Abstract
Bronchial papillomas are benign tumors, which can be divided into different subtypes based on the cellular features. So far, no bronchial papilloma with basaloid cell features has been reported. We report a bronchial basaloid papillary tumor in a 67-year-old woman. Tumor recurrence and malignant transformation were observed after a long-term follow-up. The clinical, histological, immunohistochemical, and genetic features were reappraised. The primary tumor was characterized by papillary growth pattern and basaloid neoplastic cells, only a small amount of neoplastic cells showed mature characteristics. The tumor originated from respiratory epithelium and had a low proliferation index by Ki-67. Keratin (KRT) 5/6 and KRT7 showed patchy or partial positivity. Myoepithelial markers were negative. P63 was diffusely positive, but it was negative in the small amount of tumor cells with mature characteristics. The common genetic alterations (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF V600E, HER2, and ALK) of lung cancers were not detected. However, tumor recurrence was observed in the mediastinum and esophagus 12 years after surgery. The recurrent tumor had a morphology overlapping with that of the primary tumor; however, it displayed significantly malignant characteristics. The recurrent tumor was not related to high-risk HPV. A high variant allele frequency was observed in tumor suppressor gene BRCA1, TP53, oncogene GNA11, and KIT, which were all missense mutations. Considering the bland features of the primary tumor and the fact of tumor recurrence and undisputed malignant transformation, the basaloid papillary tumor was considered a tumor with uncertain malignant potential.

Abstract
Lung cancer has traditionally been associated with advanced age; however, its increasing incidence among young adults raises concerning questions regarding its etiology and unique considerations for this population. In contrast to the older population, the onset of lung cancer at younger age may be attributed to a complex interplay of incompletely understood individual susceptibility and prevalent environmental risk factors beyond tobacco smoke exposure, such as radon gas and air pollution, which are widespread globally. Consequently, this leads to distinct clinical and molecular profiles, requiring a tailored approach. Furthermore, a diagnosis of cancer represents a threatening event during the prime years of a young person's life, prompting concern about career development, social aspects, fertility aspirations, and physical independence. This poses significant additional challenges for health care professionals in a field that remains underexplored. This comprehensive review recognizes lung cancer in young adults as a distinct entity, exploring its clinical and molecular characteristics, diverse predisposing factors, and priorities in terms of quality of life, with the aim of providing practical support to oncologists and enhancing our understanding of this under-researched population.

Abstract
Genetic factors play significant roles in the tumorigenicity of lung cancer; however, there is lack of systematic and large-scale characterization of pathogenic germline variants for lung cancer. In this study, germline variants in 146 preselected cancer-susceptibility genes were detected in 17 904 Chinese lung cancer patients by clinical next-generation sequencing. Among 17 904 patients, 1738 patients (9.7%) carried 1840 pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants from 87 cancer-susceptibility genes. SBDS (SBDS ribosome maturation factor) (1.37%), TSHR (thyroid stimulating hormone receptor) (1.20%), BLM (BLM RecQ like helicase) (0.62%), BRCA2 (BRCA2 DNA repair associated) (0.62%), and ATM (ATM serine/threonine kinase) (0.45%) were the top five genes with the highest overall prevalence. The top mutated pathways were all involved in DNA damage repair (DDR). Case-control analysis showed SBDS c.184A>T(p.K62*), TSHR c.1574T>C(p.F525S), BRIP1 (BRCA1 interacting helicase 1) c.1018C>T(p.L340F), and MUTYH (mutY DNA glycosylase) c.55C>T(p.R19*) were significantly associated with increased lung cancer risk (q value < 0.05). P/LP variants in certain genes were associated with early onset of lung cancer. Our study indicates that Chinese lung cancer patients have a higher prevalence of P/LP variants than previously reported. P/LP variants are distributed in multiple pathways and dominated by DNA damage repair-associated pathways. The association between identified P/LP variants and lung cancer risk requires further studies for verification.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence of multiple primary malignancies (MPM) involving lung cancer has increased in recent decades. There is an urgent need to clarify the genetic profile of such patients and explore more efficacious therapy for them. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Peripheral blood samples from MPM involving patients with lung cancer were assessed by whole-exome sequencing (WES), and the identified variants were referenced for pathogenicity using the public available database. Pathway enrichment analysis of mutated genes was performed to identify the most relevant pathway. Next, the effects of mutations in relevant pathway on function and response to targeted drugs were verified by in vitro and in vivo experiments. RESULTS Germline exomes of 71 patients diagnosed with MPM involving lung cancer were sequenced. Pathway enrichment analysis shows that the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway has the strongest correlation. Moreover, HRR genes, especially key Holliday junction resolvases (HJR) genes (GEN1, BLM, SXL4, and RMI1), were most frequently mutated, unlike the status in the samples from patients with lung cancer only. Next, we identified a total of seven mutations in HJR genes led to homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency and rendered lung cancer cells sensitive to PARP inhibitor treatment, both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to map the profile of germline mutations in patients with MPM involving lung cancer. This study may shed light on early prevention and novel targeted therapies for MPM involving patients with lung cancer with HJR mutations.

Abstract
Lung cancer poses a global health challenge and stands as the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. However, its incidence, mortality, and characteristics are not uniform across all regions worldwide. Understanding the factors contributing to this diversity is crucial in a prevalent disease where most cases are diagnosed in advanced stages. Hence, prevention and early diagnosis emerge as the most efficient strategies to enhance outcomes. In Western societies, tobacco consumption constitutes the primary risk factor for lung cancer, accounting for up to 90% of cases. In other geographic locations, different significant factors play a fundamental role in disease development, such as individual genetic predisposition, or exposure to other carcinogens such as radon gas, environmental pollution, occupational exposures, or specific infectious diseases. Comprehensive clinical and molecular characterization of lung cancer in recent decades has enabled us to distinguish different subtypes of lung cancer with distinct phenotypes, genotypes, immunogenicity, treatment responses, and survival rates. The ultimate goal is to prevent and individualize lung cancer management in each community and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Multiple studies have identified pathogenic germline variants in cancer susceptibility genes (CSGs) in Chinese lung cancer patients; however, accurate assessment of these variants' contributions to cancer predisposition is always hampered by the absence of data on the prevalence of these variants in the general population. It is necessary to conduct a large-scale case-control study to identify CSGs that significantly increase the risk of lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed targeted sequencing of a CSGs panel in 1117 lung cancer patients and 16,327 controls from the general Chinese population. RESULTS In comparison to controls, lung cancer patients had a considerably higher prevalence of pathogenic and likely pathogenic (P/LP) variations. Among lung cancer patients, 72% of P/LP variants carriers did not have a family cancer history, who would be ignored if germline testing was only provided for patients meeting family history-based criteria. Furthermore, compared to individuals with late-onset lung cancer, patients with early-onset lung cancer had a considerably higher prevalence of P/LP variations. With odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 4-fold (BRCA1: OR, 4.193; 95%CI, 1.382-10.768) to 29-fold (TP53: OR, 29.281; 95%CI, 1.523-1705.506), P/LP variants in the BRCA1 and TP53 genes were discovered to be strongly related to increased lung cancer risk. Additionally, with ORs ranging from 7.322-fold to infinity, we discovered 23 variations previously categorized as non-P/LP variants were highly enriched in lung cancer patients. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that P/LP variants in BRCA1 and TP53 conferred increased risk of lung cancer in Chinese.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serine protease inhibitors clade B serpins (SERPINBs) are the largest subclass of protease inhibitors, once thought of as a tumor suppressor gene family. However, some SERPINBs exhibit functions unrelated to the inhibition of catalytic activity. METHODS The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Gene Set Cancer Analysis (GSCA), and cBioPortal databases were utilized to investigate SERPINBs expression, prognostic correlation, and genomic variation in 33 cancer types. We also conducted a comprehensive transcriptome analysis in multiple lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cohorts to reveal the molecular mechanism of SERPINB5 in LUAD. Then, qPCR and immunohistochemistry were used to verify the expression and prognostic value of SERPINB5 in LUAD patients. Furthermore, knockdown and overexpression of SERPINB5 in LUAD cell lines were performed to evaluate cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). RESULTS The expression of SERPINB5 was upregulated and demethylated in LUAD, and its abnormally high expression was significantly correlated with poor overall survival (OS). In addition, the expression of SERPINB5 was analyzed to determine its prognostic value in LUAD and confirmed that SERPINB5 was an independent predictor of LUAD in TCGA and GEO cohorts and qPCR validation with 106 clinical samples. At last, A knockdown of SERPINB5 in LUAD cells reduced proliferation, migration, and EMT. Proliferation, migration, and invasion are promoted by the overexpression of SERPINB5. CONCLUSION Therefore, SERPINB5 has shown potential as a prognostic biomarker for LUAD, and it may become a potential therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Intergenic-gene fusion detected by DNA-seq is particularly confusing for drug selection since the function of the intergenic region located upstream is unknown. We reported a case of a 49-year-old male with advanced lung adenocarcinoma, who was detected FBXO11 (intergenic)-ALK (exon 20-29) by DNA-seq, and FISH analysis revealed a positive result. The patient was treated with crizotinib and achieved a PR. The canonical EML4 (exon 1-13)-ALK (exon 20-29) fusion verified by RNA-seq suggested a complex EML4 (exon 1-13)-FBXO11 (intergenic)-ALK (exon 20-29) tripartite rearrangement at the DNA level. Our case emphasized the necessity of RNA-seq for verifying intergenic-gene fusion. Simultaneously, the pathogenic germline SLX4 variant and extensive CNVs of DNA segment were detected by DNA-seq deserves our attention.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death and familial lung cancer is a potential contributing factor. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are important events in carcinogenesis. The present study summarized the common germline mutations of EGFR, including T790M, V843I, R776H and P848L, and provided detailed information regarding each mutation site and potential treatment strategies. Individuals with germline mutations may develop lung cancer upon exposure to environmental stimuli such as smoking, air pollution or radiological contamination, or due to the occurrence of another somatic mutation. The present study recommends regular physical examinations as well as population-wide germline mutation screening for early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer.

Abstract
ATM is an apical kinase of the DNA damage response involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Germline ATM variants (gATM) have been associated with an increased risk of developing lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and approximately 9% of LUAD tumors harbor somatic ATM mutations (sATM). Biallelic carriers of pathogenic gATM exhibit a plethora of immunological abnormalities, but few studies have evaluated the contribution of immune dysfunction to lung cancer susceptibility. Indeed, little is known about the clinicopathological characteristics of lung cancer patients with sATM or gATM alterations. The introduction of targeted therapies and immunotherapies, and the increasing number of clinical trials evaluating treatment combinations, warrants a careful reexamination of the benefits and harms that different therapeutic approaches have had in lung cancer patients with sATM or gATM. This review will discuss the role of ATM in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, highlighting potential therapeutic approaches to manage ATM-deficient lung cancers.

[PMID: 36781323 DOI: 10.1016/j.cllc.2023.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Published studies on association of germline monogenic genes and lung cancer risk were inconsistent. Our objective is to assess the validity of reported candidate monogenic genes for their association with lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of published papers prior to August 2022 was performed first to identify all genes where germline mutations were associated with lung cancer risk. We then performed a confirmation study in 2,050 lung cancer cases and 198,553 controls in the UK Biobank (UKB). Germline mutations of these genes were identified from sequencing data and annotated using The American College of Medical Genetics criteria. The robust SKAT-O, a gene-based analysis that properly controls for false positives due to unbalanced case-control ratio, was used for association tests adjusting for age at recruitment, gender, and genetic background. RESULTS The systematic review identified 12 genes that were statistically significantly associated with lung cancer risk in at least one study (P < .05), including ATM, BLM, BRCA2, BRIP1, CHEK2, FANCA, FANCD2, MSH6, PMS1, RAD51C, RAD51D, and TP53. When pathogenic/likely pathogenic mutations were aggregated within each gene, the association was confirmed for ATM (P = 4.47E-4) at the study-wise significance level (P < .0042, Bonferroni correction for 12 tests). Suggestive evidence of association was found for 2 other genes, BRCA2 (P = .007) and TP53 (P = .03). Among these 3 genes, the lung cancer risks range from 1.95 (BRCA2) to 5.28 (TP53). CONCLUSION This study provides statistical evidence for association of previously reported genes and lung cancer risk and has clinical utility for risk assessment and genetic counseling.

The ctDNA-based postoperative molecular residual disease status in different subtypes of early-stage breast cancer. Gland Surg 2022; 11:1924-1935. [PMID: 36654951 PMCID: PMC9840987 DOI: 10.21037/gs-22-634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Background Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease. Early-stage, non-metastatic breast cancer is considered curable after definitive treatment. Early detection of tumor recurrence and metastasis through sensitive biomarkers is helpful for guiding clinical decision-making and early intervention in second-line treatment, which could improve patient prognosis and survival. Methods In this real-world study, we retrospectively analyzed 82 patients with stages I to III breast cancer who had been analyzed by molecular residual disease (MRD) assay. A total of 82 tumor tissues and 224 peripheral blood samples were collected and detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) based on a 1,021-gene panel in this study. Results MRD positivity was detected in 18 of 82 patients (22.0%). The hormone receptor-/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2+ (HR-/HER2+) subgroup had the highest postoperative MRD detection rate at 30.8% (4/13). The BRCA2 and SLX4 genes were significantly enriched in all patients in the MRD positive group and FGFR1 amplification was significantly enriched in the MRD negative group with HR+/HER2-. The number of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in tissue samples of MRD-positive patients was higher than that of MRD-negative patients (11.94 vs. 8.50 SNVs/sample). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that there was a similar biological function of the tumor-mutated genes in the 2 MRD status groups. Conclusions This real-world study confirmed that patient samples of primary tumor tissue with different MRD status and molecular subtypes had differential genetic features, which may be used to predict patients at high risk for recurrence.

Abstract
We present the largest whole-genome sequencing (WGS) study of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to date among 6,004 individuals of Chinese ancestry, coupled with 23,049 individuals genotyped by SNP array. We construct a high-quality haplotype reference panel for imputation and identify 20 common and low-frequency loci (minor allele frequency [MAF] ≥ 0.5%), including five loci that have never been reported before. For rare loss-of-function (LoF) variants (MAF < 0.5%), we identify BRCA2 and 18 other cancer predisposition genes that affect 5.29% of individuals with NSCLC, and 98.91% (181 of 183) of LoF variants have not been linked previously to NSCLC risk. Promoter variants of BRCA2 also have a substantial effect on NSCLC risk, and their prevalence is comparable with BRCA2 LoF variants. The associations are validated in an independent case-control study including 4,410 individuals and a prospective cohort study including 23,826 individuals. Our findings not only provide a high-quality reference panel for future array-based association studies but depict the whole picture of rare pathogenic variants for NSCLC.

Characterization of lung cancers in patients with BRCA germline variants: A multicenter series. Lung Cancer 2022; 173:67-70. [PMID: 36156322 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2022.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer susceptibility genes) are two tumor-suppressor genes associated with the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility syndrome. Recent studies also suggest an increased lung adenocarcinoma risk in carriers. METHODS We conducted a multi-center retrospective study in 18 different French pulmonology and/or oncology departments on medico-administrative and clinical data prospectively collected in the Clinical Data Warehouse (CDW) of Greater Paris University Hospitals (Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, AP-HP). Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with LC and a previously known BRCA1/2gl variant were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS 17 patients with LC and known BRCA1/2gl variant were included. Patients were most women, former smokers with localized disease and BRCA2 variants. All LC were adenocarcinoma. For patients with medical history of cancer, median time from the first cancer in the BRCA spectrum and the LC occurrence was 20 years. Median disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in localized tumor (Stage I and II) was not reached and 78.6 months, respectively. In advanced cancer (Stade III and IV) median progression free survival was 9.7 months and median OS was 17.8 months. Univariate OS and DFS/PFS analyses by BRCA status did not find significant differences. CONCLUSION Results seem to show particular LC features in carriers of BRCA2 variants: adenocarcinoma subtype, woman, former or non-smoker.
