Electric Field-Induced Release and Measurement Liquid Biopsy for Noninvasive Early Lung Cancer Assessment.

ABSTRACT: Previously, we detected circulating tumor DNA that contained two EGFR mutations (p.L858R and exon19 del) in plasma of patients with late-stage non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) using the electric field-induced release and measurement (EFIRM) platform. Our aim was to determine whether EFIRM technology can detect these mutations in patients with early-stage NSCLC. Prospectively, 248 patients with radiographically determined pulmonary nodules were recruited. Plasma was collected before biopsy and histologic examination of the nodule. Inclusion criteria were histologic diagnosis of benign nodule (control) and stage I or II adenocarcinoma harboring either p.L858R or exon19 delEGFR mutations. Plasma samples were available from 44 patients: 23 with biopsy-proven benign pulmonary nodules and 21 with stage I or II adenocarcinoma (12 p.L858R and 9 exon19 delEGFR variants). Samples were analyzed for the EGFR mutations using the EFIRM platform. Assay sensitivity was 92% for p.L858R (11 of 12 samples positive) and 77% for exon19 del (7 of 9 samples positive). Specificity was 91% with two false-positive results in 23 patients with EGFR-positive nodules and 95% for the entire 44-patient series. Concordance was 100% with identical mutations discovered in plasma and nodule biopsy. The EFIRM platform is able to noninvasively detect two EGFR mutations in individuals with early-stage NSCLC.

Project description:BackgroundLiquid biopsy has been widely researched for early diagnosis, prognostication and disease monitoring in lung cancer, but there is a need to investigate its clinical utility for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsWe performed a meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate diagnostic and prognostic values of liquid biopsy for early-stage NSCLC, regarding the common biomarkers, circulating tumor cells, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), methylation signatures, and microRNAs. Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE databases, ClinicalTrials.gov, and reference lists were searched for eligible studies since inception to 17 May 2022. Sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) were assessed for diagnostic values. Hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was extracted from the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) plots for prognostic analysis. Also, potential predictive values and treatment response evaluation were further investigated.ResultsIn this meta-analysis, there were 34 studies eligible for diagnostic assessment and 21 for prognostic analysis. The estimated diagnostic values of biomarkers for early-stage NSCLC with AUCs ranged from 0.84 to 0.87. The factors TNM stage I, T1 stage, N0 stage, adenocarcinoma, young age, and nonsmoking contributed to a lower tumor burden, with a median cell-free DNA concentration of 8.64 ng/ml. For prognostic analysis, the presence of molecular residual disease (MRD) detection was a strong predictor of disease relapse (RFS, HR, 4.95; 95% CI, 3.06-8.02; p < 0.001) and inferior OS (HR, 3.93; 95% CI, 1.97-7.83; p < 0.001), with average lead time of 179 ± 74 days between molecular recurrence and radiographic progression. Predictive values analysis showed adjuvant therapy significantly benefited the RFS of MRD + patients (HR, 0.27; p < 0.001), while an opposite tendency was detected for MRD - patients (HR, 1.51; p = 0.19). For treatment response evaluation, a strong correlation between pathological response and ctDNA clearance was detected, and both were associated with longer survival after neoadjuvant therapy.ConclusionsIn conclusion, our study indicated liquid biopsy could reliably facilitate more precision and effective management of early-stage NSCLC. Improvement of liquid biopsy techniques and detection approaches and platforms is still needed, and higher-quality trials are required to provide more rigorous evidence prior to their routine clinical application.
