Abstract 4503
Background
Diagnosis and treatment of Cancer of Unknown Origin (CUP) continues to be a challenge. In the era of personalized medicine, genomic profile by Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) in addition to immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests may complement clinical features improving diagnosis and detecting targetable mutations. In the present study we have analysed the clinical utility of theOncoDEEP® CUP platformfor tissue of origin assessment and genotyping in a cohort of CUP patients.
Methods
We conducted this multicentric prospective exploratory study across 22 institutions (September 2017- March 2018). The cohort included 60 patients with histologically diagnosed metastatic CUP and available FFPE tumor samples. The molecular analysis was performed using the OncoDEEP® CUP platform, which includes a deep genomic tumor characterization as well as a panel of IHC tests.
Results
Patient’s median age was 60 years [24-80], 61.7% were females. At time of diagnosis,48% presented a single metastatic site whereas 52% has multimetastaticlocations. Predominant histology was adenocarcinoma (36.7%) followed by carcinoma NOS (25%), squamous cell carcinoma (13.3%) and others (25%). In 10% of the cases, the analysis could not be completed due to insufficient tumor samples. In the remaining 54 samples, a probable primary origin was assessed in 43 patients (80%). Potentially actionable mutations were found in 36 cases (61%). As expected, the most frequently mutated gene was TP53 (12/36), followed by KRAS, TPMT, ARID1A,BRAF, CDKN2A, PI3KCA, PTEN and STK11. During follow up 11 deaths have been recorded, whereas the rest of the patients remain in the study.
Conclusions
OncoDEEP® CUP may provide an opportunity for CUP patients to benefit from site-specific treatments and personalized therapies if druggable mutations are identified.
