Diagnostic value of circulating free DNA for the detection of EGFR mutation status in NSCLC: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is a reliable and sensitive biomarker for EGFR-TKI therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, detection of EGFR mutation in tissues has obvious limitations. Circulating free DNA (cfDNA) has been reported as an alternative approach for the detection of EGFR mutations. This systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to assess the diagnostic performance of cfDNA, compared with tissues. True-positive (TP), false-positive (FP), false-negative (FN),… Show more

“…This recommendation is evidence based and supported by 6 studies, 232,234,235,242,243,247 comprising 2 MAs, 243,247 2 PCSs, 235,242 and 2 PRCSs. 232,234 The identified studies used various EGFR detection methods, but all verified the results from cfDNA with results from tumor tissue.…”

“…The concordance rate improved to 100% as the time between the collections of the two samples was closer to each other. A meta-analysis of 20 studies assessing the performance of ctDNA compared to tissue to detect EGFR mutations in NSCLC, demonstrated a pooled sensitivity of 67% and a pooled specificity of 93% (29). Another meta-analysis of 25 studies demonstrated the pooled overall sensitivity, specificity, and concordance rate of ctDNA compared to tissue as 61%, 90% and 79%, respectively (30).…”

“…These techniques identify relevant genetic alterations from low levels of tumor-shed cfDNA within plasma (10); concordance between cfDNA plasma assays and tissue genotyping has been high (11)(12)(13). Limitations of plasma assays include decreased sensitivity compared with tissue testing, and results can be dependent on tumor volume and the sites of disease (14).…”
