Exploring the Genomic Landscape of Hepatobiliary Cancers to Establish a Novel Molecular Classification System.

ABSTRACT: Taxonomy of hepatobiliary cancer (HBC) categorizes tumors by location or histopathology (tissue of origin, TO). Tumors originating from different TOs can also be grouped by overlapping genomic alterations (GA) into molecular subtypes (MS). The aim of this study was to create novel HBC MSs. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) data from the AACR-GENIE database were used to examine the genomic landscape of HBCs. Machine learning and gene enrichment analysis identified MSs and their oncogenomic pathways. Descriptive statistics were used to compare subtypes and their associations with clinical and molecular variables. Integrative analyses generated three MSs with different oncogenomic pathways independent of TO (n = 324; p < 0.05). HC-1 "hyper-mutated-proliferative state" MS had rapi
