Peritoneal cell-free DNA as a sensitive biomarker for detection of peritoneal metastasis in colorectal cancer: a prospective diagnostic study: A prospective diagnostic study.
Clinical Epigenetics 2023 April 19
BACKGROUND: The detection of peritoneal metastasis (PM) is limited by current imaging tools. In this prospective study, we aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of peritoneal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for diagnosis of PM.
METHODS: Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with/without PM were enrolled. The cfDNA experimental personnel and statists were blinded to the diagnosis of PM. Ultradeep sequencing covering large genomic regions (35000X, Next-generation sequencing) of cfDNA in peritoneal lavage fluid (FLD) and matched tumor tissues was performed.
RESULTS: A total of 64 cases were recruited prospectively and 51 were enrolled into final analysis. In training cohort, 100% (17/17) PM patients obtained positive FLD cfDNA, comparing to 5/23 (21.7%) in patients without PM. Peritoneal cfDNA had a high sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 77.3% for diagnosis of PM (AUC: 0.95). In validation group of 11, 5/6 (83%) patients with PM obtained positive FLD cfDNA, comparing to 0/5 in non-PM (P = 0.031) with a sensitivity of 83.3% and specificity of 100%. Positive FLD cfDNA was associated with poor recurrence-free survival (P = 0.013) and was preceding radiographic evidence of recurrence.
CONCLUSIONS: Peritoneal cfDNA is a promising sensitive biomarker for earlier detection of PM in CRC than current radiological tools. It can potentially guide selection for targeted therapies and serve as a surrogate instead of laparoscopic explore in the future.
