Project description:Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker of disease activity in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) patients are still not well-defined. By profiling primary tumors and ctDNA, we identified common variants between primary tumors and longitudinal plasma samples in most of the cases, confirming high PBatial and temporal heterogeneity. Though ctDNA analyses mirrored HRS cell genetics overall, the prevalence of variants shows that none of them can be used as a single biomarker. Conversely, the estimation of hGE/mL, based in total ctDNA quantification, reflects disease activity and is almost perfectly correlated with standard parameters such as PET/CT that are associated with refractoriness.

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB) is an embryonal tumor of the cerebellum and a highly malignant childhood brain tumor. Cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with brain tumors faithfully represent genomic alterations of brain tumors. Distinct epigenetic signatures among subgroups of MB allow us to detect epigenetic alterations in CSF to aid classify and guide therapy of MB tumors. Here, we evaluate DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation of ctDNA derived from small amount of CSF (200 µL) and matched tumor DNA from 3 MB patients. We find highly concordance of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation between CSF ctDNA and tumor DNA, especially in CpG islands. Importantly, CSF ctDNA can mostly recapitulate the dynamic changes of DNA methylation and hydroxymehtylation in tumor species compared to healthy cerebellums. Those MB tumor signature CpGs’ DNA methylation status are recovered in CSF ctDNA can clearly distinguish MB subgroups by utilizing public large cohort data. We further identified potential diagnostic and prognostic DNA methylation markers in CSF ctDNA. Our results show that CSF ctNDA methylation and hydroxymethylation can be a minimal invasive method to assess epigenetic alterations of MB, which is complementary to current diagnoses of MB tumors.

Project description:The Oxford Nanopore (ONT) platform provides portable and rapid genome sequencing, and its ability to natively profile DNA methylation without complex sample processing is attractive for clinical sequencing. We recently demonstrated ONT shallow whole-genome sequencing to detect copy number alterations (CNA) from the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) of cancer patients. Here, we show that cell-type and cancer-specific methylation changes can also be detected, as well as cancer-associated fragmentation signatures. This feasibility study suggests that ONT shallow WGS could be a powerful tool for liquid biopsy, especially real-time medical applications.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal tumors. According to the latest cancer report, the incidence and mortality rates of CRC are both ranked top 5 among malignant tumors worldwide and continue to rise. Patients who receive treatment in the early stage (stage I) have a 5-year survival rate of approximately 90%. However, for high-risk stage II and III colorectal cancer patients, the 5-year survival rate is only 40%-70%, and almost half of the patients experience postoperative recurrence and metastasis.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a small fraction of total cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in peripheral blood circulation, carrying tumor-specific genetic and epigenetic information. It can usually be detected in the serum or plasma of tumor patients in peripheral blood. Studies have shown that methylation detection of plasma ctDNA can be used for predicting the efficacy and prognosis of tumor postoperatively, as well as for dynamic monitoring.
Current methods for monitoring CRC recurrence include testing for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in blood and periodic computed tomography (CT) scans. However, due to the low sensitivity of CEA and the radiation and cost limitations of CT examination, the disease status of postoperative CRC patients cannot be well-monitored.
ctDNA is a promising biomarker for monitoring the recurrence and metastasis of CRC. Research results have shown that ctDNA can be detected in all subjects before surgery, and the changes in ctDNA levels are related to the extent of surgical resection. The detection of ctDNA after surgery generally indicates recurrence within one year. ctDNA may be a more reliable and sensitive indicator than the current standard biomarker CEA, providing a window for early intervention.
This multicenter, prospective, and randomized controlled cohort study uses a single-tube methylation-specific quantitative PCR (mqMSP) detection, which detects 10 different methylation markers and can quantitatively analyze plasma samples containing tumor DNA as low as 0.05%. This study will use the ctDNA methylation detection technology to conduct quantitative detection of ctDNA methylation in the plasma of enrolled patients, hoping to predict the recurrence and metastasis risk of patients at an earlier stage through ctDNA changes, and to explore the value of ctDNA detection in guiding postoperative follow-up for high-risk stage II and III CRC.

Distinct epigenetic signatures among subgroups of MB allow us to detect epigenetic alterations in CSF to aid classify and guide therapy of MB tumors.

We find highly concordance of DNA methylation between CSF ctDNA and tumor DNA in a subtype manner. Our results show that CSF ctNDA methylation can be a minimal invasive precisely method to assess epigenetic alterations of MB in a subtype manner, which is complementary to current diagnoses of MB tumors.

Project description:The clinical diagnosis and treatment of small pulmonary nodules (suspected to be lung metastases) in advanced colorectal cancer patients remain controversy. Previous studies have shown that tumor-informed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) blood testing can sensitively detect residual cancer. Postoperative ctDNA in colorectal cancer patients is a valuable biomarker to identify minimal residual disease (MRD) after radical resection, which is possibly useful in redefining the risk group of patients and guiding postoperative treatment. This study aimed to explore the clinical value of therapeutic strategies based on tumor-informed ctDNA test in advanved colorectal cancer patients with small pulmonary nodules.

Project description:Cancer is a DNA disease characterized by the presence of genetics alterations in cancer cells.
The recent studies underline that these recurring alterations must be considered as a good molecular marker. In fact, they could use for tumor DNA detection in different biological fluids.
So, the main purpose is to define the presence of circulating tumor DNA in the patients plasma with colorectal cancer, by the presence of mutation (KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, APC, TP53 and MIRCOSATELLIE instability).
These molecular analysis will be done both in tumor and plasma samples,
This trial allows to characterize the prognostic value of circulating tumoral DNA presence in colorectal cancer.

Project description:In clinical practice, there are currently no biomarkers that can guide colorectal cancer treatment in the primary and curative setting. Improved biomarker-based adjuvant treatments would be of greatest value in order to reduce the risk of relapse. There are reasons to believe that measurements of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma could be used to monitor minimal residual disease after surgery. To address this question, a pilot study was conducted with the purpose to demonstrate the feasibility to perform prospective profiling of ctDNA in a cohort of patients with colorectal cancer stage I-III using the already created Nordic infrastructure for clinical research built up for the ALASCCA trial. If the pilot study proves successful, a large randomised controlled Nordic multicenter study is planned where patients with positive ctDNA 4-6 weeks after radical surgery will be randomised to chemotherapy and/or a biologic agent.
