Longitudinal copy number variation analysis from plasma DNA of head and neck cancer patients under re-radiotherapy
Recurrent locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, receiving re-radiotherapy (re-RT), are presented with short progression-free (PFS) and overall survival. Hence, biomarkers predicting therapy failure are urgently needed. We analyzed copy number variations (CNVs) in blood plasma of HNC patients collected before, during and after re-RT. Detectable CNVs after five and ten fractions of re-irradiation as well as at the end of re-RT were associated with short PFS. Furthermore, we found that CNV kinetics in longitudinally collected plasma reflected therapy response and could detect disease progression in advance of radiographic tumor assessments.
