| الوصف: | Background and Rationale: Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is a cause of major morbidity and mortality in many solid malignancies. Therapeutic options are limited and include radiation therapy as well as intrathecal administration of cytotoxic agents. Accordingly, novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities are needed in order to improve the prognosis of patients diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. Liquid biopsies are safe and offer great potential to define actionable targets in a variety of cancers. However, a role for liquid biopsies from cerebral spine fluid (CSF) has not been defined to date. Patients and Methods: CSF samples from ten consecutive patients diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis were collected as part of clinical routine and evaluated by next generation sequencing. All cases were discussed in the Molecular Tumorboard (MTB) as part of the “Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy” unit at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich. Results: Samples from patients diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma (1), ewing's sarcoma (1), breast (5), lung (2) and gastric cancer (1) were submitted for panel sequencing. Sequencing was technically successful in nine out of ten patients and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) was found in all of these nine patients. Of note, ctDNA was also detectable in cases in which microscopy did not reveal malignant cells in the CSF sample (4/10 cases). Tumorigenic alterations were found in seven out of these nine patients. Importantly, NGS of cerebral spine fluid detected previously unknown and therapeutically relevant alterations in this cohort. Case discussion in the Molecular Tumorboard led to therapeutic recommendations in three cases and targeted therapy was ultimately initiated in one case. Conclusions: Next generation sequencing from cerebral spine fluid is feasible in clinical practice and yields tumorigenic alterations in a large fraction of patients. Importantly, our approach demonstrated the therapeutic relevance of this approach in patients with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
