"Sequencing of cell-free DNA in the blood of cancer patients (liquid biopsy) provides attractive opportunities for early diagnosis, assessment of treatment response, and minimally invasive disease monitoring." This study included 200 plasma samples from 95 patients with ES, most of whom took part in the EWING2008 trial.
They showed that "whole-genome sequencing of cfDNA (when combined with suitable computational methods, some of which we developed here) provides a one-size-fits-all assay for liquid biopsy analysis, allowing us to: (i) detect tumor-derived DNA with high sensitivity and without requiring any somatic mutations or CNAs; (ii) distinguish between different cancer types based on their characteristic epigenetic signatures; (iii) monitor CNAs and disease progression over time; (iv) assess treatment-induced toxicity and organ damage based on cfDNA released from dying cells; and (v) estimate survival and relapse probabilities at diagnosis. Importantly, our approach is practically feasible in a clinical setting, requires less than 10 ng of cfDNA, profits from falling sequencing costs, does not require access of primary tumor tissue, and is informative even in the absence of any genetic alterations".
