Brief description: The concept of liquid biopsy has generated much scientific and commercial enthusiasm as it starts with a very accessible sample type - a body fluid, typically blood, rather than conventional solid tissue biopsy. Nevertheless, most current liquid biopsy efforts focus on genomic data which relies on a largely reductionist view that tumors form and progress only through the collection of its immortalized cells. While the current TNM staging system stratifies patients based on the extent of cancer spread, it is now overwhelmingly apparent that throughout cancer progression, tumor promoting inflammation is intrinsic to progressive disease. So although the TMN system provides guidance for clinical management, outcomes from local tumor excision at one end of the spectrum and adjuvant therapy at the other end, vary greatly among the variety of possible treatments within these stages. There remains great need for more personalized biomarkers to differentiate patient sub-populations and treatment options. For this, the supporting tumor microenvironments or stroma, must also be evaluated. Using proteomics and gene expression, we highlight the importance of the systemic inflammatory response to the presence of cancer anywhere in the body, largely derived from an unresolved innate immune response. Also, that the tumor-stroma microenvironment is an important prognostic parameter for patients with epithelial cancer types. We conclude that the stromal conditioning protein blueprint, as captured by the Stroma Liquid Biopsy™ panel, encompasses a more discreet stratification of the tumor and patient prognosis, and offers new insights into therapeutic strategies that might beneficially modulate the tumor-microenvironment.
“ This was a very successful meeting for us as we were able to first and foremost show how all our sample prep and enrichment products are advantageously used in LC-MS analysis. Along with that, we were able to share very exciting developments from our research collaboration with Leiden University Medical Center, on our Stroma Liquid Biopsy™ platform. This panel of cancer-associated proteins necessitates the use of LC-MS to determine not only abundance levels but also functional attributes, which cannot be monitored by antigen presentation, aptamer or other like proteomic platforms. â€�, states Dr. Swapan Roy, Ph.D., President and Founder of Biotech Support Group.
