Abstract
Abstract Background: The detection of circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA) has been examined as a predictor of postoperative recurrence and survival in lung cancer patients. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have potent for searching a new target to cancers. Objective: To analyze the association between cfDNA/EVs and prognosis after lung cancer surgery. Methods: We retrospectively examined patient background, disease-free survival, overall survival, and preoperative cfDNA in lung cancer patients who underwent surgery at Kanazawa University Hospital between January 2017 and May 2020, in whom preoperative chemotherapy was not administered. We extracted cfDNA from 4 ml plasma within 7 days before surgery and measured its concentration. EVs were extracted from 500 μl serum via Tim4 protein. Proteins included in EVs were analyzed by mass spectrometry. Results: 285 patients were included, 179 males and 106 females, median age 71(36-88) years, and 8 patients had SCLC. EGFRm- positive lung cancer was included in 93 cases (32.6%). The pStage0/l/ll/lll/lV of NSCLC was 7/187/42/36/6 respectively, and the pStagel/ll/lll of SCLC was 4/1/3 respectively. The mDFS of NSCLC was 14.6 (7.8-29.7)/21.5 (8.5-NA) months in pStage lll/lV, respectively. mOS was 53.3 (28.7-NA) months in pStage lll and was not achieved in other stages. The mDFS of SCLC was 19.8 (1.9-NA)/NA/5.7 (1.9-NA) months in pStage l/ll/lll, respectively. mOS was NA/NA/9.3 (9.3-NA) months, respectively. cfDNA was detected in 283 (99.2%) patients, with a concentration of 4.7 (0-60.0) ng/μl. The correlation coefficient between cfDNA concentration and DFS/OS in NSCLC was -0.023 (P=0.70)/-0.014 (P=0.81). The correlation coefficient between cfDNA concentration and DFS/OS for SCLC was -0.86 (P=0.024)/-0.89 (P=0.012). No recurrence was observed in patients in whom cfDNA was not detected.EVs were detectable from pre-operative serum samples, and the proteins included in these were different, whether disease was recurrent or not. Conclusion: The cfDNA concentration did not correlate with DFS/OS in post-operative NSCLC, whereas it correlated negatively with DFS/OS in SCLC. In the presentation, we will further discuss about the concrete genetic alterations and protein expression, based on the cfDNA sequencing and proteomics analysis.
