Characterization of TP53 mutations in Pap test DNA of women with and without serous ovarian carcinoma

Abstract: Objective-Pap tests hold promise as a molecular diagnostic for serous ovarian cancer, but previous studies reported limited sensitivity. Furthermore, the presence of somatic mutations in normal tissue is increasingly recognized as a challenge to the specificity of mutation-based cancer diagnostics. We applied an ultra-deep sequencing method with the goal of improving sensitivity and characterizing the landscape of low-frequency somatic TP53 mutations in Pap tests.

“…All these mutations had low MAF (<0.02). As in prior studies (24)(25)(26), the number of mutations tended to increase with the number of duplex nucleotides sequenced (Supplementary Fig. S2).…”

“…We have also demonstrated the presence of cancer driver TP53 mutations in the peritoneal fluid (25), uterine lavage (24) and Pap test DNA (26) of women with and without ovarian cancer. Women with cancer tended to have higher TP53 mutation burden (25,26), suggesting increased TP53 somatic evolution in association with cancer progression.…”

“…Another limitation worth noting is that we evaluated only tumor-matched TP53 clonal variants. Somatic evolution in nonneoplastic tissues implies that, owing to aging or other physiological processes, multiple somatic variants are normally present ubiquitously at the mosaic level 14,15. Therefore, prospective clinical studies conceived and designed on large populations of women are required to validate our findings.ConclusionsThis cohort study found specific variants in multiple Papanicolaou tests from the same patients conducted up to 6 years before the diagnosis of HGS-EOC.…”

“…Since the entire gynecological tract is a communicating lumen, several research groups attempted to detect TP53 mutated ctDNA from exfoliated cells of HGOC and STIC lesions using Papanicolau cytology smear or uterine lavage samples. [19][20][21][22] Maritschnegg et al published their experience of performing utero-tubal lavage with a new proprietary catheter in 22 healthy patients. 23 Although overall promising, this technique required local cervical anesthesia and cervical dilatation in a large fraction of the cases.…”
