Abstract

PURPOSE: We developed a precision medicine program for patients with advanced cancer using integrative whole-exome sequencing and transcriptome analysis.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Five hundred fifteen patients with locally advanced/metastatic solid tumors were prospectively enrolled, and paired tumor/normal sequencing was performed. Seven hundred fifty-nine tumors from 515 patients were evaluated.

RESULTS: Most frequent tumor types were prostate (19.4%), brain (16.5%), bladder (15.4%), and kidney cancer (9.2%). Most frequently altered genes were (33%), (11%), (10%), (8%), (8%), and (8%). Pathogenic germline alterations were present in 10.7% of patients, most frequently (1.9%), (1.5%), (1.5%), and (1.4%). Novel gene fusions were identified, including a fusion in a metastatic prostate cancer sample. The rate of clinically relevant alterations was 39% by whole-exome sequencing, which was improved by 16% by adding RNA sequencing. In patients with more than one sequenced tumor sample (n = 146), 84.62% of actionable mutations were concordant.

CONCLUSION: Integrative analysis may uncover informative alterations for an advanced pan-cancer patient population. These alterations are consistent in spatially and temporally heterogeneous samples.
