Abstract 1639P
Background
Endoscopic fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is an effective tissue sampling modality for diagnosing pancreatic cancer. Genomic sequencing is becoming essential with the emerging targeted therapies in pancreatic cancer. However, the feasibility of commercial comprehensive next-generation sequencing on tissue obtained from EUS-FNB is unknown. We aimed to examine the success rate of genomic sequencing utilizing tissue from EUS-FNB and correlate it with procedural characteristics.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive cohort of patients who underwent a diagnostic EUS-FNB during the workup of a pancreatic mass, over five years, at our institution. Genomic results, patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and technical aspects of the EUS-FNB were reviewed. The successful completion of sequencing was defined as the generation and reporting of DNA sequencing results.
Results
A total of 396 patients underwent endoscopic ultrasound with pancreatic mass biopsy as part of the routine diagnostic workup. Tumor sequencing from the pancreatic EUS-FNB was requested from 101 patient samples. The remaining samples had no sequencing performed, or sequencing was requested on pancreatectomy samples and/or metastatic sites. Of the 101 patients, sequencing was successful in 88 samples (87%). The median number of needle passes to obtain sufficient tissue for completion of sequencing was 3 (range 1-5). Tumor purity information was available in 71 samples; the average purity was 32% (range 20-90%). Genomic sequencing was unsuccessful in the remaining 13 samples (13%) due to inadequate tissue. The median number of needle passes for these patients was 2 (range 1-5). The cancer stage distribution for patients whose tumor sequencing was requested from pancreatic biopsies was the following: I (9%), II (10%), III (14%), and IV (67%). Genomic sequencing results will be presented at the meeting.
Conclusions
Comprehensive genomic sequencing of all stages of pancreatic cancer is feasible on EUS-FNB. Increasing the number of needle passes can increase the yield for tumor genomic sequencing. This is particularly important for locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancers without alternative sites for tissue sampling.
