Observational Clinical Study on Role of MRD in Predicting Local Therapy in Oligometastatic Breast Cancer

Tumour somatic mutations were identified by 1021 panel sequencing of tumour tissues from cancer patients, and up to 20 mutations were selected as follow-up monitoring loci based on the tumour somatic variants of the patients, and a personalised panel was designed and customised.Post-operative blood from patients was analysed for recurrence risk stratification and drug indications using a combination of personalised panel and a cancer-specific core panel (\~5 kb) stacked on top of each other. The postoperative blood of patients was subjected to cfDNA targeted capture and ultra-high depth NGS sequencing (\>100,000×) to analyse the status of the surveillance loci in the peripheral blood for recurrence risk stratification and medication advice.
