Popis: Abstract The detection of copy number variations (CNVs) and somatic mutations in cancer is important for the selection of specific drugs for patients with cancer. In cancers with sporadic tumor cells, low tumor content prevents the accurate detection of somatic alterations using targeted sequencing. To efficiently identify CNVs, we performed tumor cell enrichment using tissue suspensions of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections with low tumor cell content. Tumor-enriched and residual fractions were separated from FFPE tissue suspensions of intestinal and diffuse-type gastric cancers containing sporadic tumor cells, and targeted sequencing was performed on 225 cancer-related genes. Sequencing of a targeted panel of cancer-related genes using tumor-enriched fractions increased the number of detectable CNVs and the copy number of amplified genes. Furthermore, CNV analysis using the normal cell-enriched residual fraction as a reference for CNV scoring allowed targeted sequencing to detect CNV characteristics of diffuse-type gastric cancer with low tumor content. Our approach improves the CNV detection rate in targeted sequencing with tumor enrichment and the accuracy of CNV detection in archival samples without paired blood.
