Circulating tumor DNA in lung cancer: real-time monitoring of disease evolution and treatment response

Abstract: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of all cancer-related deaths. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is released from apoptotic and necrotic tumor cells. Several sensitive techniques have been invented and adapted to quantify ctDNA genomic alterations. Applications of ctDNA in lung cancer include early diagnosis and detection, prognosis prediction, detecting mutations and structural alterations, minimal residual disease, tumor mutational burden, and tumor evolution tracking. Compared to surgical biopsy and rad… Show more

“…170,171 Circulating tumour DNA is another exciting development, with studies in patients with lung and other cancers demonstrating utility in screening, diagnosis, surveillance and genomic profiling of cancers while reducing the need for repeated invasive investigations. 172,173 Further examples include the use of decisional tools that integrate genomic data to stratify risk and treatment options for patients (eg Oncotype DX ® [Genomic Health] in patients with breast cancer). 174 Outside cancer diagnostics, genome-wide association studies are also influencing our understanding of common conditions such as adhesive capsulitis ('frozen shoulder').…”

“…17 This technique assesses the release of DNA fragments from tumor cells into the peripheral circulation due to apoptosis and necrosis. 17,[98][99][100] Recent realworld data suggest droplet-digital PCR has high sensitivity and specificity for low-abundance T790M mutation. 18 The NCCN and ESMO guidelines now recommend repeat genomic testing at progression to identify EGFR-and ALK-resistance targets.- 10,14 Newer applications for ctDNA, such as real-time therapy response monitoring, minimal residual disease (MRD) testing, and their use as a predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy, are currently under investigation.…”

“…However, tissue samples from biopsies are often insufficient or inadequate for biomarker testing, 86,122,133,136,146 necessitating repeat biopsies and delays in treatment. 100 Optimizing tissue handling after biopsies are obtained to maximize available material for molecular studies is essential, and standardized algorithms for diagnostic procedures should be defined in routine practice. These should involve reflex testing for biomarker testing, which will shorten TAT and preserve tissue.…”
