (F1) for tissues and Genexus OPA (OPA) vs. FoundationOne CDx Liquid (F1L) for blood.
Patients and methods: The concordance of genomic alterations between the two NGS analyses was compared in six patients with breast, head, and neck cancers using tissue and circulating tumor DNA biopsies.
Results: A total of 130 genes were common between F1 and OCA, and 41 between F1L and OPA. When comparing FoundationOne to Genexus for common genes, the sensitivity and specificity of OCA and OPA were 55% and 99%, respectively. Nine single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), one copy number alteration (CNA), and one fusion were detected by both Genexus and FoundationOne. However, one SNV (MAP2K1 F53V), two CNAs (AKT3 and MYC), and one fusion (ESR-CCDC170) were detected only in Genexus, whereas two SNVs (TP53 Q331* and KRAS G12V) were detected only in FoundationOne.
Conclusion: The two cancer genome panels were equivalent but not perfect in terms of the detection of variants using tissue and blood, indicating that different assays and analytical methods may have influenced the results. When performing CGPs, it is important to consider the characteristics of each NGS-based CGP test and the genetic variants associated with each disease.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
