Innovative Approach to Detect Recurrent Colorectal Lesions With Surveillance Via Mutation Analysis & Clinical Phenotype

ABSTRACT: It is known that the development of colorectal adenoma is dependent on the appearance of somatic mutations in protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Based on our previous mutation analyses of 120 patients with high-risk adenoma removed by enbloc resection with subsequent colonoscopy after 1 year, there is a correlation between mutation in exon 7 of the TP53 gene and risk of early metachronous lesions development. The results also indicate that mutation phenotype (mutation profile and burden) of all lesions detected on index colonoscopy can determine risk of metachronous lesions. As not all synchronous lesions were analyzed and the surveillance colonoscopy interval was less than 3 years, this assumption could not be confirmed. In this study it is planned to perform mutation analysis of all synchronous lesions in 200 patients and correlate the data with appearance of metachronous lesions after 1, 3 and 5 years. Moreover, the mutation profile of all metachronous lesions developed during the 5 years of surveillance will be determinated and compared with mutation profile of index lesions from the same localization to verify their common biological origin. This all could help personalize the surveillance program in terms of reduction of the burden on the patient and endoscopic workplaces and risk of developing colorectal cancer in a particular patient.

Project description:Different subtypes of serrated lesions have been recently described. Among them, both sessile serrated polyp/adenoma (SSP/A) and traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) could have malignant potential through the serrated pathway or CIMP. These lesions, as a potential source of interval cancer, should also be considered in colorectal cancer (CRC) population-based screening programs. It is believed that this new described pathway could be responsible for up to 30% of all CRC. Unlike the traditional adenoma, serrated lesions are difficult to diagnose because of their particular endoscopic appearance and their still unclear histological criteria. Furthermore, they have specific molecular changes and, through them, they could evolve into CRC faster than the adenoma. The real prevalence of the serrated lesions and their specific risk for developing new synchronous/metachronous lesions, or even malignancy, remains unknown. For all these reasons, we don’t know if these patients could constitute a different CRC-risk group and if specific recommendations are needed during their follow-up. This is a prospective longitudinal study developed within the framework of the CRC-screening program in the Valencian Community (Spain). We expect to include a total of 700 individuals who will be followed during 10 years. In our study, we will collect epidemiologic variables related to the patient, variables related to all the polyps, and mutational (BRAF, KRAS, MSI), and CpG-island methylation status of serrated lesions. Strict endoscopic and histological criteria will be applied for the diagnosis of serrated lesions. All lesions detected at the index colonoscopy and during follow-up will be evaluated. The purpose of this study is to correlate epidemiologic data, histological characteristics and the molecular profile of the serrated lesions with findings during follow-up, in order to define stratified groups according to their risk of developing new lesions or CRC in the future.

Project description:Introduction: The I-SPY 1 TRIAL was designed to evaluate complete pathologic response and tumor volume change, measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), stratified by molecular subtypes and link response to 3-year recurrence free survival (RFS).Methods: Eligible patients had T =3 cm and received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with AC plus optional taxane. Serial MRI, biopsy, and blood draws were conducted over the course of treatment, and a database of multiple molecular profiles was assembled.Results: A total of 221 patients were eligible for analysis: median tumor size was 6.0 cm and median age was 49 years. The I-SPY 1 TRIAL patients had tumors with aggressive biology: 45% were estrogen receptor (ER) negative, 31% Her2+; and 91% high risk by the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) 70-gene profile. After a median of 3.9 years, RFS was 77%. HR/HER2 status improved predictability of RFS with the greatest difference between HR+/HER2- and triple-negative disease (hazard ratio 0.39). Wound healing signature activation, p53 mutation, and Risk of Relapse (ROR) score were highly correlated and also significantly improved the accuracy of RFS predictions when added to stage. The rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) varied considerably from a low of 0-2% (NKI low risk, luminal A) to a high of 43-61% (17q Amplified, HER2 enriched, HR-/HER2+). Both pCR and the more refined residual cancer burden (RCB) were significant predictors of RFS for all patients and even more predictive when analyzed within biomarker subsets. Good risk (NKI low, ROR-S low risk, Wound Healing quiescent, p53 wild type) signatures were associated with significantly higher 3-year RFS than poor risk expression signatures (ROR-S high risk, Wound Healing Activated, p53 mutation, NKI high risk).Conclusion: Importantly, in this set of biologically poor prognosis tumors, pCR predicts for better outcome, especially when analyzed within breast cancer subsets.

Project description:Gene-expression profiles of hepatitis C-related, early-stage liver cirrhosis Background & Aims: Liver cirrhosis affects 1%M-bM-^HM-^R2% of population and is the major risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatitis C cirrhosis-related HCC is the most rapidly increasing cause of cancer death in the US. Non-invasive methods have been developed to identify patients with asymptomatic, early-stage cirrhosis, increasing the burden of HCC surveillance, but biomarkers are needed to identify patients with cirrhosis who are most in need of surveillance. We investigated whether a liver-derived 186-gene signature previously associated with outcomes of patients with HCC is prognostic for patients newly diagnosed with cirrhosis but without HCC. Methods: We performed gene expression profile analysis of formalin-fixed needle biopsies from the livers of 216 patients with hepatitis C-related early-stage (Child-Pugh class A) cirrhosis who were prospectively followed for a median of 10 years at an Italian center. We evaluated whether the 186-gene signature was associated with death, progression of cirrhosis, and development of HCC. Results: Fifty-five (25%), 101 (47%), and 60 (28%) patients were classified as having poor-, intermediate-, and good-prognosis signatures, respectively. In multivariable Cox regression modeling, the poor-prognosis signature was significantly associated with death (P=.004), progression to advanced cirrhosis (P<.001), and development of HCC (P=.009). The 10-year rates of survival were 63%, 74%, and 85% and the annual incidences of HCC were 5.8%, 2.2%, and 1.5% for patients with poor-, intermediate-, and good-prognosis signatures, respectively. Conclusions: A 186-gene signature used to predict outcomes of patients with HCC is also associated with outcomes of patients with hepatitis C-related early-stage cirrhosis. This signature might be used to identify patients with cirrhosis in most need of surveillance and strategies to prevent their development of HCC. 216 liver biopsy specimens
