AbstractCirculating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) consists of small fragments of DNA that circulate freely in the bloodstream. In cancer patients, a fraction of cfDNA is derived from tumour cells, therefore containing the same genetic and epigenetic alterations, and is termed circulating cell-free tumour DNA. The potential use of cfDNA, the so-called ‘liquid biopsy’, as a non-invasive cancer biomarker has recently received a lot of attention. The present review will focus on studies concerning the potential clinical applications of cfDNA in ovarian cancer patients.

Immune Checkpoints

IntroductionEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest gynecologic malignancy worldwide. Reliable predictive biomarkers are urgently needed to estimate the risk of relapse and to improve treatment management. Soluble immune-checkpoints in EOC are promising molecules serving as prognostic biomarkers accessible via liquid biopsy. We thus, aimed at elucidating the role of sB7-H4 in EOC.Material and MethodsWe analyzed soluble serum B7-H4 (sB7-H4) using ELISA and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood applying the AdnaTest OvarianCancer in 85 patients suffering from advanced EOC. Findings were correlated with clinical parameters as well as survival data.ResultssB7-H4 was detectable in 14.1% patients, CTCs in 32.9% patients and simultaneous presence of CTCs and sB7-H4 was found in 7% patients, respectively. Although no association between sB7-H4 and CTC could be documented, each of them served as independent predictive factors for overall survival (OS).ConclusionsB7-H4 and CTCs are independent prognostic biomarkers for impaired survival in EOC. As they are easily accessible via liquid biopsy, they may be of potential benefit for the prediction of therapy response and survival for EOC patients.

e17033 Background: Calretinin (CRT) is a calcium-binding protein, controlling intracellular calcium signaling. Besides its prominent expression in neurons, CRT has diagnostic implications in cancer, particularly in mesothelioma. In a recent liquid biopsy approach, plasma CRT level has been suggested for pre-diagnostic detection of mesothelioma. CRT is also expressed in serous ovarian cancer in about 23% of cases; however, clinical relevance of serum CRT is completely unknown and shall therefore be analyzed, herein. Methods: Serum calretinin (sCRT) was determined by calretinin enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (DLD-Diagnostika GmbH, Hamburg) in a total of 380 serum samples from 134 ovarian cancer patients (thereof n = 115 (86%) with FIGO III or IV), including samples at primary diagnosis and at 4 follow-up reading points in the course of adjuvant treatment. Results: sCRT levels were significantly increased in ovarian cancer patients compared to healthy controls (ED = 0.3ng/ml, p < 0.001) and enabled an accurate discrimination between ovarian cancer and controls (AUC = 0.85). High sCRT levels at primary diagnosis predicted suboptimal debulking surgery without achieving macroscopically complete tumor resection (p < 0.001) and were associated with advanced FIGO-stage (p < 0.001) and high volume of ascites (p < 0.001). Increased sCRT levels at primary diagnosis were an independent predictor of poor PFS (HR:1.99, p = 0.018) and also indicated poor OS (HR:2.49, p = 0.008). Increased sCRT levels before and after platinum-based chemotherapy were independent predictors of poor OS (HR:15.4, p = 0.01; HR:5.59, p = 0.026). Moreover, elevated sCRT levels at primary diagnosis indicated platinum-resistance (p = 0.002). Conclusions: This is the first study, suggesting sCRT as an innovative liquid biopsy marker for ovarian cancer by showing its independent prognostic relevance and its association with primary platinum-resistance.
