Significance
</ br> </ br> </ br> High sensitivity in the detection of cfDNA mutations. The assay successfully identified four early-stage HCC cases (<3 cm) from 331 HBsAg (+) individuals who were negative based on screening with serum AFP and ultrasonography. The positive predictive value was 17% , which was much higher than in previous studies. This paper shows that the combination of cfDNA and serum protein markers has significant promise for the early detection of HCC in the community population.
Abstract
Liquid biopsies, based on cell free DNA (cfDNA) and proteins, have shown the potential to detect early stage cancers of diverse tissue types. However, most of these studies were retrospective, using individuals previously diagnosed with cancer as cases and healthy individuals as controls The developed cohort consist of of individuals who have liver Nodules and/or elevated serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, and the assay robustly separated those with HCC from those who were non-HCC with a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 93%. We further applied this assay to 331 individuals With normal liver ultrasonography and serum AFP levels. A total of 24 positive cases were identified, and a clinical follow-up for 6–8 mo confirmed four had developed HCC. No HCC case s were diagnosed from the 307 test-negative individuals in the follow-up during the same timescale. Thus, the assay showed 100% sensitivity, 94% specificity, and 17% positive predictive value in the validation cohort. Notably, each of the four HCC cases were at the early stage (<3 cm) when diagnosed. Our study provides evidence that the use of combined detection of cfDNA alterations and protein markers is a feasible approach to identify early stage HCC from asymptomatic community populations with unknown HCC status.
