Abstract 4664: Massively parallel sequencing-based analysis of synchronous gastric cancer and lung cancer

Abstract

Abstract Synchronous gastric cancer(GC) and lung cancer(LC) have been suggested to represent independent primary tumors rather than metastatic disease. We subjected sporadic synchronous GC/LC from five patients to whole-exome massively parallel sequencing, which revealed a median of and 1174 and 830 nonsynonymous somatic mutations in the synchronous GC and LC repectively. DNA mutations range between 292 to 2421 in lung samples and 287 to 1995 in stomach sample. Common mutations varies between 41 and 145. The substitution of C>A, C>T and T>C accounts for the most common mutations in both lung and stomach cancers. Tumor mutation burden (TMB ) varies from 2.7 to 11.0 Mut/Mb in Lung cancer and from 1.8 to 30.4 Mut/Mb in gastric cancer. We further did pathway analysis based on the list of mutant genes. Top 20 pathways enriched in each patient were analyzed. We found MAPK signaling pathway was most commonly enriched pathways in lung cancer patients, whereas PI3K-Akt signaling and Hedgehog signaling pathway were most commonly enriched pathways in stomach cancer patients. This result suggests the potential benefit of targeted therapeutic treatments involved in these pathways. Citation Format: Nandie Wu, Rutian Li, Yang Shao, Lifeng Wang, Baorui Liu, Jia Wei.
