A Pan-Tumor Assay
for Solid Tumors
Pan-Tumor Assay for Solid Tumors
GTC’s Liquid Trace Solid Tumor is a highly sensitive pan-cancer test that evaluates cell-free RNA and DNA (cfRNA and cfDNA), providing highly informative data that can be used for diagnoses, evaluating the host immune response, and identifying biomarkers for predicting responses to various therapies.
Furthermore, Liquid Trace Solid Tumor may provide additional information on changes not detected with tissue biopsies, including germline mutations and mutations in the subclones not present in the tissue sample (heterogeneity).
Examples of types of solid tumors Liquid Trace can detect:
- Lung
- Brain
- Breast
- Thyroid
- Colon
- Oropharyngeal tumors
- Pancreatic
- Ovarian
- Prostate
Many conventional liquid biopsy tests are dependent solely on cfDNA analysis, which presents multiple challenges. These include variations in DNA shedding between tumors as well as low sensitivity (especially in early-stage cancer), difficulty in detecting fusion genes (i.e., chromosomal translocations leading to the expression of chimeric mRNA from two genes), and inability to detect the numerous biological processes that modify RNA expression levels, such as alternative splicing, stability, and allele-specific methylation. The latter limitation is critically important as recent studies have shown that RNA testing provides another level of biological information regarding the tumor and its microenvironment.

The Benefits of cfRNA
Studies have found RNA sequencing to be more sensitive for some types of mutations, likely because cancer cells typically contain one copy of mutated DNA but numerous copies of RNA. This research is consistent with GTC’s findings that cfRNA has increased sensitivity over cfDNA alone. More specifically, cfRNA allows GTC’s Liquid Trace to detect mutations and fusions in hematologic and solid tumor samples that may be undetected with conventional cfDNA testing.
T-cell and B-cell Clonality Detection: The detection of T- and B-cell clonality is important because it can help diagnose and monitor certain types of malignancies. When malignant transformation occurs in a T- or B-cell, the cells can undergo uncontrolled clonal expansion, resulting in the accumulation of many cells with the identical T- or B-cell receptor.
HLA Class I Genotyping: Useful when identifying patients who may be candidates for immunotherapy.
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV): Important for diagnosis and classification of lymphoid neoplasms and some solid tumors.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV): Chronic infection with high-risk HPV subtypes is associated with increased risk of anogenital and oropharyngeal cancer. Detection of HPV mRNA suggests active (productive) infection.
Torque Teno Virus (TTV): This virus was first discovered in a patient with non-A-E hepatitis and is now regarded as a part of the human virome. In general, TTV does not cause pathology in immunocompetent individuals. This virus is considered as a marker of the degree of immune competence in patients with immunological impairment and inflammatory disorders. High TTV load is associated with increased risk of infection. In patients with organ transplant, low TTV load is associated with an increased risk of rejection.
Sensitivity is 0.1 to 0.01 for non-hot spot, 0.01 to 0.001 for hotspot and <0.001 for tumor informed or prior Hx.
For DNA, QNS is rare (<0.1%), but it is higher for RNA (Good DNA results but poor RNA results. Of course, if we receive 3 ml of plasma (6 ml blood), the sample is QNS for performing RNA testing.
VAF (Variant Allele Frequency) value: This value is used to monitor the disease or to evaluate MRD in liquid bx. The high the VAF means higher tumor load. Patients showing reduction in VAF after treatment means they are doing better.
GTC uses AI in every step of our analysis and it makes a difference in helping make a new discovery daily that improves patient care.
Once the data is offloaded from the sequencer, our AI:
- Assists with mutation analysis, identifying non-mutations and artifacts
- Compares various data sets to explore disease biology
- Provides support for clinical decision-making and classification of the disease
- It helps with matching patients to therapeutics and presents clinical trial options
- Aggregates data for report generation and simplifies the results so they are easily understood
Case Study: Prostate Cancer
Background
Prostate cancer is one of the most common solid tumors among men. Multiple therapies have been introduced to improve survival and symptom control. Analysis of tumor cfDNA and cfRNA in the blood, using liquid biopsies, has become an important tool in the management of prostate cancer. In localized disease, it can distinguish between low-and high-grade cancers and can guide the decision to proceed with or defer tissue biopsy. In advanced tumor states, liquid biopsy has a prognostic value and has been used in clinical trials to assess response.
Clinical History
- 75-year-old male with a history of prostate cancer presenting for monitoring
Molecular Profiling Findings
Androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) detected (Figure 1)
t(21;21)(q22;q22) ERG-TMPRSS2 mRNA fusion
Mutations in TP53, CDK12, and GATA2 genes
Chromosomal structural analysis shows +7, +8, -11, +12, -13, -14, and others
Increased prostate-specific antigen (PSA) mRNA
Increased keratin 19 mRNA
No evidence of germline BRCA1/2, BARD1, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK1/2, FANCL, PALB2, or RAD mutation
Discussion
Although serum PSA is used to monitor prostate cancer, PSA levels have often failed to precisely reflect disease burden and extent. Multiple therapies impact patient survival and symptoms without corresponding changes in serum PSA levels. As such, comprehensive analysis of cfDNA and cfRNA using liquid biopsies provides another level of biological information regarding the tumor and its microenvironment. This technique is simple, safe, and easily repeatable throughout the disease course and can serve as a prognostic and predictive biomarker as well as a ready tissue source for molecular profiling. In this specific case we were able to evaluate the patient’s mutation status for AR-V7 (at the RNA level) and homologous recombination repair genes. Men with AR-V7 expression have a shorter progression-free and overall survival when treated with enzalutamide or abiraterone, suggesting a possible means of predicting response to these therapies through cfDNA and cfRNA profiling.

Case Study: ESR1
Background
Circulating tumor DNA and RNA is circulating cell-free DNA/RNA (cfDNA/cfRNA) released by tumor cells in the blood. cfDNA and cfRNA can be detected in the plasma of patients with cancer, and their analysis represents a minimally invasive tool for detecting and monitoring key gene mutations and alterations. In breast cancer, detection of mutations in the estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and PIK3CA genes is very important, since specific targeted therapies have recently there have been developed for patients with mutations in these genes.
Clinical History
- 62-year-old female with relapsing (ER+/HER2 -) breast cancer
Molecular Profiling Findings
- Mutations in ESR1, PIK3CA, MAP3K1, PRKDC, KMT2C, MYC, ROS1, NOTCH2, and EP300 genes
Discussion
Endocrine therapy is the main treatment option for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC). Compared with other clinical subtypes, ER+ BC patients usually have a more favorable prognosis. However, almost all ER+ BC patients eventually develop endocrine resistance and disease progression. Mutations in ESR1 play a key role in resistance to aromatase inhibitors, but tumors harboring these mutations may retain sensitivity to selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERD). Recently, elacestrant, an oral SERD, was approved for patients with ER+, HER2-negative, ESR1 mutant advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Detection of PIK3CA mutations is important as well, since alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant has been approved for patients with HR+, HER2-negative, PIK3CA mutant advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose disease has progressed after endocrine therapy. Detection of ESR1 and PIK3CA mutations could also have important clinical applications for the follow-up of these patients. In this case, the patient’s breast cancer tissue was sequenced initially, and treated was prescribed accordingly. ESR1 mutation was not detected in the diagnostic tissue sample. Later, the patient’s disease progressed and relapsed. A minimally invasive liquid biopsy revealed ESR1 mutation, consistent with endocrine resistance.
In summary, novel SERDS and PIK3CA inhibitors are emerging as new therapeutic options for metastatic breast cancer. The analysis of cfDNA and cfRNA allows for non-invasive monitoring of these mutations over time, providing clinicians with valuable information about treatment response, disease progression, and the emergence of resistance. This approach reduces the need for invasive tissue biopsies and enables real-time monitoring of the tumor's genetic profile, facilitating personalized treatment decisions. Furthermore, Liquid Trace liquid biopsy can be used as a tissue-informed test for monitoring response and measurable residual disease with high sensitivity but at the same time detecting clonal evolution of new mutations.
