Sarcomas are a rare and heterogeneous tumor group composed of a variety of histologic subtypes. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of bone and soft tissue sarcomas is a nascent field with limited evidence for its use within clinical practice. Therefore, further research is needed to validate NGS in sarcoma and assess the clinical utility of these techniques with the hope of improving treatment options. Comprehensive molecular profiling with NGS was performed on 136 tumors (116 soft tissue, 20 bone) using two commercial vendors. Patient records were retrospectively reviewed, and the clinical impact of NGS-related findings were qualitatively analyzed to determine actionable mutations and number of changes in treatment. The median age was 55.0 years (IQR 42-67 years), and most patients were non-metastatic at presentation (80.9%, = 110). Prior to performing NGS, 72.1% ( = 98) were treated with a mean 1.1 ± 1.2 lines of systemic chemotherapy. NGS identified 341 putative alterations with at least one mutation present in 89.7% ( = 122) of samples. In a subset of 111 patients with available TMB data, 78.7% ( = 107) had a low (<6 m/Mb) mutational burden. Among all 136 cases, 47.1% ( = 64) contained clinically actionable alterations, and 12 patients had a change in medical treatment based on NGS. Those who underwent a treatment change all had metastatic or recurrent disease; three of these patients experienced a clinical benefit. Most bone and soft tissue sarcomas harbor at least one genetic alteration, and it appears a sizeable number of tumors contain mutations that are clinically actionable. While a change in treatment based off NGS-related findings occurred in 12 cases, three patients experienced a clinical benefit. Our data provide further proof-of-concept for NGS in sarcoma and suggest a clinical benefit may be observed in select patients.
肉瘤是一组罕见且异质性的肿瘤,由多种组织学亚型组成。对骨和软组织肉瘤进行靶向下一代测序(NGS)是一个新兴领域,其在临床实践中的应用证据有限。因此,需要进一步研究以验证 NGS 在肉瘤中的应用,并评估这些技术的临床效用,以期改善治疗选择。对 136 例肿瘤(116 例软组织肉瘤,20 例骨肉瘤)采用两种商业供应商的技术进行了综合分子谱分析。回顾性分析了患者的病历,并对 NGS 相关发现的临床影响进行了定性分析,以确定可操作的突变和治疗改变的数量。中位年龄为 55.0 岁(IQR 42-67 岁),大多数患者在就诊时无转移(80.9%, = 110)。在进行 NGS 之前,72.1%( = 98)的患者接受了平均 1.1±1.2 线的系统化疗。NGS 确定了 341 个假定的改变,在 89.7%( = 122)的样本中至少存在一个突变。在 111 例可获得 TMB 数据的患者亚组中,78.7%( = 107)的患者具有低(<6 m/Mb)突变负担。在所有 136 例病例中,47.1%( = 64)含有临床可操作的改变,有 12 例患者因 NGS 而改变了治疗方法。所有进行治疗改变的患者均患有转移性或复发性疾病;其中 3 例患者获得了临床获益。大多数骨和软组织肉瘤至少携带一种遗传改变,而且似乎相当数量的肿瘤携带可临床操作的突变。虽然有 12 例病例根据 NGS 相关发现改变了治疗方法,但有 3 例患者获得了临床获益。我们的数据进一步证明了 NGS 在肉瘤中的应用,并表明在某些患者中可能观察到临床获益。
