• Sensitive urothelial cancer detection via high volume urine DNA analysis

  Cystoscopy and imaging are the gold standard for urothelial cancer (UC) detection and surveillance, but cystoscopy is an uncomfortable procedure associated with adverse effects and a low diagnostic yield as only 10% of hematuria patients have UC. Urine tumor DNA (utDNA) is a non-invasive UC biomarker that has suffered from poor sensitivity for Ta stage tumors (<80%). We hypothesized that high urine volume analysis with a multi-gene panel could overcome these limitations, and developed a 100 mL utDNA laboratory platform (UroScout) that analyzes 25 commonly mutated UC genes and 8 copy number-altered loci for somatic alterations to detect UC.

• Whole exome sequencing of pre-invasive lung adenocarcinoma in non-smokers

  The prevalence of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has increased sharply in East Asia. Early diagnosis leads to better survival rates, but this requires an improved understanding of the molecular changes during early tumorigenesis, particularly in non-smokers. We performed whole exome-sequencing and RNA-sequencing for samples from 94 East Asian patients with precancerous lesions (25 with atypical adenomatous hyperplasia [AAH]; 69 with adenocarcinoma in situ [AIS]) and 73 patients with early invasive lesions (minimally invasive adenocarcinoma [MIA]). Cellular analysis revealed that the activities of endothelial and stromal cells could categorize tumors into molecular subtypes within pathology-defined lesion types. These subtypes were linked with the advanced radiology-defined lesion type and coordinated with immune cell infiltration throughout the progression of LUAD. Characterization of these lesion types identified positively selected mutation patterns, and suggested that angiogenesis of the late-stage AIS type potentially contributes to tissue invasion of the MIA type. Our findings offer a novel resource that may help to improve early diagnosis and patient prognosis, and also suggest possible approaches for early disease interception.

• Tumor Evolution Analysis Uncovered Immune-Escape Related Mutations in Relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

  More than 60% of patients with primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) achieve durable remissions upon the chemoimmunotherapy with R-CHOP. However, the outcome of the relapse patients is extremely poor. To characterize the molecular features that underlie treatment resistance, we performed whole-exome sequencing (n=44) and deep targeted sequencing (n=27) of 44 diagnosis-relapse DLBCL pairs. We found that the overall landscape of genetic alterations was concordant between diagnosis and relapse DLBCL. By a deep comparison of the longitudinal sequencings, we identified relapse-enriched mutations that involved in evasion of immune surveillance (CD58, TNFRSF14, PKD1, FAS), resistance to DNA damaging agents (ATM, TP53), and critical tumor suppressor gene (ZFHX3). Knockdown of ATM and ZFHX3 resulted in increased drug resistance in both germinal center B cell like (GCB) and activated B cell like (ABC) DLBCL cell lines in vitro, while the knockdown of TNFRSF14 and FAS conferred resistance specifically in GCB cell lines. Furthermore, we summarized two evolutionary patterns of DLBCL relapse as the “durable retention” model with stable clone structure, and the “selective sweep” model which exhibited significant clonal switch. Of note, genetic alterations leading to attenuated immune responses usually presented as trunk mutations in the “durable retention” model (7/12) while were newly acquired or expanded upon relapse in the “selective sweep” model (9/16). Overall, our study demonstrated that relapse DLBCL derives from distinct clonal evolutionary patterns, and highlighted immune escape as an important contributor of tumor relapse.

• Whole-exome sequencing identifies new pathogenic germline variants in patients with colorectal polyposis

  Adenomatous polyposis confers an increased risk of colorectal cancer development. Here, we investigated probably underlying predisposition variants in patients with suspected colorectal polyposis without variants in APC and MUTYH genes by whole exome sequencing (WES). Twenty-seven patients were included and subjected to germline WES. After filtering out variants for sequencing quality, variant allele fraction frequency, and population frequency, variants were manually prioritized by the ACMG criteria. Among the variants identified, 17 were classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic (in 12 patients). This study gives information of probably associated polyposis variants in Brazilian patients without germline pathogenic variants in APC and MUTYH genes, supporting the utilization of next-generation sequencing for screening in these patients beyond these genes.

• Reconstructing oral cavity tumor evolution through brush biopsy

  Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) with genomic alterations have a heightened risk of evolving into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Currently, genomic data are typically obtained through invasive tissue biopsy. However, brush biopsy is a non-invasive method that has been utilized for identifying dysplastic cells in OPMD but its effectiveness in reflecting the genomic landscape of OPMDs remains uncertain. This pilot study investigates the potential of brush biopsy samples in accurately reconstructing the genomic profile and tumor evolution in a patient with both OPMD and OSCC. We analyzed single nucleotide variants (SNVs), copy number aberrations (CNAs), and subclonal architectures in paired tissue and brush biopsy samples. The results showed that brush biopsy effectively captured 90% of SNVs and had similar CNA profiles as those seen in its paired tissue biopsies in all lesions. It was specific, as normal buccal mucosa did not share these genomic alterations. Interestingly, brush biopsy revealed shared SNVs and CNAs between the distinct OPMD and OSCC lesions from the same patient, indicating a common ancestral origin. Subclonal reconstruction confirmed this shared ancestry, followed by divergent evolution of the lesions. These findings highlight the potential of brush biopsies in accurately representing the genomic profile of OPL and OSCC, proving insight into reconstructing tumor evolution.

  Arcagen is an EORTC/SPECTA pan-European project that aims to recruit 1000 rare cancer patients from different tumour domains of EURACAN. This study collected samples from advanced or metastatic rare cancer from patients older than 12, and analysed them using Foundation Medicine next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels (FoundationOne CDx for FFPE samples or FoundationOne Liquid CDx for blood samples). Here were are submitting the dataset that contains NGS files from patients with extra-pulmonary neuroendocrine tumour or cancer grade 3 (NET / NEC G3) (n=85).
