项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Detecting cancer early is the best way to fight against cancer. The development of the Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) liquid biopsy tests holds great promise for integrating early cancer detection into routine clinical care. However, the current MCED tests have unsatisfactory performance for early-stage cancers. Recently, we have developed a sensitive and cost-effective technology, named cell-free DNA Methylome Sequencing (cfMethyl-Seq), which uses the cell-free DNA methylome for early cancer detection. cfMethyl-Seq provides >12-fold enrichment over whole genome bisulfite sequencing in CpG islands. We performed the proof- of-principle study by applying cfMethyl-seq to a cohort of colon, liver, lung, and stomach cancer patients and controls, and obtained promising results in detecting and locating these cancer types. Here, we will further improve the cfMethyl-seq technology and apply it to detect and locate colon, gastric, liver, and lung cancer. We will validate this MCED test in multiple clinical cohorts. Our multidisciplinary team proposes the following aims: (1) Continued improvement of the cfMethyl-seq assay for early cancer detection. (2) Continued improvement of our computational method to analyze the cfDNA methylome assay data. (3) Clinically validate the cfDNA Methylome assay as an MCED assay with colon/gastric/liver/lung cancers as the first indications. (4) Contribute to Collaborative Trans-consortium Activities. We have a long-standing collaboration with the industry partner, EarlyDiagnostics, which will optimize the cfMethyl-seq assay to facilitate its clinical adoption and implement the computational algorithm in a secure cloud computing platform to facilitate data sharing and decentralized testing.

项目摘要尽早发现癌症是对抗癌症的最佳方法。早期多癌的发展检测（MCED）液体活检测试具有将早期癌症检测整合到常规的巨大希望临床护理。但是，当前的MCED测试对于早期癌症的性能不令人满意。最近，我们开发了一种敏感且具有成本效益的技术，称为无细胞DNA甲基甲基测序（CFMETHYL-SEQ），该测序使用无细胞的DNA甲基甲基甲基甲基甲基检测。 cfmethyl-seq 在CPG岛中，对整个基因组亚硫酸盐测序提供了> 12倍的富集。我们进行了证明 - 通过将Cfmethyl-Seq应用于结肠，肝脏，肺和胃癌患者以及对照并获得了有希望的结果，可以检测和定位这些癌症类型。在这里，我们将进一步改进CFMETHYL-SEQ技术，并将其应用于检测和定位结肠，胃，肝癌和肺癌。我们将在多个临床队列中验证此MCED测试。我们的多学科团队提出了以下目的：（1）持续改进Cfmethyl-Seq分析以进行早期癌症检测。（2）继续改善我们分析CFDNA甲基分子测定数据的计算方法。（3）临床验证CFDNA 甲基组分析作为结肠/胃/肝脏/肺癌作为第一指示的甲基化测定法。（4）贡献进行协作的跨性别活动。我们与行业合作伙伴进行了长期合作，早期诊断，它将优化CFMETHYL-SEQ分析以促进其临床采用并实施安全云计算平台中的计算算法，以促进数据共享和分散测试。
