Diagnostic accuracy of liquid biopsy in endometrial cancer


ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION. Liquid biopsies are a minimally invasive collection of a patient body fluid sample. In oncology, they offer several advantages compared to traditional tissue biopsies. However, potential of this method in endometrial cancer (EC) remains poorly explored. We studied the utility of tumor educated platelets (TEPs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for preoperative EC diagnosis, including histology determination. MATERIALS AND METHODS. TEPs from 297 subjects (53 EC patients, 40 patients with benign gynecologic conditions and 204 healthy women) were RNA-sequenced. DNA sequencing was performed in 519 primary tumor tissue samples and in16 plasma samples. Artificial intelligence was applied to sample classification. RESULTS. Platelet-dedicated classifier yielded AUC of 93.1% in test set when discriminating between healthy subjects and cancer patients. However, the discrimination between endometrial cancer and benign gynecologic conditions was relatively low, with AUC of 60.7%. ctDNA-dedicated classifier discriminated primary tumor tissue samples with AUC of 91.4% and ctDNA blood samples with AUC of 87.5%. CONCLUSIONS Liquid biopsies show potential in EC diagnosis. Both TEPs and ctDNA profiles coupled with artificial intelligence constitute a source of useful information. Further work, involving more cases, is warranted.
