Abstract BACKGROUND Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a good candidate for tracking tumor dynamics in different cancer types, potentially avoiding repeated tumor biopsies. Many different genes can be mutated within a tumor, complicating procedures for tumor monitoring, even with highly sensitive next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategies. Droplet-based digital PCR (dPCR) is a highly sensitive and quantitative procedure, allowing detection of very low amounts of circulating tumor genetic material, but can be limited in the total number of target loci monitored. METHODS We analyzed hypermethylation of 3 genes, by use of droplet-based dPCR in different stages of colorectal cancer (CRC), to identify universal markers for tumor follow-up. RESULTS Hypermethylation of WIF1 (WNT inhibitory factor 1) and NPY (neuropeptide Y) genes was significantly higher in tumor tissue compared to normal tissue, independently of tumor stage. All tumor tissues appeared positive for one of the 2 markers. Methylated ctDNA (MetctDNA) was detected in 80% of metastatic CRC and 45% of localized CRC. For samples with detectable mutations in ctDNA, MetctDNA and mutant ctDNA (MutctDNA) fractions were correlated. During follow-up of different stage CRC patients, MetctDNA changes allowed monitoring of tumor evolution. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that MetctDNA could be used as a universal surrogate marker for tumor follow-up in CRC patients, and monitoring MetctDNA by droplet-based dPCR could avoid the need for monitoring mutations.

Malignant melanoma accounts for about 1% of all skin cancers, but it causes most of the skin cancer-related deaths. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing is emerging as a relevant tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer. The availability of highly sensitive techniques, including next generation sequencing (NGS)-based panels, has increased the fields of application of ctDNA testing. While ctDNA-based tests for the early detection of melanoma are not available yet, perioperative ctDNA analysis in patients with surgically resectable melanoma offers relevant prognostic information: i) the detection of ctDNA before surgery correlates with the extent and the aggressiveness of the disease; ii) ctDNA testing after surgery/adjuvant therapy identifies minimal residual disease; iii) testing ctDNA during the follow-up can detect a tumor recurrence, anticipating clinical/radiological progression. In patients with advanced melanoma, several studies have demonstrated that the analysis of ctDNA can better depict tumor heterogeneity and provides relevant prognostic information. In addition, ctDNA testing during treatment allows assessing the response to systemic therapy and identifying resistance mechanisms. Although validation in prospective clinical trials is needed for most of these approaches, ctDNA testing opens up new scenarios in the management of melanoma patients that could lead to improvements in the diagnosis and therapy of this disease.
