Abstract
Multi-cancer genome profiling (multi-CGP) testing intends to predict the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer medication treatments for eligible patients as part of "precision cancer care." The number of cases in which a new treatment was applied based on multi-CGP testing has been reported to be between 10% and 20% for all patients in Japan. This study aimed to determine the significance of multi-CGP testing in Japan by analyzing clinical data from multi-CGP testing in various solid cancers at our Hospital. A total of 230 patients examined by one of three tests for multi-CGP including NCC Oncopanel, FoundationOne CDx, and FoundationOne Liquid were retrospectively enrolled. Adequate treatment for each patient was discussed at the expert panel meeting according to the results from the genome profiling tests. The most frequent cancer types enrolled in this study were pancreas cancer, bowel cancer, and biliary cancer. Of the 230 cases, 106 (46%) were druggable cases, and 21 (9.1%) were administered medication. Partial response (PR) effect was found in 7 (33.3%) of the 21 cases, of which 3 were biliary cancer and 3 had a BRCA2 mutation. Of all the 21 cases, 7 (33.3%) had the maximum treatment benefit of PR. Three cases of biliary tumors were found in the 7 PR cases within the 21 cases. Of 230 patients, 21 were administered medication following multi-CGP testing data, especially frequent in biliary tumor patients. Multi-CGP testing might be particularly beneficial to patients with biliary tumors in Japan.
