Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits the poorest prognosis of all solid tumors, with a 5-year survival of less than 10%. To improve the prognosis, it is necessary to advance in the development of tools that help us in the early diagnosis, treatment selection, disease monitoring, evaluation of the response and prognosis. Liquid biopsy (LB), in its different modalities, represents a particularly interesting tool for these purposes, since it is a minimally invasive and risk-free procedure that can detect both the presence of genetic material from the tumor and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood and therefore distantly reflect the global status of the disease. In this work we review the current status of the main LB modalities (ctDNA, exosomes, CTCs and cfRNAs) for detecting and monitoring PDAC.

AbstractOne epigenetic hallmark of many cancer types is differential DNA methylation occurring at multiple loci compared to normal tissue. Detection and assessment of the methylation state at a specific locus could be an effective cancer diagnostic. We assessed the effectiveness of hypermethylation at the CpG island of ZNF154, a previously reported multi-cancer specific signature for use in a blood-based cancer detection assay. To predict its effectiveness, we compared methylation levels of 3698 primary tumors encompassing 11 solid cancers, 724 controls, 2711 peripheral blood cell samples, and 350 noncancer disease tissues from publicly available methylation array datasets. We performed a single-molecule high-resolution DNA melt analysis on 71 plasma samples from cancer patients and 20 noncancer individuals to assess ZNF154 methylation as a candidate diagnostic metric in liquid biopsy and compared results to KRAS mutation frequency in the case of pancreatic carcinoma. We documented ZNF154 hypermethylation in early stage tumors, which did not increase in most noncancer disease or with respect to age or sex in peripheral blood cells, suggesting it is a promising target in liquid biopsy. ZNF154 cfDNA methylation discriminated cases from healthy donor plasma samples in minimal plasma volumes and outperformed KRAS mutation frequency in pancreatic cancer.

Patients with stage IV of pancreatic cancer were locally irradiated by 51 Gy total dose (fraction dose was 3 Gy). Gemcytabin, gemsar + carboplatin, or carboplatin + etoposid + 5-fluorouracil were intraarterially administered as chemotherapy preparations. DNA radiosensitivity biomarkers in patient blood were determined before the treatment start. There was revealed interrelation between value of biochemical index and life span patient. The DNA blood radiosensitivity index determinations are enabled to predict personally the results more success treatment in patients with pancreatic cancer after the use of abovementioned regimens of chemoradiotherapy.
