Factors for a broad technology assessment of comprehensive genomic profiling in advanced cancer, a systematic review. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2024; 202:104441. [PMID: 39002790 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2024.104441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) allows for the identification of many targets. Reimbursement decision-making is, however, challenging because besides the health benefits of on-label treatments and costs, other factors related to diagnostic and treatment pathways may also play a role. The aim of this study was to identify which other factors are relevant for the technology assessment of CGP and to summarize the available evidence for these factors. After a scoping search and two expert sessions, five factors were identified: feasibility, test journey, wider implications of diagnostic results, organisation of laboratories, and "scientific spillover". Subsequently, a systematic search identified 83 studies collecting mainly evidence for the factors "test journey" and "wider implications of diagnostic results". Its nature was, however, of limited value for decision-making. We recommend the use of comparative strategies, uniformity in outcome definitions, and the inclusion of a comprehensive set of factors in future evidence generation.

Genomic Markers of CDK 4/6 Inhibitor Resistance in Hormone Receptor Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:3159. [PMID: 35804935 PMCID: PMC9264913 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14133159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors are the standard of care for hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. This retrospective study reports on genomic biomarkers of CDK 4/6i resistance utilizing genomic data acquired through routine clinical practice. Patients with HR+ MBC treated with palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib and antiestrogen therapy were identified. Patients were grouped into early (<6 months); intermediate (6−24 months for 0−1 lines; 6−9 months for ≥2 lines); or late progressors (>24 months for 0−1 lines; >9 months PFS for ≥2 lines). NGS and RNA sequencing data were analyzed in association with PFS, and survival analysis was stratified by prior lines of chemotherapy. A total of 795 patients with HR+ MBC treated with CDK 4/6i were identified. Of these, 144 (18%) patients had genomic data and 29 (3.6%) had RNA data. Among the 109 patients who received CDK4/6i as 1st- or 2nd-line therapy, 17 genes showed associations with PFS (p-value ≤ 0.15 and HR ≥ 1.5 or HR < 0.5). Whole transcriptome RNAseq was analyzed for 24/109 (22%) patients with 0−1 prior lines of therapy and 56 genes associated with PFS (HR ≥ 4 or HR ≤ 0.25 and FDR ≤ 0.15). In this retrospective analysis, genomic biomarkers including FGFR1 amplification, PTEN loss, and DNA repair pathway gene mutations showed significant associations with shorter PFS for patients receiving CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer represents a heterogeneous group of human cancer at both histological and molecular levels. Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are the most commonly used biomarkers in clinical practice for making treatment plans for breast cancer patients by oncologists. Recently, PD-L1 testing plays an important role for immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. With the increased understanding of the molecular characterization of breast cancer and the emergence of novel targeted therapies, more potential biomarkers are needed for the development of more personalized treatments. In this review, we summarized several main prognostic and predictive biomarkers in breast cancer at genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic levels, including hormone receptors, HER2, Ki67, multiple gene expression assays, PD-L1 testing, mismatch repair deficiency/microsatellite instability, tumor mutational burden, PIK3CA, ESR1 andNTRK and briefly introduced the roles of digital imaging analysis in breast biomarker evaluation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer (BC) is the malignant neoplasm with the highest mortality rate in women and female dogs are good models to study BC. OBJECTIVE We investigated the efficacy of liquid biopsy to detect gene mutations in the diagnosis and follow-up of women and female dogs with BC. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 57 and 37 BC samples were collected from women and female dogs, respectively. After core biopsy and plasma samples were collected, the DNA and ctDNA of the tumor fragments and plasma were processed for next generation sequencing (NGS) assay. After preprocessing of the data, they were submitted to the Genome Analysis ToolKit (GATK). RESULTS In women, 1788 variants were identified in tumor fragments and 221 variants in plasma; 66 variants were simultaneously detected in tumors and plasma. Conversely, in female dogs, 1430 variants were found in plasma and 695 variants in tumor fragments; 59 variants were simultaneously identified in tumors and plasma. The most frequently mutated genes in the tumor fragments of women were USH2A, ATM, and IGF2R; in female dogs, they were USH2A, BRCA2, and RRM2. Plasma of women showed the most frequent genetic variations in the MAP3K1, BRCA1, and GRB7 genes, whereas plasma from female dogs had variations in the NF1, ERBB2, and KRT17 genes. Mutations in the AKT1, PIK3CA, and BRIP genes were associated with tumor recurrence, with a highly pathogenic variant in PIK3CA being particularly prominent. We also detected a gain-of-function mutation in the GRB7, MAP3K1, and MLH1 genes. CONCLUSION Liquid biopsy is useful to identify specific genetic variations at the beginning of BC manifestation and may be accompanied over the entire follow-up period, thereby supporting the clinicians in refining interventions.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) followed by matched therapy has opened up new therapeutic options to patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Here we report our experience with this approach in everyday clinical practice. This retrospective study included 95 patients with mBC who were genotyped with the FoundationOne® (CDx) assay in a commercial molecular pathology laboratory. Genetic alterations were identified in all tumor specimens, and 83 patients (87.4%) had a median of 2 (range, 1-6) potentially actionable alterations. A multidisciplinary tumor board recommended genomically guided therapy to 63 patients, 30 of whom received such treatment. Everolimus (n = 15) and anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) therapy (n = 6) were most frequently administered. The ratio of progression-free survival (PFS) under NGS-based therapy to PFS under the last line of standard therapy prior to NGS was >1.3 in 13 (43.3%) patients, indicative of a clinical benefit to NGS-directed therapy. One-year overall survival rates were 22.7% (95% CI, 6.5-44.4) in 65 patients allocated to the standard therapy versus 62.9% (95% CI, 41.6-78.2) in 30 patients receiving the matched therapy. In conclusion, NGS-matched treatment improved the clinical outcomes in a subgroup of mBC patients.

Abstract
Molecular testing in breast cancer is a rapidly developing field that is becoming increasingly integral to patient care. This article provides an overview of currently available molecular assays and testing modalities that have prognostic, predictive, and therapeutic value. These include multigene assays for invasive breast cancer (Oncotype DX, MammaPrint, Prosigna, and Breast Cancer Index) and ductal carcinoma in situ (Oncotype DX DCIS and DCISionRT) and companion tests to detect PIK3CA mutations and NTRK fusions. The various assays related to immune checkpoint inhibitors, consisting of immunohistochemistry with anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibodies SP142 and 22C3 and detection of microsatellite instability, mismatch repair deficiency, and tumor mutational burden are also discussed. Finally, the practical utility and hopeful promise of next-generation sequencing panels and circulating tumor (cell-free) DNA assays are evaluated. This review should serve as a useful and practical reference for practicing pathologists, molecular pathologists, clinicians, and researchers.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and approximately 71% of carcinomas are hormone receptor‐positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2‐not‐amplified (HER2‐negative). Pathogenesis of breast cancer is associated with dysregulation of several signaling pathways, including the phosphatidylinositol‐3‐kinase (PI3K) pathway. PIK3CA, the gene encoding PI3K catalytic subunit p110α, is mutated in 20%‐40% of breast cancer patients. Several PI3K inhibitors have been developed and one, alpelisib, was recently approved for use in PIK3CA‐mutated, HR+, HER2‐negative advanced breast cancer. There are numerous types of assays and methods used in clinical studies to determine PIK3CA status in cancers. Additionally, there are several factors to consider for PIK3CA testing in clinical practice, including choice of assay, source of sample, and test timing. In this review, we discuss the use of PIK3CA as a biomarker to guide treatment decisions in patients with HR+, HER2‐negative advanced breast cancer, as well as practical considerations and recommendations for testing.

Abstract
Breast carcinomas (BCs) are genetically heterogeneous and associated with numerous mutations which can be used to predict outcomes and initiate targeted therapies. We investigated clinicopathologic characteristics associated with gene mutations detected using the FoundationOne CDx assay in a cohort of 223 clinically advanced BCs (66 locally recurrent and 157 metastatic) from our institution. One hundred fifty unique mutations were identified (total 1008) in the cohort, with the most prevalent (>10%) including TP53 (53.8%), PIK3CA (35%), MYC (22%), CCND1 (19.7%), FGF19 (19.7%), FGF4 (16.6%), FGF3 (16.1%), ZNF703 (14.8%), ESR1 (13.9%), FGFR1 (13.5%), PTEN (12.1%), and CDH1 (10.8%). ERBB2 genetic alteration was most common in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive BCs, and GATA3 and ESR1 mutations were only identified in hormone receptor-positive BC. Mutations enriched in triple-negative BCs (TNBCs) included TP53, PTEN, RB1, and CDKN2A/B. CDH1 mutation was predominantly found in lobular carcinomas, and PIK3CA mutation was also enriched. Mutations enriched in metaplastic carcinomas with heterologous mesenchymal differentiation included TP53, PTEN, MCL1, CDKN2A/B, and NOTCH2. An increase in mutations of CCND1, FGF19, FGF4, FGF3, ESR1, and EMSY was identified in metastatic BCs compared with locally recurrent BCs. Overall, PIK3CA was the most frequent clinically actionable genetic alteration (35%), followed by MYC (22%), CCND1 (19.7%), and FGF3/FGF4/FGFR1 (16%). In conclusion, our study provides genetic insight into the biology of advanced BCs and summarizes their most frequent clinically actionable genetic alterations, generating useful genomic information for potential improvement of patient management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oncology has become more reliant on new testing methods and a greater use of electronic medical records, which provide a plethora of information available to physicians and researchers. However, to take advantage of vital clinical and research data for precision medicine, we must initially make an effort to create an infrastructure for the collection, storage, and utilization of this information with uniquely designed disease-specific registries that could support the collection of a large number of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we perform an in-depth analysis of a series of lung adenocarcinoma patients (n = 415) with genomic and clinical data in a recently created thoracic patient registry. RESULTS Of the 415 patients with lung adenocarcinoma, 59% (n = 245) were female; the median age was 64 (range, 22-92) years with a median OS of 33.29 months (95% CI, 29.77-39.48). The most common actionable alterations were identified in EGFR (n = 177/415 [42.7%]), ALK (n = 28/377 [7.4%]), and BRAF V600E (n = 7/288 [2.4%]). There was also a discernible difference in survival for 222 patients, who had an actionable alteration, with a median OS of 39.8 months as compared to 193 wild-type patients with a median OS of 26.0 months (P<0.001). We identified an unprecedented number of actionable alterations [53.5% (222/415)], including distinct individual alteration rates, as compared with 15.0% and 22.3% in TCGA and GENIE respectively. CONCLUSION The use of patient registries, focused genomic panels and the appropriate use of clinical guidelines in community and academic settings may influence cohort selection for clinical trials and improve survival outcomes.

Abstract
Breast Cancer is a complex disease characterized by the occurrence of multiple molecular alterations. Currently, some molecular markers are in use for breast cancer diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive purposes. Thus, genetic signatures are available for improving the decision-making. The biomarkers are also essential as therapeutic approaches, but many questions remain due to the lack of efficacy on breast cancer treatment, mainly for triple-negative breast cancer subtype. Since the genetic profile of breast cancer can also be related to different ethnic groups and geographic areas, the reference populations of the genetic assays and clinical trials need to include a broader population beyond the European and North American patients. In this review, we analyzed the current and potential molecular markers that could help to improve the strategies for breast cancer therapy.
