Multi-Gene Panel Testing for Hereditary Cancer Predisposition Among Patients Sixty-Five Years and Above Diagnosed With Breast Cancer.
Background: The availability and affordability of germline genetic testing (GGT) has resulted in a broader utilization in daily clinical practice. However, adherence to testing guidelines is low, especially among older patients, where testing is often not offered.
Methods: In this study, consecutive, newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer (BC) aged ≥ 65 years and eligible for GGT, as per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines (version 1, 2021), were invited to participate, from March 2021 to December 2022. Patients were offered a restricted (two- or 20-gene panel), or an expanded 84-gene panel.
Results: During the study period, 204 patients were enrolled. The mean (standard deviation (SD)) age at BC diagnosis was 70.5 (5.13) years, ranging 65 - 81 years. All patients were Arab and the majority were Jordanian. The majority (n = 188, 92.2%) had early-stage (stages I and II) disease. One hundred three (50.5%) patients were tested with a restricted two-gene (n = 13) or 20-gene (n = 90) panel, while the remaining 101 (49.5%) patients had an expanded 84-gene panel. Family history of close blood relative(s) with BC was the most common indication for testing (n = 110, 53.9%). Among the entire study cohort, 22 (10.8%) had pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) and another 97 (47.5%) had ≥ 1 variants of uncertain significance (VUS). PGV rates were significantly higher with the expanded panel (14.9%) compared to restricted testing (6.8%) (P = 0.032). Similarly, VUS rates were significantly higher with the expanded panel (64.4%) compared to the restricted panel (31.1%) (P < 0.001). The most prevalent genes with PGVs were BRCA1/2 (31.3% of all PGV-positive patients), CHEK2 (23.1%) and ATM (19.2%).
Conclusion: GGT should not be overlooked in older BC patients, as this study demonstrates that > 10% of patients have PGVs, largely in potentially actionable genes.
期刊介绍：
World Journal of Oncology, bimonthly, publishes original contributions describing basic research and clinical investigation of cancer, on the cellular, molecular, prevention, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis aspects. The submissions can be basic research or clinical investigation oriented. This journal welcomes those submissions focused on the clinical trials of new treatment modalities for cancer, and those submissions focused on molecular or cellular research of the oncology pathogenesis. Case reports submitted for consideration of publication should explore either a novel genomic event/description or a new safety signal from an oncolytic agent. The areas of interested manuscripts are these disciplines: tumor immunology and immunotherapy; cancer molecular pharmacology and chemotherapy; drug sensitivity and resistance; cancer epidemiology; clinical trials; cancer pathology; radiobiology and radiation oncology; solid tumor oncology; hematological malignancies; surgical oncology; pediatric oncology; molecular oncology and cancer genes; gene therapy; cancer endocrinology; cancer metastasis; prevention and diagnosis of cancer; other cancer related subjects. The types of manuscripts accepted are original article, review, editorial, short communication, case report, letter to the editor, book review.
