Abstract: | Background/ObjectivesA breakthrough in chemotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) may be achieved using precision medicine, which involves identifying cases that are highly likely to respond to a certain treatment and then performing that treatment. BRCAness has been receiving attention as a novel predictor of anticancer drug sensitivity in PDAC, making the screening of BRCAness paramount.MethodsWe conducted the first-ever examination of the feasibility of analyzing BRCAness using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples obtained via endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) from 20 patients with the highest pancreatic carcinoma cell counts in tissue samples out of 40 consecutive PDAC patients who underwent EUS-FNAB at our hospital were analyzed by MLPA for BRCAness.ResultsWe were able to accurately analyze BRCAness in 75% of the 20 cases of PDAC using FFPE tissue obtained by EUS-FNAB. BRCAness was observed in one of the 20 cases.ConclusionsIn PDAC, analyzing BRCAness by MLPA using FFPE tissue obtained by EUS-FNAB offers the remarkable benefit of yielding results in a short period of time and at a low cost. In addition, this method of BRCAness analysis may prove to be a feasible and effective approach for performing precision medicine. |
