Personalized cancer treatment
• Immunotherapy to stimulate immune response to cancer
PD-1 inhibitors
PD-L1 inhibitors
CTLA-4 inhibitors
• Targeted therapy with designer drugs that target the genetic cause of the tumor
mAB: Herceptin
TKI: Gleevec

Treatment of Malignant melanoma
• surgery• radiation• Chemotherapy• Targeted treatment
– BRAF inhibitor (Vemurafenib)– MEK inhibitor
• Immunotherapy – Interferon (IFN) alfa-2b, IL2 (interleukin 2) – CTLA-4 inhibitors (Ipilimumab)– PD-1 inhibitors (Pembrolizumab and nivolumab)

Few biomarkers (companion diagnostics)
• Designer drugs
Expensive (50-100.000 Euro/year)
Biomarkers (companion diagnostics)

Problems in personalized cancer treatment
The very high cost of personalised treatment makes
companion diagnostics (cancer biomarkers) necessary

Malignant melanoma
• Melanoma is a malignant tumor of melanocytes.
• Fifth most common cancer in men and the seventh in women
• 76.100 new cases in 2014 in the US
• 9.710 deaths in 2014 in the US
• Five-year survival rates for patients with metastatic disease < 10%
![Page 17: DNA diagnosis in malignant melanoma Patrick Willems GENDIA Antwerp, Belgium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0d5503460f94c20bba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Personalised targeted treatment of MM
Personalised targeted treatment
inhibits specific somatic mutations
that cause MM
These mutations are patient-specific
These mutations can be detected
by molecular studies of
tumor material (biopsy)
blood (liquid biopsy)
![Page 18: DNA diagnosis in malignant melanoma Patrick Willems GENDIA Antwerp, Belgium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0d5503460f94c20bba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why liquid biopsies for MM ?
• Common cancer
• High mortality
• High load of driver oncogenic mutations
• Druggable targets
![Page 19: DNA diagnosis in malignant melanoma Patrick Willems GENDIA Antwerp, Belgium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0d5503460f94c20bba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Inheritance of cancer
• Breast Cancer : 10 %• Colon cancer : 5-10 %• Prostate cancer : low• Lung cancer : very low
• Melanoma : 10 %
Majority of cancers are caused by genetic anomalies in the tumor
(somatic mutations)
Minority of cancers is inherited (germline mutations) :

Why perform genetic studies on tumor DNA ?
• Initial diagnosis and prognosis
• Monitoring recurrence – metastasis
![Page 41: DNA diagnosis in malignant melanoma Patrick Willems GENDIA Antwerp, Belgium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0d5503460f94c20bba/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
On which tissue should genetic studies be performed ?
• If melanoma occurs in different family members :
Genetic studies on DNA from blood to identify a germline mutation :
CDKN2A - CDK4 (melanoma)
BAP1 (uveal melanoma, mesothelioma)
• If melanoma is sporadic :
Genetic studies on Tumor DNA or liquid biopsy to identify a somatic mutation
BRAF
NRAS
KIT
.
![Page 42: DNA diagnosis in malignant melanoma Patrick Willems GENDIA Antwerp, Belgium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0d5503460f94c20bba/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Genetic studies to identify somatic mutations
• FFPE material of the tumor
Analysis of DNA
from Formaldehyde Fixed-Paraffin Embedded
Melanoma tissue
• Liquid biopsy
Analysis of DNA from circulating tumor cells in blood (ctDNA)
![Page 43: DNA diagnosis in malignant melanoma Patrick Willems GENDIA Antwerp, Belgium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0d5503460f94c20bba/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Ct DNA
cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is released from healthy, inflamed or cancerous tissue undergoing apoptosis or necrosis
circulating tumor (ctDNA) is only a small fraction of cfDNA in blood
![Page 44: DNA diagnosis in malignant melanoma Patrick Willems GENDIA Antwerp, Belgium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0d5503460f94c20bba/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
cell-free DNA (cfDNA)
• Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma of healthy individuals : Mandel and Métais (1948)
• A proportion of cfDNA in pregnant women is fetus-derived (cffDNA) : Lo et al. (1997)
• Non-Invasive Prenatal testing (NIPT) : 2012 : start
2015 : > 1 million tests
Market : 4 billion USD
• Increased concentrations of cfDNA in the circulation of cancer patients : Leon et al. (1977)
• A proportion of cfDNA is tumor-derived : Stroun et al. (1987)
• Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing (liquid biopsy) : 2015 : start
Market : 40 billion USD
![Page 45: DNA diagnosis in malignant melanoma Patrick Willems GENDIA Antwerp, Belgium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0d5503460f94c20bba/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Advantages of liquid biopsies vs FFPE
• No biopsy needed
• Better representation of :
• Total mutation load• Mutations in metastatic cells• Reaction to therapy• Development of resistance
