The most prevalent
cancer in female
Mortality 4th in Taiwan
Treatment of Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer

Current Tools for Follow-up

Expensive
Time consuming
Inconvenient
Inconclusive
May not informative in several months
Reasonably sensitive, not always reflect tumor
response or progression
Standard serologic test

Such as AST and ALT, LDH

Circulating soluble-tumor–associated
protein biomarkers
CEA, CA 15-3
 CA 15-3, soluble forms of
MUC(cell surface associated )-1 protein

Circulation tumor cells

In 2004, pts with fewer CTC lived longer than with
N Engl J Med 351(8):781–791.
more CTC
177 Pts with metastatic breast cancer

Cancer

IC 2006-04 enrolled prospectively 267 metastatic breast
cancer pts.

Circulation tumor DNA
Circulating tumor DNA

In a study in China, 46 of 126 primary breast
cancer pts have p53 mutation in the peripheral
blood

Circulating tumor DNA


Specific mutation and structural variation in primary
tumor cell
142 breast cancer pts ( not disseminated) was
analyzed at diagnosis
Clin Cancer Res 2002;8:3761-3766.
Method



Prospective, single-center study
Compare circulating tumor DNA, CA 15-3, circulating
tumor cell
Tagged-amplicon deep sequencing for PIK3CA
(encoding the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3kinase, catalytic subunit alpha protein) and TP53
(encoding tumor protein p53) or paired-end wholegenome sequencing


p53 mutations are found in 50–75% of breast carcinoma
patients
Science (Wash. DC), 253: 49–53, 1991.
Serial blood samples(30ml) every 3 or more weeks

Conclusion





Circulating tumor DNA shows superior sensitivity and
has a greater dynamic range that correlates with tumor
burden
Circulating tumor DNA provide earliest measure of
treatment response
Identification of somatic alteration is needed
Target sequencing could be expanded in addition to
PIK3CA and TP53 when the cost reduced
There are many ways to identify tumor DNA : digital
PCR assay, targeted deep sequencing, exome
sequencing, BEAMing, Safe-SeqS…
Future

Target like BCR/ABL may be found and develop
new target therapy!!
Thanks for Your Attention!!
