Recondo","doi":"10.21037/pcm-20-59","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21037/pcm-20-59","url":null,"abstract":": Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has introduced new applications in the molecular profiling of lung cancer, expanding its use from the essential molecular diagnosis in advanced stages, to disease monitoring and the study of resistance mechanisms to targeted therapies and, most recently, to immunotherapy. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) NGS is an easily accessible form of liquid biopsy, with the potential of sequencing tumor DNA shed from different metastasis and capturing tumor heterogeneity and tumor clonal evolution during treatment. Lorlatinib, is a novel third-generation ALK inhibitor, and current standard treatment for patients that experience disease progression with crizotinib and a second-generation ALK inhibitor or in the front line setting. Preclinical studies on predictive biomarkers of response and resistance to lorlatinib have been conducted, shedding a light on potential biological mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to this compound. With the emerging role of cfDNA NGS, molecular profiling opens new opportunities to try to unravel potential key biomarkers to predict lorlatinib efficacy and to further learn about the molecular processes that lead to lorlatinib resistance in the clinical practice. Herein, we discuss the current landscape of ALK targeted therapies, including clinical and preclinical data supporting the use of lorlatinib, and the current evidence of the role of liquid biopsies and its potential contribution in improving the care of patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC treated with lorlatinib. 14","PeriodicalId":74487,"journal":{"name":"Precision cancer medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43610550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this review is to present the available literature on the clinical implications of liquid biopsy use in urogenital tumors, specifically in prostate cancers (PCs) and bladder cancers (BCs). Methods: We searched PubMed and MEDLINE up to November 2, 2021 with no language restrictions. Key Content and Findings: The use of liquid biopsy in localized or metastatic hormone sensitive PC (mHSPC) is limited, given the low yield of detection. In contrast, the utility of liquid biopsy in metastatic castrate resistant PC (mCRPC) is more widely studied, with biomarkers such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and androgen receptor (AR) splice variant 7 (AR-V7) playing prognostic and predictive roles, and homologous recombination repair genes guiding therapy. Standardization of these assays and validation of their benefits in guiding clinical decisions are still needed. Liquid biopsy is approved for the diagnosis and monitoring of BC, but additional evidence is required on its therapeutic role, in patient selection for adjuvant and targeted therapy. Conclusions: Liquid biopsy technics have a promising role in guiding the diagnosis, prognosis and management of prostate and bladder tumors, as compared to traditional tissue biopsy. However, they still need to be standardized and validated in larger prospective trials.","PeriodicalId":74487,"journal":{"name":"Precision cancer medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47000638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
