    Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality in China.

    Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of lung cancer are essential
    to prolong patients' survival, reduce economic burden and improve quality of life.
    At present, low-dose spiral telemetry (LDCT) is the preferred method for early screening of lung cancer, but LDCT carries radiation risks and a high false-positive rate, which may lead to overtreatment
    .
    Early tumor screening technology based on liquid biopsy has the advantages of accuracy, non-invasiveness and high efficiency, and has become a new direction
    for early screening of lung cancer in recent years.
    However, it is known that some liquid biopsy techniques are still weak in the detection of lung cancer, especially early lung cancer
    [1][2].
    More sensitive and stable models are still needed to accurately interpret
    early lung cancer signals.


    On November 8, 2022, the team of Xu Lin and Yin Rong of Nanjing Medical University Cancer Hospital published a title in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine Multi-dimensional cell-free DNA fragmentomic assay for detection of early-stage lung cancer [3].

    。 Based on liquid biopsy early screening technology, the study was modeled by the omics characteristics of cfDNA (cell-free DNA) fragments, which showed excellent and stable performance
    in lung cancer screening prediction.


    In this study, a total of 542 patients with non-small cell lung cancer and healthy volunteers (312 cases of non-small cell lung cancer and 230 cases of healthy people) were randomly divided into three cohorts: model training cohort, validation cohort I, and validation cohort II
    。 Validation Cohort I was used to evaluate model performance and determine the threshold (cutoff) for tumor judgment of Cancer Score, which was further evaluated
    in Validation Cohort II.
    In addition, 240 independently validated cohorts (120 non-small cell lung cancer and 120 healthy people)
    were included.


    Low-depth whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on the cfDNA of the enrolled population, and the fragment size distribution (FSD), fragment size ratio (FSR), end sequence (EDM), break point sequence (BPM), and copy number change (CNV) characteristics of genomic cfDNA were extracted.
    An ensemble model using a combination of five machine learning methods to identify healthy people from cancer patients
    .


    Research highlights

    1.
    Large sample size study (n=782, 432 cases of non-small cell lung cancer, 350 cases of healthy people); Among them, more than 75% of lung cancer samples were from early-stage patients, 53.
    7% of stage I patients and 23.
    1% of stage II patients.

    2.
    Using machine learning methods to decode and identify the fragmentomic characteristics of tumors, the established model showed excellent performance in the training set, verification cohort and independent verification cohort, and the AUC exceeded 97%;

    3.
    The model still has high screening stability between different detection batches and low-depth WGS sequencing, which provides support for clinical feasibility;

    4.
    The model has excellent predictive performance for early tumors, with a sensitivity of 83.
    2% for stage I lung cancer and 85%
    for tumors less than 1cm.

    In this study, Dr.
    Wang Siwei, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Jiangsu Cancer Hospital, Master Meng Fanchen, Master of the Fourth Clinical Medical College of Nanjing Medical University, and Professor Li Ming, Director of the Second Department of Thoracic Surgery, Jiangsu Cancer Hospital, were the joint first authors
    .
    This research was strongly supported
    by Nanjing Shihe Genomics and the School of Public Health of Nanjing Medical University.
